Preparation method of gene editing plant with altered starch component content in barley grains
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological gene engineering, in particular to a preparation method of a gene editing plant with the content of starch components in barley grains changed.
Background
Barley (Hordeum vulgare l.) is the fourth largest cereal crop worldwide next to wheat, rice and maize. Starch is the largest chemical component of barley kernels. Starch in barley kernels can be classified into amylose and amylopectin according to their structure, and cereal crops of different uses have different requirements on the quantity and proportion of amylose and amylopectin. Therefore, crops with different starch components can meet different living demands.
Currently, genetically edited starch synthesis genes are commonly used to alter crop starch components. For example, gene editing SSSIIa (sex 6 mutant) reduced amylopectin content, whereas significant increase in amylose synthesis (Morell,M.K.,Kosar-Hashemi,B.,Cmiel,M.,Samuel,M.S.,Chandler,P.,Rahman,S.,Buleon,A.,Batey,I.L.,&Li,Z.(2003).Barley sex6 mutants lack starch synthase IIa activity and contain a starch with novel properties.The Plant Journal,34,173-185.Yang,Q.,Ding,J.,Feng,X.,Zhong,X.,Lan,J.,Tang,H.,Harwood,W.,Li,Z.,Guzmán,C.,Xu,Q.,Zhang,Y.,Jiang,Y.,Qi,P.,Deng,M.,Ma,J.,Wang,J.,Chen,G.,Lan,X.,Wei,Y.,Zheng,Y.,&Jiang,Q.(2022).Editing of the starch synthase IIa gene led to transcriptomic and metabolomic changes and high amylose starch in barley.Carbohydrate Polymers,285,119238.). in maize, grain amylose content of SBEIIb deletion mutant (amylose extender, ae-) increased (Kim,K.N.,Fisher,D.K.,Gao,M.,&Guiltinan,M.J.(1998).Molecular cloning and characterization of the amylose-extender gene encoding starch branching enzyme IIb in maize.Plant Molecular Biology,38,945-956.). but gene editing a gene only achieved unidirectional control of phenotype.
The technique of fine-controlling gene expression has been applied (Zeng,D.,Liu,T.,Ma,X.,Wang,B.,Zheng,Z.,Zhang,Y.,Xie,X.,Yang,B.,Zhao,Z.,Zhu,Q.,&Liu,Y.G.(2020).Quantitative regulation of Waxy expression by CRISPR/Cas9 based promoter and 5'UTR-intron editing improves grain quality in rice.Plant Biotechnology Journal,18,2385-2387.Huang,L.,Li,Q.,Zhang,C.,Chu,R.,Gu,Z.,Tan,H.,Zhao,D.,Fan,X.,&Liu,Q.(2020).Creating novel Wx alleles with fine-tuned amylose levels and improved grain quality in rice by promoter editing using CRISPR/Cas9 system.Plant Biotechnology Journal,18,2164-2166.), to the rice wall gene, which does not directly edit the gene coding region, but rather finely controls gene expression by knocking out the promoter element of the gene. The gene editing promoter region makes the gene editing result more possible.
The SBEIIb gene plays an important role in the biosynthesis of amylopectin and is the only enzyme that can be used to generate branches. The promoter region comprises a plurality of cis-acting elements which play an important role, and the expression and the function of the elements on the SBEIIb gene are still unknown.
In accordance with the above requirements, the present invention provides a method for altering the starch component of barley kernels using a gene editing promoter.

And 39.90%, the B7M 1 and B7M 2 amylose content was extremely significantly reduced by 33.27% and 24.97%, respectively, and the amylopectin content was extremely significantly increased by 40.17% and 44.95%, respectively (FIG. 2).
Example 5 functional verification of SBEIIb Gene
1) Planting and sampling of 30 barley materials
The control GP and the mutants B5M 1, B5M 2, B7M 1 and B7M 2 are simultaneously planted in a plant growth chamber, the temperature of the plant growth chamber is 22 ℃ in the daytime, 18 ℃ at night, the photoperiod is 14h in the daytime and 10h at night, the light intensity is 300 mu M-M -2s-1, and the planted soil is a mixture of peat and vermiculite, and the ratio is 9:1. Sampling barley seeds 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and 28 days after flowers, cutting off the snapping seeds, removing the awns, rapidly placing the seeds into a 15mL centrifuge tube after liquid nitrogen precooling, and storing at-80 ℃ after liquid nitrogen quick freezing. RNA contamination is avoided in the whole sampling process.
2) Extraction, reverse transcription and fluorescent quantitative PCR of RNA
Total RNA was extracted using Quick RNA extraction kit (Hua-Vietnam Biotechnology Co., ltd., beijing, china), cDNA was synthesized according to the reverse transcription kit (Takara, japan) instruction, and the housekeeping gene 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde dehydrogenase gene was used as an internal reference, and the amplification sequence was GAPDH-F:5'-GTGAGGCTGGTGCTGATTACG-3', GAPDH-R:
5’-TGGTGCAGCTAGCATTTGAGAC-3’;
The expression level of SBEIIb gene and other starch synthesis related genes including AGPS, AGPL, GBSSI, SSI, SSIIa, SSIIIa, SSIIIb, SSIVa, SBEI, SBEIIa, SBEIIIa, SBEIIIb, ISAI, ISAII, ISAIII, PUL were determined in controls and mutants. The primer list used is as shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 list of primers required for gene expression level measurement.
QRT-PCR reactions were performed using a TB Green TMPreMix Ex TaqTM II kit (Takara, japan) and a LightCycler480 fluorescent quantitative PCR apparatus (Roche, switzerland) with a procedure of 95℃pre-denaturation 90s,95℃denaturation 5s,60℃annealing 20s,40 cycles. The response Ct value of each gene was determined from the amplification curve, and the relative gene expression level was calculated by the 2-DeltaCt method (Schefe et al, 2006). Each value was assayed for 4 biological replicates.
The analysis result shows that the expression quantity of SBEIIb is higher in the early stage of grain development, and the expression quantity is obviously reduced along with the development progress, which shows that the gene has functions in the early stage of grain development (figure 3 a). Compared with GP, the expression level of the B7M 1 and B7M 2 mutants was significantly higher and the expression level of the B5M 2 mutant was significantly lower 7 days after flowers, and the difference of the expression level of SBEIIb was substantially consistent with the difference of the final AP content (figure 2). The overall decrease in SBEIIb expression in the B5 mutant and the overall increase in the B7 mutant (fig. 3B) resulted in a significant decrease in AP content in the B5 mutant and a significant increase in the B7 mutant (fig. 2) throughout the whole grain development period (7 DAF-21 DAF).
Q-PCR was performed on 16 starch synthesis genes. The gene expression profile showed that the genes involved in starch synthesis in the mutant were significantly altered, indicating that starch synthesis was indeed co-regulated by many synthetic genes (FIG. 4). The determination analysis shows that the SBEIIb promoter B5 target spot is knocked out to reduce the gene expression of SBEIIb, thereby reducing the amylopectin content, and the SBEIIb promoter B7 target spot is knocked out to reduce the gene expression of SBEIIb, thereby improving the amylopectin content. Therefore, the B5 or B7 target spot can be knocked out to change the starch component of the barley grain.
