Abstract:

Salt-alkali stress has become one of the important factors restricting agricultural production in my country.Exploring the molecular mechanism of salt tolerance of crops has important theoretical and practical value for crop breeding.The purpose of this study is to clone the ZmMPI gene in corn and transform corn plants.First,qRT-PCR was used to analyze the ZmMPI expression changes in plants treated with saline-alkali solutions.Then DNAMAN software was used to perform multiple comparison analysis of the ZmMPI protein sequence.MEGA 7.0 software was used to construct a phylogenetic tree,and a series of software were used to analyze the ZmMPI protein sequence.ZmMPI performed bioinformatics analysis.Finally,molecular cloning technology was used to successfully clone the coding sequence of the ZmMPI gene,construct a plant overexpression vector,and use Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation method to transform the corn inbred line B104.The overexpression transgenic plants were transformed at the genome level,transcription level and protein level.Identify and analyze changes in expression levels.The results showed that the expression level of the ZmMPI gene showed an overall trend of first increasing and then decreasing after being subjected to salt-alkali stress;the ZmMPI protein sequence comparison result showed a similarity rate of 64.15%,and the phylogenetic tree showed that ZmMPI had the highest homology with Zea mays subsp.parviglumis ABA34115.1.The protein contained a protein domain Potato_inhibit,which had an α-helix,a random coil and a β-turn.It was relatively hydrophobic and had 10 predicted Potential phosphorylation sites;the identification results of the 49 transformation events obtained showed that the ZmMPI gene in 13 over-expressed transgenic lines could be expressed normally at the genome level,and the ZmMPI gene in 10 over-expressed transgenic lines could be transcribed and translated normally.Finally,10 overexpression transgenic lines capable of normal transcription and translation were obtained,laying the foundation for further exploring the molecular mechanism of ZmMPI gene in response to salt-alkali stress.
