Analytical results of the DNA sequence show that a 912 bp complete open reading frame （ORF） encoded a 303-amino acid protein was in the 1205 bp full cDNA sequence. The deduced amino acid sequence of AcXET, which contained the conserved specific EIDFE catalytic site sequence to XETs was homologous to the other known XET proteins. In order to study the gene function of AcXET and obtain transgenic plants, a plant expression vector pBIAcXET was constructed by recombinating the AcXET fragment from the cloning vector pMD19AcXET and the binary vector pBI121 between the XbaI and SmaI sites. The fragment ofAcXET gene was inserted between the CaMV 35S promotor and the coding region of the GUS gene in pBI121. The identification results show that the plant expression binary vector pBIAcXET was constructed successfully. These results lay the foundation for studying the molecular mechanism ofAcXET gene during wood formation.展开更多

This study aims to investigate the adversity stress tolerance functions of Arabidopsis heat shock factor AtHsfAla, which has important significance for in-depth understanding of adversity stress tolerance mechanisms of plants and further utilization of heat shock factor genes. [Method] Genomic DNA of Arabidopsis was extracted with CTAB method and purified to obtain Arabidopsis DNA samples for in vitro site-specific recombination cloning （ Gateway cloning） to construct plant expression vector of heat shock factor AtHs- fAla. Firstly, donor vector pDONR 201/AtHsfAla was constructed based on attB and attP site-specific recombination method （BP reaction）, to identify E. coli transformants harboring correct sequence of AtHsfAla by sequencing; secondly, plant expression vector pBTWG2/AttlsfAla overexpressing Arabidopsis heat shock factor AtHsfAla was constructed based on attL and attR site-specific recombination method （LR reaction）, to screen E. coli transformants harboring target plasmid. [ Result] Plant expression vector of Arabidopsis heat shock factor gene AtHsfAla was constructed successfully. [ Conclusion] This study not only provided experimental materials for acquiring transgenic plants overexpressing heat shock transcription factor AtHsfAla, but also laid the foundation for further investigation of the diversity of adversity stress tolerance functions reanlated by HSFs.展开更多

[Method] zm ERECTA-LIKE1(zm ERL1)gene was obtained using RT-PCR, and physical-chemical properties were analyzed by bioinformatics methods, including domains,transmembrane regions, N-Glycosylation potential sites phosphorylation sites, and etc. [Result] Bioinformatics results showed that zm ERL1 gene was 2 169 bp, which encoded a protein consisting of 722 amino acids, 11 N-glycosylation potential sites and 42 kinase specific phosphorylation sites. According to CDD2.23 and TMHMM Server v. 2.0 software, there were leucine-rich repeats,a PKC domain and a transmembrane region in this protein. The theoretical p I and molecular weight of zm ERL1 encoded protein was 6.20 and 79 184.8 using Compute PI/Mw tool. Furthermore, we constructed the plant expression vector p Cambia3301-zm ERECTA-LIKE1 by subcloning zm ERL1 gene into p Cambia3301 instead of GUS. [Conclusion] The results provide a theoretical basis for the application of zm ERL1 gene in future study.展开更多
