Abstract

Background: A major allergen Fag t 2 in Tartary buckwheat is abundant in grains and has the potential to improve drought and disease resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana, which led to the hypothesis that the promoter of Fag t 2 had the function of regulating seed-specific expression and responding to stress.

Results: This study successfully cloned the Fag t 2 promoter using genome walking. The functions of the Fag t 2 promoter were investigated through gene gun bombardment, GUS staining and activity detection. The findings revealed that full-length promoter acted as a seed-specific promoter. As seed-specific elements decrease, the seed expression specificity diminishes progressively. The full-length and truncated promoters exhibited differential responses to phytohormone. However, the responsiveness of promoters varied between the protoplast and A. thaliana, suggesting that the regulatory function of the Fag t 2 promoter in stable transformation system is more complicated.

Conclusion: This results of the present study suggest that Fag t 2 promoter has potential as a seed-specific promoter, which can be used to activate the expression of functional genes at specific sites when aiming to improve crop yield and quality. The regulatory function of Fag t 2 promoter in plant stress resistance mediated by Fag t 2 should be explored in greater depth. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.

苦荞（Fagopyrum tataricum）过敏原基因fag2的种子特异性启动子及其对植物激素的反应。

背景：苦荞中的一种主要过敏原Fag t2在籽粒中含量丰富，具有提高拟南芥抗旱性和抗病性的潜力，因此人们假设Fag t2的启动子具有调节种子特异性表达和响应胁迫的功能。结果：本研究利用基因组行走技术成功克隆了fag2启动子。通过基因枪轰击、GUS染色和活性检测对fag2启动子的功能进行了研究。结果表明全长启动子具有种子特异性启动子的作用。随着种子特异性元件的减少，种子表达特异性逐渐降低。全长启动子和截断启动子对植物激素的响应存在差异。然而，启动子的响应性在原生质体和拟蓝藻之间存在差异，表明fag2启动子在稳定转化系统中的调控功能更为复杂。结论：本研究结果提示fag2启动子具有作为种子特异性启动子的潜力，可以激活特定位点功能基因的表达，从而达到提高作物产量和品质的目的。fag2启动子在fag2介导的植物抗逆性中的调控作用有待进一步深入研究。©2025化学工业协会。
