Abstract:

HSP70 (heat shock protein 70) participates in the response to heat stress, and can enhance plant heat tolerance, but there have been no reports of miRNA regulating HSP70 in rapeseed. In this study, a new miRNA, named novel-miR311, was identified in the shoot tip of Brassica napus by high-throughput technology. novel-miR311 was present in Brassica napus but not in Arabidopsis, and 5°-RACE technology confirmed that its two target genes, belonged to heat stress homologous protein gene HSC70-1 (HSP70 family), and could be cleavaged in Brassica napus. An overexpression vector of novel-miR311 was constructed and transformed into Arabidopsis and Brassica napus, and the expression of HSC70-1 in transgenic positive seedlings was decreased significantly. High temperature stress experiments showed that the growth potential and survival rates of Arabidopsis and Brassica napus positive seedlings were lower than those of their corresponding controls. The qPCR results showed that the expression of HSC70-1 gene in rapeseed increased after heat stress than before stress. In conclusion, the results suggest that Bna- novel-miR311 could reduce the heat resistance of Arabidopsis and Brassica napus by mediating cleavaged of HSC70-1.

Key words: Brassica napus, Arabidopsis thaliana, novel-miR311, HSC70-1, high temperature stress
