摘要: 病毒诱导的基因沉默(VIGS)和成簇规律间隔的短回文重复序列/CRISPR相关蛋白(CRISPR/Cas)系统是现代植物生物技术中快速、精准进行基因功能验证的有效手段。然而,关于萝卜基因沉默和编辑的研究仍然有限。在本研究中,利用烟草脆裂病毒(TRV)和芜菁黄化花叶病毒(TYMV)介导的基因沉默技术敲减萝卜中八氢番茄红素脱氢酶基因(RsPDS),获得具有白化表型的株系;且TYMV介导的基因沉默效率高于TRV萝卜基因型‘NAU-067’叶片中RsPDS的表达水平显著下降。构建带有2RsPDS靶序列的2300GN-Ubi-RsPDS-Cas9载体,采用发根农杆菌介导的遗传转化对‘NAU-067’无根苗进行侵染。结果发现毛状根中9条不定根经GUS染色呈现蓝色,Sanger测序进一步发现其中4条不定根在RsPDS基因的靶序列1上发生了编辑。此外,通过根癌农杆菌介导的萝卜子叶转化获得了白化株系。株系1在靶序列2处发生了5个碱基替换和3个碱基缺失,株系2在靶序列1处发生了3个碱基插入和3个碱基替换。利用VIGSCRISPR/Cas9技术可以精准验证萝卜基因的生物学功能,因此,它将促进萝卜育种计划中重要园艺性状的遗传改良。

Abstract: Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR/Cas) systems are effective technologies for rapid and accurate gene function verification in modern plant biotechnology.  However, the investigation of gene silencing and editing in radish remains limited.  In this study, a bleaching phenotype was generated through the knockdown of RsPDS using tobacco rattle virus (TRV)- and turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV)-mediated gene silencing vectors.  The TYMV-mediated gene silencing efficiency was higher than the TRV-based VIGS system in radish.  The expression level of RsPDS was significantly inhibited using VIGS in ‘NAU-067’ radish leaves.  The rootless seedlings of ‘NAU-067’ were infected with Agrobacterium rhizogenes using the 2300GN-Ubi-RsPDS-Cas9 vector with two target sequences.  Nine adventitious roots were blue with GUS staining, and four of these adventitious roots were edited at target sequence 1 of the RsPDS gene as indicated by Sanger sequencing.  Furthermore, albino lines were generated with Atumefaciens-mediated transformation of radish cotyledons.  Five base substitutions and three base deletions occurred at target sequence 2 in Line 1, and three base insertions and three base substitutions occurred at target sequence 1 in Line 2.  This study shows that VIGS and CRISPR/Cas9 techniques can be employed to precisely verify the biological functions of genes in radish, which will facilitate the genetic improvement of vital horticultural traits in radish breeding program
