摘要: 微管相关蛋白在植物生长发育过程中发挥重要作用。利用反转录聚合酶链式反应(RT-PCR)和快速扩增cDNA末端(RACE)技术对非洲菊(Gerbera hybrida)体内微管相关蛋白GMAP65-1基因进行了克隆, 获得的基因全长1 883 bp, 包含 1 740 bp的完整开放阅读框(ORF)。表达模式研究表明, 该基因在非洲菊幼嫩的根、叶及花中均有较高的表达, 且受到赤霉素(GA)诱导显著上调。构建GMAP65-1超表达载体, 经异源转化拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)后筛选获得纯合株系, 对纯合株系进行表型观察。结果表明, GMAP65-1超表达植株的叶片及花瓣面积增大, 暗示该基因参与叶片及花瓣的形态建成。研究结果为花卉分子育种提供了理论依据及基因资源。

Abstract: Microtubule-associated proteins play vital roles in plant growth and development. We cloned a full cDNA encoding microtubule-associated protein GMAP65-1 by RT-PCR and RACE techniques and characterized the clone. The complete cDNA (1 883 bp) contains a 1 740-bp open reading frame encoding 579 amino acid residues. The gene expression of GMAP65-1 was higher in young roots, leaves and ray florets. Moreover, its expression was induced by gibberellin. Overexpression of GMAP65-1 in transgenic Arabidopsis enlarged the area of leaf and petal. GMAP65-1 might be involved in leaf and petal morphogenesis. This study contributes to providing the theoretical basis and gene resources for flower molecular breeding of Gerbera.
