Problems solved by technology

But the cost is high, and the racemization of α-tocopherol produced is different from that of natural α-tocopherol, and the activity is also lower than that of natural α-tocopherol

[0025] Cloning of Arabidopsis γ-tmt and vte3 Genes

[0026] 1. Extraction of Arabidopsis Genomic Total RNA

[0027] Take a small amount of young leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Colombian), freeze them quickly with liquid nitrogen, grind them quickly with a mortar, add them to a 1.5mL Eppendorf tube containing 1mL TRIzol Reagents (TRIzol Reagents, GIBCO BRL, USA), and fully After shaking, place at room temperature for 5 minutes, add 200 μL of chloroform, shake vigorously for 15 sec, place at room temperature for 2-3 minutes, then centrifuge at 4°C and 12,000 g for 15 minutes; pipette the supernatant (about 600 μL) into a clean 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube, Add an equal volume of isopropanol, mix by inverting, place at room temperature for 10 minutes, centrifuge at 4°C, 12,000g for 10 minutes; discard the supernatant, add 1mL 75% ethanol to wash, shake, and centrifuge at 4°C, 7,500g for 5 minutes; After drying at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, dissolve in an appropriate a...

[0032] Construction of Plant Binary Expression Vector Containing γ-tmt and vte3 Genes

[0033] 1. Intermediate vector pCAMBIA1304 + build

[0034] Select pBI121 and pCAMBIA1304 as the basic elements to construct the binary plant expression vector pCAMBIA1304 + . Specifically, pBI121 and pCAMBIA1304 were digested with HindIII and EcoRI; the pBI121 expression cassette was recovered, and the large fragment of pCAMBIA1304 was recovered; the two recovered products were connected, transformed into DH5α, screened on a kanamycin LB plate to obtain a single clone, and then extracted the plasmid , enzyme digestion verification (HindIII and EcoRI double enzyme digestion); that is, construct pCAMBIA1304 + .

[0043] Genetic transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens γ-tmt and vte3 genes to obtain transgenic Arabidopsis plants

[0044] 1. Obtaining the engineering bacteria of Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing binary plant expression vector of γ-tmt and vte3 genes

[0045] The plant binary expression vector containing γ-tmt and vte3 genes in Example 2 was transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens (such as GV3101, used in this example was donated by the University of Nottingham, UK), and verified by PCR. The results show that the plant binary expression vector containing γ-tmt and vte3 genes has been successfully constructed into the strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of biology and relates to a method for enhancing the content of vitamin E in plants by the gene cotransformation of gamma-tmt and vte3. The method comprises the following steps of: cloning the genes of the gamma-tmt and the vte3 from the plants, constructing a plant expression vector containing the DNA molecule, mediating by agrobacterium tumefaciens, introducing the genes of the gamma-tmt and the vte3 into the plants simultaneously, regenerating plants, detecting the integration condition of the extraneous target genes of the gamma-tmt and the vte3 by PCR, measuring the content of the vitamin E in the plants by a high-efficiency liquid chromatography-ultraviolet light detector and sieving to obtain a transgenic plant with the enhanced content of the vitamin E. The content of the vitamin E in the leaves of the obtained transgenic plant is obviously enhanced, and the highest content reaches 1.3 times of that of non-conversion check plants. Moreover, the proportion of alpha-tocopherol occupied in the total amount of tocopherol is obviously enhanced and is enhanced from 86% originally to more than 99.5%. The invention has an important meaning for enhancing the nutritive value of the plants.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and relates to a method for increasing the content of vitamin E (tocopherol), in particular to a method for co-transforming double key enzyme genes γ-tmt and vte3 to increase the content of vitamin E in plants. Background technique [0002] The prior art discloses that vitamin E is a lipid vitamin, and its natural products are divided into eight types according to different structures, namely α, β, γ, δ-tocopherol (tocopherol) and α, β, γ, δ - Tocotrienols, of which alpha-tocopherol has the highest biological activity and is considered to be the main active ingredient of vitamin E. [0003] Medical research shows that vitamin E is not only related to the reproductive system, but also closely related to the normal metabolism of the central nervous system, digestive system, cardiovascular system and muscular system (Traber and Sies, 1996). Its functions are reflected in the following aspects: vitamin ...
