Results
Construction of level-0 vectors
The DNA elements (golden gate compatible, promoters: PAtUBI5, PLexA35S, P2×35S; CDS of Genes: GFP, SbMYB75, SbDEL, XVE; Terminators: Tmas, Thsp18.2, Tnos, T35S) were synthesized by Gensript based on their sequences and were sub-cloned into pUC57.
Construction of level-1 vectors
The level-0 vectors were then used to construct Level-1 vectors: pEC47732: PAtUBI5-GFP-Tmas, pEC47742: PLexA35S-SbMYB75- Thsp18.2, pEC47751: PLexA35S-SbDEL-Tnos, pEC47761: P2×35S-XVE-T35S, according to the protocol:
| items | volume / μL |
|---|---|
| level-1 empty vector (200 ng/μL) | 1.0 |
| promoter | 1.5 |
| CDS | 1.5 |
| terminator | 1.5 |
| NEB T4 buffer | 1.5 |
| BSA (10×) | 1.5 |
| T4 ligase | 0.5 |
| BsaI | 0.5 |
| ddH2O | 10.0 |
| the whole volume | 20.0 |
The reaction ware incubated in a thermocyler for: 37℃ 3 min, 16 ℃ 4 min， 32 cycles；16℃ 15 min；50℃ 5 min，80℃ 5 min. 10 μl of the liagations were used to transform E. coli. Positive clines were confirmed by sequencing.
Construction of level-2 vectors
Level-2 vectors were constructed based on level-1 vectors:
| items | volume / μL |
|---|---|
| level-2 empty vector (200 ng/μL) | 1.0 |
| L1-P1 | 1.5 |
| L1-P2 | 1.5 |
| L1-P3 | 1.5 |
| L1-P4 | 1.5 |
| ELE-X | 1.5 |
| NEB T4 buffer | 1.5 |
| BSA (10×) | 1.5 |
| T4 ligase (NEB) | 0.5 |
| BsaI | 0.5 |
| ddH2O | 7.5 |
| the whole volume | 20.0 |
The reaction ware incubated in a thermocyler for: 37℃ 3 min, 16 ℃ 4 min, 32 cycles; 16℃ 15 min; 50℃ 5 min, 80℃ 5 min. 10 ul of the liagations were used to transform to E. coli. Positive clines were confirmed by sequencing and PCR.
Nucleic acid gel electrophoresis detection results showed that the level-2 vector IA showed one band and its molecular weight were greater than 8000 bp (Fig 2). Monoclonal transformation in plates were obtained by E. coli transformation (Fig 3).PCR detection results showed that SbMYB and SbDEL were integrated in monoclone IA (BBa_K4399012) (Fig 4).
Agrobacterium Rhizogenes transformation
The constructed vector IA were successfully transferred into Agrobacterium Rhizogenes A4 by electroporation. The positive transformants containing both SbMYB75 and SbDEL were selected and cultured on solid TY medium plates containing antibiotics of spectinomycin and kanamycin (Fig 5).
Explant infection and hairy root emerging induction
Carrot leaves from 4-week-old tissue culture plantlets were used as transformation explants. Carrot leaves were infected by A. Rhizogenes strains containing target genes and co-cultured on the solid MS medium plates containing 50 mM acetosyringone (AS) for 48-72 h at 25°C in the dark and then transferred to MS solid medium containing 400 mg/L cephalexin (cef). 3-5 weeks later after the infection, induced hairy roots emerged from the infection site (Fig 6).
The co-transgenic roots were detected by screening for GFP fluorescence signal.The successful transformants of hairy roots ware marked and transferred on MS plates (without cefotaxime) in dark at 25 °C for further reproduction.
Induction of anthocyanin synthesis
The Carrot hairy roots were cultured in MS liquid medium with 200 mg-L-1 cefotaxime for about 30 days, then 2 μM β-estradiol solution was added in liquid M medium. The results showed that anthocyanin synthesis was successfully induced in the IA hairy roots on the 1st and 5th day, implying that the inducible anthocyanin biosynthesis system was successfully constructed (Fig 7).
