Abstract:

LMI1 is a key gene in the regulation of serrated leaf development.In order to study the mechanism of okra leaf development in cotton,we cloned GaLMI1-like gene and GaLMI1-like promoter by PCR amplification technology from Shixiya 1,which is an Asia cotton species of a genome.The sequence lengths were 681,1 439 bp,respectively.Domain analysis found that GaLMI1-like contained a homeobox domain.Then,we constructed a reorganization overexpression vector p6MYC-GaLMI1-like.The transgenic Arabidopsis showed incised leaf shape when GaLMI1-like was overexpressed in Arabidopsis.Moreover,we analyzed the cis-acting elements of the promoter sequence of GaLMI1-like.It was found that it had basic acting elements,such as CACA-box and TATA-box,and also had photoresponsive element,root,stem and mesophyll-specific expression elements.GUS fusion expression vector of GaLMI1-like promoter was constructed and transformed into Arabidopsis thaliana.GUS staining results showed that the promoter could drive GUS gene expression in root column,stem and leaf,and the expression was especially high in leaf.These results indicated that GaLMI1-like had the function of regulating the formation of incised leaves,and its function was realized by the strong expression of GaLMI1-like regulated by GaLMI1-like promoter in cotton leaves.

Key words: Cotton, GaLMI1-like gene, Leaf shape, Promoter, Cis-acting element, Transgenic Arabidopsis, GUS staining analysis
