摘要:

玉米是我国第一大作物,稳定其生长和抗逆的平衡是保障高产稳产的重要基础。茉莉素在植物发育和应对逆境胁迫中发挥重要功能,信号通路中的核心转录因子MYC2调控多种发育及逆境相关基因表达。虽然MYC2在拟南芥中的功能已经得到广泛研究,但其在玉米中的表达调控网络解析不够全面。本研究以玉米为研究对象,首先明确了ZmMYC2在玉米育种进程中受到选择,其启动子区的优异单倍型有利于基因表达。借助PER-seq技术和差异表达基因分析筛选得到多个ZmMYC2的候选下游基因根据功能注释可将这些基因分为:抗逆相关基因(ZmCYP709H1ZmBX5ZmBX6)和生长发育相关基因(ZmBRD1ZmTIP3cZmARF3ZmCER2;进而利用eQTL分析、EMSA和双荧光素酶报告基因等实验,验证了ZmMYC2能够直接激活上述靶基因的表达,拓展了ZmMYC2调控玉米逆境响应和生长发育相关基因表达网络,为玉米高产和抗逆的协同改良提供理论依据和基因资源
