During the development of dominant male sterility lines in cabbage, the conventional identification of homozygous male-sterile plants （CDMs399-3/CDMs399-3） is a laborious and time-consuming process. For marker-assisted selection （MAS） of the gene CDMs399-3 transferred into key spring cabbage line 397, expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeats （EST-SSR） and SSR technology were used to identify markers that were linked to CDMs399-3 based on method of bulked segregant analysis （BSA）. By screening a set of 978 EST-SSRs and 395 SSRs, a marker BoE332 linked to the CDMs399-3 at a distance of 3.6 cM in the genetic background of cabbage line 397 were identified. 7 homozygons male-sterile plants in population P1170 with 20 plants were obtained finally via MAS of BoE332. Thus, BoE332 will greatly facilitate the transferring of the gene CDMs399-3 into the key spring cabbage line 397 and improve the application of DGMS in cabbage hybrid breeding.展开更多

Myrosinase(MY) is a key gene responsible for the catalysis of sulforaphane formation, but the molecular mechanisms through which MY regulates sulforaphane biosynthesis in plants remains largely unknown. Here, we discovered that the change of sulforaphane content in broccoli sprouts caused by exogenous selenite treatments is positively related to BoMY expression. BoMY overexpression in the Arabidopsis thaliana tgg1 mutants could dramatically increase myrosinase activity and sulforaphane content in the rosette leaves of 35S::BoMY/tgg1 and rescue its phenotypes.Moreover, an obvious increase of myrosinase activity and sulforaphane content was displayed in transgenic BoMY-overexpressed broccoli lines.In addition, a 2 033 bp promoter fragment of BoMY was isolated. Yeast one-hybrid(Y1H) library screening experiment uncovered that one bHLH transcription factor, BoFAMA, could directly bind to BoMY promoter to activate its expression, which was further evidenced by Y1H assay and dual-luciferase reporter assay. BoFAMA is a selenite-responsive transcription factor that is highly expressed in broccoli leaves;its protein is solely localized to nucleus. Additionally, genetic evidence suggested that the knockdown of FAMA gene in Arabidopsis thaliana could significantly decrease sulforaphane yield by inhibiting the expression of myrosinase genes. Interestingly, exogenous selenite supply could partially restore the low level of sulforaphane content in transgenic Arabidopsis FAMA-silencing plants. Our findings uncover a novel function of FAMAMY module in the regulation of selenite-mediated sulforaphane synthesis and provide a new insights into the molecular mechanism by which selenite regulates the accumulation of sulforaphane in plants.展开更多

Two days later,growth rate,dry weight,fresh weight and relative water content of the plants were determined. After 6h of treatment,the activity and gene expression of three antioxidant enzymes,superoxide dismutase( SOD),catalase( CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase( APX) in plants,were measured. The results showed that the growth rate,dry weight,fresh weight,relative water content,and the activity and gene expression of the three antioxidant enzymes in collard seedlings were higher in the treatment of salt stress with the addition of 0. 05 mmol/L exogenous H_2O_2 than in the simple salt stress treatment; and when endogenous H_2O_2 was removed,the growth rate,dry weight,fresh weight,relative water content,and the activity and gene expression of the three antioxidant enzymes in plant seedlings were lower than those under simple salt stress. It is speculated that under salt stress,H_2O_2 is involved in the regulation of antioxidant defense gene expression,and it might be an important regulator of salt-induced antioxidant system in collard leaves.展开更多

Two days later,growth rate,dry weight,fresh weight and relative water content of the plants were determined. After 6h of treatment,the activity and gene expression of three antioxidant enzymes,superoxide dismutase( SOD),catalase( CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase( APX) in plants,were measured. The results showed that the growth rate,dry weight,fresh weight,relative water content,and the activity and gene expression of the three antioxidant enzymes in collard seedlings were higher in the treatment of salt stress with the addition of 0. 05 mmol/L exogenous H_2O_2 than in the simple salt stress treatment; and when endogenous H_2O_2 was removed,the growth rate,dry weight,fresh weight,relative water content,and the activity and gene expression of the three antioxidant enzymes in plant seedlings were lower than those under simple salt stress. It is speculated that under salt stress,H_2O_2 is involved in the regulation of antioxidant defense gene expression,and it might be an important regulator of salt-induced antioxidant system in collard leaves.
