摘要:

为明确核桃无融合生殖核仁的调控机制,以新新2号核桃(花后60 d、花后80 d、花后100 d)的核仁为试验材料,运用转录组分析无融合生殖和正常授粉受精核仁的差异表达基因(DEG),并测定核仁中的生长素(3-indoleacetic acid, IAA)、细胞分裂素(cytokinin, ZT)、赤霉素(gibberellin, GA)、油菜素甾醇(brassinosteroid, BR)、脱落酸(abscisic acid, ABA)和乙烯(ethylene, ETH)等激素含量变化。研究结果表明:花后60 d,无融合生殖核仁的IAA、ZT、BR含量显著(P<0.05)低于正常授粉受精核仁,分别降低28.57%、19.59%和12.07%;GA、ABA、ETH含量显著(P<0.05)高于正常授粉受精核仁,分别提高34.91%、31.50%和19.54%。花后80 d,无融合生殖核仁的IAA、ZT、ETH含量显著(P<0.05)高于正常授粉受精核仁,分别提高6.58%、17.80%、7.44%;GA、BR、ABA含量显著(P<0.05)低于正常授粉受精核仁,分别降低29.37%、14.99%、10.65%。花后100 d,无融合生殖核仁的IAA、ZT、GA、BR和ETH含量显著(P<0.05)高于正常授粉受精核仁,分别提高18.87%、30.12%、16.96%、3.70%和20.57%;ABA含量显著(P<0.05)低于正常授粉受精核仁,降低44.85%。转录组分析结果显示,植物激素信号转导路径中共筛选出62个调控植物激素的差异表达基因,其中,生长素流入载体基因(AUX1 LAX_2)、B类细胞分裂素响应因子基因(ARR-B1)、脱落酸受体基因(PYL2)、BAK家族基因(BAK1)、磷酸基团转移酶基因(AHP4)在无融合生殖核仁中上调表达,F-box蛋白基因(GID2_SLY1_2)、E3泛素连接酶基因(EBF1/2_1、EBF1/2_2)在无融合生殖核仁中下调表达。实时荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)验证结果显示,挑选出的8个基因的相对表达量差异与转录组分析结果一致。核桃油脂转化初期高含量的IAA、ZT、BR可促进无融合生殖核仁发育,ETH在无融合生殖核仁油脂转化中后期起调控作用。植物激素信号转导途径相关基因可调节激素水平变化,AUX1 LAX_2、ARR-B1、PYL2、BAK1、AHP4、GID2_SLY1_2、EBF1/2基因均参与调控核桃无融合生殖核仁的发育。

Abstract:

In order to understand the molecular regulation of apomictic nucleolus development in walnuts, the apomictic kernels and fertilized kernels of ‘Xinxin 2’ walnut were used as the experimental materials in this study. The transcriptome and hormone contents such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), cytokinin (ZT), gibberellin (GA), brassinosteroid (BR), abscisic acid (ABA), and ethylene (ETH) were analyzed. The results showed that at 60 days after flowering, the contents of IAA, ZT, and BR in apomictic kernels were significantly (P<0.05) lower than those in normally fertilized kernels, decreasing by 28.57%, 19.59%, and 12.07%, respectively; the contents of GA, ABA, and ETH in apomictic kernels were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those in normally fertilized kernels, increasing by 34.91%, 31.50%, and 19.54%, respectively. At 80 days after flowering, the contents of IAA, ZT, and ETH in apomictic kernels were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those in normally fertilized kernels, increasing by 6.58%, 17.80%, and 7.44%, respectively; meanwhile, the contents of GA, BR, and ABA in apomictic kernels were significantly (P<0.05) lower than those in normally fertilized kernels, decreasing by 29.37%, 14.99%, and 10.65%, respectively. At 100 days after flowering, the contents of IAA, ZT, GA, BR, and ETH in apomictic kernels were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those in normally fertilized kernels, increasing by 18.87%, 30.12%, 16.96%, 3.70%, and 20.57%, respectively; the content of ABA in apomictic kernels was significantly (P<0.05) lower than those in normally fertilized kernels, decreasing by 44.85%. Transcriptome sequencing result showed that 62 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in plant hormone signal transduction pathways were identified. Among them, auxin influx carrier gene (AUX1 LAX_2), B-class cytokinin response factor gene (ARR-B1), abscisic acid receptor gene (PYL2), BAK family gene (BAK1), and phosphotransferase gene (AHP4) were upregulated in apomictic kernels, whereas F-box protein gene (GID2_SLY1_2) and E3 ubiquitin ligase genes (EBF1/2_1, EBF1/2_2) were downregulated. Eight genes that related to differentially metabolites were verified by qRT-PCR and the results were consistent with the finding in transcriptome analysis. It was concluded that during the oil conversion period of walnuts, high contents of IAA, ZT, BR, ETH could promote the development of apomictic kernels. Genes such as AUX1 LAX_2, ARR-B1, PYL2, BAK1, AHP4, GID2_SLY1_2, and EBF1/2 which connect with plant hormone signal transduction pathways were participating in regulating the development of apomictic kernel development.
