Abstract:

Low temperature is the main factor affecting the distribution of Camellia in Northern China.In order to further expand the distribution range of Camellia and enhance the diversity of garden plants in Northern China.The yeast library was constructed by Gateway recombination technology using the leaves of C.japonica(Naidong)Daochengchunzao as materials.The total number of clones in the primary library was 1.44×107 cfu,the total number of clones in the secondary library was 1.12×107 cfu,the positive rate of recombination was 100%,the titer of yeast library was 1.00×108 cfu/mL,and the average insert fragment of yeast clone was more than 1 000 bp,which met the standard of library construction.The bait vector pGBKT7-CjCBF1 was constructed by double enzyme digestion and homologous recombination,which was non-toxicity and self-activation activity in yeast cells.The library screening was conducted by plasmid cotransfer method,and 46 candidate proteins interacting with CjCBF1 were obtained,whose functions involved plant growth and development,flowering and fruiting,and response to stress,etc.CjRAV1 was selected as a candidate protein.Primers were designed according to the transcriptome database of C.japonica(Naidong)and Camellia sinensis genome database.The CjRAV1 gene was cloned and the full length of the gene CDS was 1 023 bp.Bioinformatics results showed that the gene encoded 341 amino acids with a relative molecularity of 37.99 ku,a protein isoelectric point of 9.10,an instability index of 34.74 and a lipid index of 76.60.The amino acid sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree construction of the species with close homology to CjRAV1 were carried out.It was found that it was closely related to Camellia lanceoleosa,Diospyros lotus and Actinidia chinensis.In order to reduce the false positive probability of the library screening,the pGADT7-CjRAV1 vector was constructed and verified with pGBKT7-CjCBF1 by point-to-point.It was confirmed that there was an interaction between the two proteins,which laid a foundation for further study on the molecular mechanism of low temperature response of C.japonica(Naidong).
