Cell wall invertases(CWINs), which catalyze the irreversibly conversion of sucrose into glucose and fructose in the extracellular space, are key enzymes participating in sucrose allocation in higher plants. Previous studies have shown that CWINs play an essential role in bulblet initiation process in bulbous crops, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here, a CWIN gene of Lilium brownii var. giganteum(Lbg) was identified and amplified from genomic DNA. Quantitative RT-PCR assays revealed that the expression level of LbgCWIN1 was highly upregulated exactly when the endogenous starch degraded in non-sucrose medium during in vitro bulblet initiation in Lbg. Phylogenetic relationship, motif, and domain analysis of LbgCWIN1 protein and CWINs in other plant species showed that all sequences of these CWIN proteins were highly conserved. The promoter sequence of LbgCWIN1 possessed a number of alpha-amylase-, phytohormone-, light-and stress-responsive cis-elements. Meanwhile, β-glucuronidase(GUS) assay showed that the 459 bp upstream fragment from the translational start site displayed maximal promoter activity. These results revealed that LbgCWIN1 might function in the process of in vitro bulblet initiation and be in the response to degradation of endogenous starch.展开更多

The results show that it is feasible to disinfect the bulbs of Lilium brownii with 3% sodium hypoehlorite, moreover, the sodium hypochlorite is very cheap and harmless to researchers, experimental materials and environment. MS + NAA 0.3 mg/L + 6-BA 1.5 mg/L is optimum for the induction of bulbs and, the basal part of Lilium brownie is the optimum explants. After culture for 25 d on the same medium, the tube bulbs could be obtained with the characteristics of high propagation coefficient, strong and new roots. The survival rate is over 90% for transplantation of tube bulbs with diameter between 1-2cm. The method developed in the present study can proliferate abundant Lilium brownii seedling in short time.展开更多
