By usingSH4Method for reducing seed shattering performance of filial generation seeds of cultivated rice and weedy rice by gene silencing
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological environment safety detection, and particularly relates to a method for reducing seed shattering of hybrid progeny seeds of cultivated rice and weedy rice.
Background
The commercial application of transgenic crops brings great economic benefits, and simultaneously, potential transgenic organism safety problems exist: some transgenes (genes of interest) with natural selection advantages, such as: disease, insect and herbicide resistant transgenes can escape from cultivated crops to their wild kindred species by gene drift, thereby generating weeds which are difficult to control and bringing about potential environmental biosafety problems. Thus, in order to try to avoid or reduce the possible hazards due to transgene escape, techniques can be attenuated by transgenes, namely: the gene which has inferior expression on wild relative species of the cultivated crops but has no influence or is beneficial to the cultivated crops is transferred into the cultivated crops, and the gene is transferred into the wild relative population of the cultivated crops through gene drift, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing (weakening) the suitability of the wild relative species. The weakening gene is used as a safety box to be connected with a target transgene in series to construct a transgene vector, and the transgene vector is transferred into a cultivated crop together, so that the environmental safety risk possibly brought by the escape of the target transgene to wild kindred species of the cultivated crop can be reduced.
Cultivated rice is one of the most important grain crops in the world. In recent years, the number of weedy rice in paddy fields has increased due to various reasons such as changes in the way of growing cultivated rice. The weedy rice has stronger seed falling property, and mature rice seeds can easily fall into soil of a rice field under the action of natural wind power or external mechanical force and can not be harvested, so that grains are harvestedA huge loss of yield. However, cultivated rice has poor seed shattering properties. The study showed that the shattering gene of cultivated rice (SH4) Is one of key genes causing the reduction of seed shattering performance in the domestication process, and influences the seed shattering performance of the cultivated rice by regulating and controlling the formation and degradation of a delamination layer on a small spike-cob of the mature cultivated rice. Inhibition can be achieved by different methods of gene silencingSH4Expression of the gene, thereby reducing seed shattering of cultivated rice ifSH4Entry of the gene silencing element into the weedy rice population by gene drift reduces seed shattering of the weedy rice population. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method of cultivating rice using silent rice plantsSH4The gene weakens the falling performance of the weedy rice seeds by the drift of the gene from the cultivated rice to the weedy rice, thereby reducing the environmental safety risk possibly brought by the transfer of the transgenes from the transgenic cultivated rice to the weedy rice, and simultaneously reducing the harm of the weedy rice in the rice field by reducing the falling performance of the weedy rice.
