摘要：

大豆是典型的短日照作物, 光周期的敏感性严重影响大豆的开花时间和产量, 制约大豆的种植范围, 但调控大豆光周期和生物钟节律的机制尚不十分清楚。在模式植物拟南芥中, ELF3与ELF4、LUX一起, 形成ELF4-ELF3-LUX (Evening Complex, EC)生物钟晚间复合物, 在生物钟节律和开花时间调控等方面发挥重要作用。本研究通过CRISPR/Cas9基因编辑系统获得大豆Gmelf3a/j、Gmelf3b-1和Gmelf3b-2的突变体材料。通过观察Gmelf3a/j、Gmelf3b-1和Gmelf3b-2各突变体材料在短日照和长日照下的开花时间发现, GmELF3b-1在长日照下对大豆开花时间起调控作用; 通过观察非纯合双突变体的表型发现, GmELF3a/J与GmELF3b-1和GmELF3b-2之间在调控大豆开花时间方面存在功能冗余。通过qRT-PCR对大豆生物钟节律相关基因的表达进行检测发现, GmCAB、GmPRR9a和GmPRR7a的表达模式发生改变, 这表明GmELF3a/J、GmELF3b-1和GmELF3b-2可能是通过GmPRR9a和GmPRR7a对大豆生物钟节律和开花时间进行调控。

Abstract:

Soybean is a typical short-day crop. Photoperiod sensitivity seriously affects flowering time, yield, and planting range of soybean, but the mechanism underlying photoperiod and circadian rhythm regulation is still unclear. In Arabidopsis thaliana, ELF3, together with ELF4 and LUX, forms the ELF4-ELF3-LUX complex (Evening Complex, EC), which plays an important role in circadian rhythm and flowering time regulation. In this study, soybean mutants of Gmelf3a/j, Gmelf3b-1, and Gmelf3b-2 were obtained by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system. We found that GmELF3b-1 regulated the flowering time in soybean under long-day conditions by observing flowering phenotypes in these mutants. The phenotypes of heterozygous double mutants revealed that there was functional redundancy among GmELF3a/J, GmELF3b-1, and GmELF3b-2 in regulating flowering time of soybean. Through detecting the expression of circadian related genes in soybean by using qRT-PCR, it was found that the relative expression patterns of GmCAB, GmPRR9a, and GmPRR7a were changed in soybean. In summary, these results suggested that GmELF3a/J, GmELF3b-1, and GmELF3b-2 may regulate the circadian rhythm and flowering time through GmPRR9a and GmPRR7a in soybean.

Key words: photoperiod, circadian clock, flowering time, Evening Complex, ELF3
