摘要: 为解析小麦低温胁迫应答机制并挖掘优异抗寒基因资源,通过转录组测序揭示小麦低温响应的关键调控网络,并对候选基因TaGGCT18-6A进行功能验证。结果表明,4 ℃冷处理诱导小麦幼苗分别产生10 893个(6 h处理)和18 784个(24 h处理)差异表达基因,KEGG富集分析显示,差异基因显著富集于MAPK信号转导及谷胱甘肽代谢等通路。基于谷胱甘肽代谢途径关键基因筛选,克隆获得γ-谷氨酰环转移酶基因TaGGCT18-6A。该基因全长1 772 bp,编码218个氨基酸,其编码蛋白具有典型的GGCT-like超家族结构域及核心结构域ChaC。启动子顺式作用元件分析表明,该基因含低温响应元件(LTR)及脱水响应元件(DRE)等胁迫相关元件;表达模式分析发现,TaGGCT18-6A在4 ℃冷处理下呈持续上调趋势。转基因水稻功能验证表明,过表达株系在-4 ℃低温冻害胁迫下相较野生型对照,OE#1、OE#2和OE#3存活率与生物量显著提高,OE#1和OE#2的株高显著提高,OE#1、OE#2和OE#3相对电导率显著降低。经4 ℃冷处理后,过表达株系渗透调节物质(脯氨酸、可溶性糖)积累量较对照显著增加,丙二醛含量降低;SOD、POD和CAT活性显著上升。以上研究表明,TaGGCT18-6A通过调控谷胱甘肽代谢增强抗氧化能力,进而提高植物低温耐受性,为小麦抗寒分子育种提供理论依据和优异基因资源。

Abstract:

To elucidate the mechanisms of cold response and explore superior cold-tolerance gene resources in wheat,this study employed transcriptome sequencing to uncover key regulatory networks underlying wheat cold response,and performed functional validation of the candidate gene TaGGCT18-6A.The results demonstrated that 4 ℃ cold treatments induced 10 893 and 18 784 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)in wheat seedlings after 6 h and 24 h cold treatment,respectively.KEGG analysis revealed significant enrichment of DEGs in pathways including MAPK signaling transduction and glutathione metabolism.A γ-glutamyl cyclotransferase gene TaGGCT18-6A was cloned through screening key genes in glutathione metabolism.This gene had a length of 1 772 bp,encoding 218 amino acids with conserved GGCT-like superfamily and ChaC core domain.Promoter cis-acting element analysis identified stress-responsive elements such as low-temperature-responsive(LTR)and dehydration-responsive (DRE)elements; consistently,expression pattern analysis showed sustained upregulation of TaGGCT18-6A under 4 ℃ cold treatments. Functional validation in transgenic rice revealed that overexpression lines OE#1, OE#2 and OE#3 exhibited significantly enhanced survival rate,plant height,and biomass. Overexpression lines OE#1 and OE#2 exhibited significantly enhanced plant height, while overexpression lines OE#1, OE#2 and OE#3 exhibited significantly reduced relative electrolyte leakage under -4 ℃ freezing treatments.After 4 ℃ treatment,overexpression lines accumulated higher levels of osmolytes(proline and soluble sugars),decreased malondialdehyde(MDA)content,and increased activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD),peroxidase(POD),and catalase(CAT).These findings collectively demonstrated that TaGGCT18-6A enhanced plant cold tolerance by regulating glutathione metabolism to improve antioxidant capacity.This study will provide a theoretical foundation and valuable genetic resources for molecular breeding of cold-tolerant wheat.
