Under the influence of rhizobial signal molecules, the Nod factors, the signal transduction cascade is activated, where the LysM-type receptor kinases and a complex of intracellular regulators, a significant part of which are still unknown, can play an important role. \u0000Using transcriptomic and proteomic analysis, we searched for new regulators of the signal pathway in pea Pisum sativum L., which are activated under the influence of Nod factors. Phospholipases C and D, GTPases, calcium-dependent protein kinases, and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) have been identified among such novel regulators. The influence of one of such regulators, the MAPK6, on the development of symbiosis was studied in more detail. Using genetic engineering approaches, we increased the transcriptional activity of MAPK6 in transgenic roots, which led to an increase in the number of nodules and the biomass of pea plants. A similar effect was also found for the homologous MAPK6 gene in another legume Medicago truncatula, which has a type of nodulation similar to that one in pea. New approaches have been developed to obtain stable pea transformants with enhanced level of MAPK6 transcription using the constitutive p35S promoter. A comprehensive study of such plants inoculated with rhizobia was carried out. In addition, the approaches for genome editing of pea plants have been designed using the CRISPR/Cas system, when the MAPK6 gene was used as a target. Thus, the possibility of using genetic engineering methods to obtain plants with increased symbiosis efficiency was investigated.","PeriodicalId":11431,"journal":{"name":"Ecological genetics","volume":"3 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138603396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four genes were targeted and to ensure efficient editing of all subgenomes, a trio of guide RNAs for each target genes were designed. To enable simultaneous editing of 36 genetic loci at once (three sgRNAs × four genes × three subgenomes), an expression cassette was constructed, assembled as an array of twelve sgRNAs. The polysitron vector was delivered to morphogenic calli using a gene gun [1] together with a vector encoding Cas9 nuclease [2] to induce mutations.

Along with the traditional methods of genetic analysis, plant developmental genetics actively uses the technics of genetic engineering and “omics” technologies. One of the problems of plant developmental genetics is the study of tumor growth in plants as a model for revealing the mechanisms of systemic control of cell division. Tumor is a pathological structure emerging as a result of uncontrolled proliferation of a group of cells leaving the systemic control of growth rate, cell differentiation and proliferation. Therefore, the elucidation of the mechanisms of tumor formation may help to identify the key regulators of systemic mechanisms controlling cell proliferation and differentiation. Tumor-like structures are found in almost all multicellular organisms, including higher plants. Pathogen-induced tumors, which make up the majority of neoplasms in higher plants, develop under the influence of infectious agents (bacteria, viruses, fungi, nematodes, insects, etc.) which create a niche for their own habitation in the host plant’s organism mostly by shifting the phytohormonal balance and sometimes activation of the meristematic competence of plant cells or modulation of plant cell cycle. At the same time, much rarer spontaneous tumors of higher plants are formed in plants with certain genotypes (mutants, interspecific hybrids, inbred lines) in the absence of any pathogen, which makes them closer to animal tumors. In particular, in the genetic collection of radish (Raphanus sativusL.), the inbred lines that form spontaneous tumors on the taproot during the flowering period were obtained many years ago. The connection between the spontaneous tumor formation in these lines and the altered balance of the main phytohormones, as well as ectopic expression of meristem-specific genes, was previously demonstrated. We have analyzed the differential gene expression in the spontaneous tumors of radish versus the lateral roots using the RNA-seq method. Data were obtained indicating the increased expression of genes associated with cell division and growth (especially genes that regulate G2-M transition and cytokinesis) in the spontaneous tumor. Among genes downregulated in tumor tissue, genes participating in the response to stress and wounding, as well as in the biosynthesis of glucosinolates, were enriched. Subsequently, we also performed whole genome sequencing of two closely related radish lines, contrasting in their ability to spontaneous tumor formation. In the coding genes of tumorous line, we have identified numerous SNPs and InDel which lead to frameshift and are probably associated with the tumor formation trait. Thus, spontaneous tumor formation in inbred lines of radish is probably under complex polygenic control. Testing of the relationship of these polymorphisms with tumor formation has begun.","PeriodicalId":11431,"journal":{"name":"Ecological genetics","volume":"21 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138602994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
