摘要: 类黄酮化合物是烟草香气形成的重要前体物质,其形成需要多个调控基因的参与,查尔酮合成酶基因(CHS)是类黄酮物质合成途径中的关键基因,它的突变或沉默可能影响香气物质的形成。为了探讨CHS基因的下调表达对烟草香气的影响以及为选育优良的高香气品种提供技术,采用GATEWAY技术经BP反应和LR反应将CHS基因片段重组到表达载体pH7GWIWG2(I)上,成功构建了具有反向重复序列的CHS基因的RNAi表达载体,并通过农杆菌介导法转染烟草‘大白筋599’,以期为研究CHS基因在烟叶香气物质方面的作用奠定基础。经过鉴定,获得24株阳性转基因‘大白筋599’。Abstract: Flavonoid are important aroma precursors, which are controlled by many regulatory genes. Chalcone synthase gene (CHS), as one of the key gene of the flavonoid pathway, plays an important role in the synthesis of aroma precursors. The function missing or mutation of the CHS would affect the aroma formation. To explore the effects of CHS down regulatory expression and to provide technical information for breeding high aroma tobacco, we constructed the RNAi expression vectors by Gateway technology. Then the vectors were transformed into the ‘Dabaijin599’ by Agrobacterium-mediated method to form basis for further study in the aroma of CHS gene. Thirty of tobacco plants were obtained and 24 of them were identified as transgenic plants.
