Abstract:

To develop the antisense oligonucleotide inhibition technology in plant materials, we used the known-function-gene NtGNL1 as the target to establish the optimum application system and further analyze the specific role of NtGNL1. Based on the mRNA of target gene, we designed, commercially synthesized and then applied the antisense oligonucleotide sequences into the in vitro cultured ovules, seeds and pollen tubes to inhibit the expression of NtGNL1. The results revealed that the co-culture of antisense oligodeoxynucleotides hardly affected the pattern formation of the embryos, as well as the seeds germination, despite the expression of NtGNL1 decreasing during short periods. Significantly, the antisense oligodeoxynucleotides down-regulated the expression of target gene in the in vitro cultured pollen tubes. Microscopic time laps observation of pollen tubes by FM4-64 staining indicated that the inhibition also changed the vesicles distribution model and the direction of vesicle trafficking. Furthermore, the mRNA expression of five genes related to membrane trafficking was also analyzed by semi-quantitative PCR, showing that three genes were down-regulated after the antisense oligodeoxynucleotides entered into the pollen tubes. All these results implied that the inhibition of NtGNL1 expression will affect several key points of vesicle trafficking in pollen tubes.
