The present invention belongs to the technical field of gene editing technology for crop breeding, and particularly relates to a method for creating a new germplasm of a male sterile crop by a gene editing and an application thereof.
Crop male sterility is a phenomenon of normal pollination failure due to inability to produce pollen or abort pollen, which is caused by abnormal male organs resulting from physiological or genetic reasons of sexually propagated crops. Because crop male sterility can avoid the artificial emasculation in the pollination process in crop heterosis breeding, a lot of labor input is saved. Meanwhile, crop male sterility significantly improves the purity of hybrid varieties, and creates varieties with heterosis.
Male sterility technology plays an important role in the utilization of heterosis, and obtaining stable male sterility materials has important application value. Male sterility can be divided into nucleus male sterility and nucleus-cytoplasmic male sterility according to a genetic model and position of male-sterile character in cells. At present, male sterility has been applied in crops such as rice, corn, wheat, cabbage, pepper and the like. However, in many crops, male sterility is not used for production mainly due to problems like lack of male sterile resources and stability of male-sterile character of male sterile materials. It is found that the male sterile line material with natural mutation is the main source of male sterile materials. In addition, male sterile materials can be obtained by distant hybridization, artificial mutagenesis, and cell engineering. With the development of biotechnology, it has become possible to create male sterile materials through genetic engineering.
The gene Ty-5 is a tomato yellow leaf curl virus resistance gene in tomato, and is also a surveillance factor for monitoring a peptide chain synthesis process. The gene Ty-5 exists in all crops. In the present application, the new germplasm of male sterility can be created rapidly by performing a gene editing on the gene Ty-5. The development of gene editing technology provides a powerful weapon for the utilization of Ty-5 gene in heterosis breeding. The current gene editing technologies mainly include zinc finger nuclease technology, transcription activator-like effector nuclease technology, and the latest CRISPR/CAS9 gene editing technology. Gene editing realizes the recognition and cleavage of specific DNA sequences, and the introduction of different types of mutations such as deletion, substitution, and insertion of bases at double-strand breaks (DSBs) of DNA, achieving fixed-point editing of DNA.
In view of the problems of the shortage of male sterile materials and the low purity of hybrid varieties, and the current situation of long time and high cost of conventional breeding, gene editing technology is applied to Ty-5 gene according to the present invention, so as to rapidly create a new germplasm of a male sterile crop while retaining agronomic characters of an original male fertile material.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the following technical solutions of the present invention are used.
Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:
(M: 100 bp Marker; 1: regenerated plant No. 1 after the gene editing; 2: regenerated plant No. 2 after the gene editing; 3: wild type Money maker material);

The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described with reference to the drawings in the embodiments. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work should be considered as falling within the scope of the present invention.
A method for creating a new germplasm of a male sterile crop through a gene editing, includes the following steps:
The full length sequence of the Ty-5 gene (as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1) includes a total of 16 exons, and the second exon sequence was selected for the design of the gRNA target site in the present embodiment. The length of target sequence is 19 bp (as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2). The primers were designed based on the target sequence:
The reaction system was as follows: 1 μL of synthesized oligo dimer, 1 μL of Cas9/gRNA vector, 1 μL of Solution 1, and 1 μL of Solution 2, and 6 μL of H2O were mixed homogeneously to obtain a mixed solution, and the mixed solution reacted at 16° C. for 2 h. The ligated vector was transformed into Escherichia coli competent Trans1-T1, and coated on a plate for placing overnight. A single colony was selected for extracting the plasmid, and a sequence analysis was performed on the plasmid. The sequencing primer was sqprimer: 5′-GATGAAGTGGACGGAAGGAAGGAG-3′, as shown in SEQ ID NO: 5. The plasmid was extracted from the colony with the correct sequencing result, and transferred into the Agrobacterium GV3101 by a freeze-thaw method.
The main steps were as follows:
The length of the amplified fragment was about 450 bp, and the product after PCR amplification was subjected to an agarose gel electrophoresis to determine whether the size of the strip was correct (
The pollens of two regenerated plants and wild type moneymaker were collected, and incubated on the germination medium for 4 h at 26° C. in the dark. The pollen contents and the germination thereof of various materials were compared and observed under a microscope (
In summary, the present invention provides a method for creating a new germplasm of a male sterile crop by a gene editing. Through performing a gene editing on the Ty-5 gene exon region, the homozygous edited plant was obtained, which is a new male sterile germplasm.
