Abstract:

In this study, the seeds of two-line hybrid wheat of BS-type BS1453/11GF5135 and its parents BS1453 (female parent) and 11GF5135 (male parent) were used as materials, and the ascorbate peroxidase gene (TaAPX) was obtained by homologous cloning in BS1453/11GF5135. The gene contains an open reading frame (ORF) of 832 bp, which encoded a total of 277 amino acids. The interaction between miRNAs and TaAPX was predicted by bioinformatics analysis, and the results showed that TaAPX may be regulated by miR396 and other miRNAs that related to stress resistance and seed viability. In addition, it was found that APX protein mainly interacted with redox-related enzymes via protein interaction prediction analysis. qPCR and enzyme activity analysis were conducted on embryos of parents and hybrid at different aging time, it was found that the expression trend of TaAPX gene in hybrid and parents were first up-regulated and then down-regulated. However, the expression of TaAPX gene in hybrid seeds peaked on the seventh day, and it began to decline in parents seeds on the fifth day. There was an antagonistic effect between miR396 and TaAPX. With the increase of aging time, the activity of APX enzyme in parents seeds showed a downtrends, while it showed a temporary downtrends on the third day in hybrid seeds, then it increased and began to decline on the ninth day. It was suggested that the ability of APX enzyme to remove peroxides in the hybrid seeds was higher than that in the parents seeds under the aging condition, that is, the anti-aging ability of hybrid was higher than that of the parents. Moreover, the regulation of seed activity by TaAPX gene was a complex multi-factor regulation process. This study laid a foundation for the further research on the molecular regulation mechanism of the seed vigor of BS type hybrid wheat.
