Abstract: To explore the regulation mechanism of Jasmonic acid(JA) on growth,maturation and yield in wheat,the gene TaJIP2 was cloned from wheat Bainong 207 by homologous cloning method.Analysis of tissue differential expression showed that TaJIP2 gene was expressed in all tissues and the expression level was the highest in wheat hull.The TaJIP2 gene RNA interference(RNAi) vector was constructed to conduct genetic transformation and functional analysis in wheat.The results showed that silencing TaJIP2 gene increased the key enzymes activities of jasmonic acid biosynthesis,allene oxide cyclase(AOC) and 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductase(OPR),and JA content,and the difference in JA content was mainly reflected in the roots.At the same time,it significantly promoted the growth of roots and above ground parts in wheat,and the difference was also mainly in root growth.In addition,observation of the ultrastructure of root tip cells showed that the root tip cells of TaJIP2 gene silenced plants were complete in structure,rich in variety and number of organelles,and strong in cell activity,thus promoting root growth.Silencing TaJIP2 significantly improved the photosynthetic efficiency of wheat leaves,made the heading time earlier,and significantly increased the grain length and width,spike number per plant,grain number per spike,1 000-grain weight and yield per plant.The results showed that RNAi-induced silencing of TaJIP2 significantly promoted the growth,early maturity and high yield of wheat,which indicated that TaJIP2 was a key negative regulator of wheat growth,maturity and yield.These findings provided genetic resources and research basis for promoting the photosynthetic efficiency,growth,early ripeness and high yield in wheat.

Key words: Wheat, Triticum aestivum jasmonate-induced protein 2(TaJIP2), RNA interference, Growth promotion, Early ripeness, High yield
