Abstract

The goal of this study was to characterize the BrDSR (Drought Stress Resistance in B. rapa) gene and to identify the expression network of drought-inducible genes in Chinese cabbage under drought stress. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation was conducted using a B. rapa inbred line ('CT001') and the pSL100 vector containing the BrDSR full length CDS (438 bp open reading frame). Four transgenic plants were selected by PCR and the expression level of BrDSR was approximately 1.9-3.4-fold greater than that in the wild-type control under drought stress. Phenotypic characteristics showed that BrDSR over-expressing plants were resistant to drought stress and showed normal growth habit. To construct a co-expression network of drought-responsive genes, B. rapa 135K cDNA microarray data was analyzed to identify genes associated with BrDSR. BrDSR was directly linked to DARK INDUCIBLE 2 (DIN2, AT3G60140) and AUTOPHAGY 8H (ATG8H, AT3G06420) previously reported to be leaf senescence and autophagy-related genes in plants. Taken together, the results of this study indicated that BrDSR plays a significant role in enhancement of tolerance to drought conditions.

본 연구의 목적은 BrDSR(Drought Stress Resistance in B. rapa) 유전자의 기능을 명확히 밝히고, 배추에서 건조 스트레스 반응 유전자들을 분석하는데 있다. 내혼계배추('CT001')와 BrDSR 완전장(438bp의 오픈리딩프레임)을 지닌 pSL100 vector를 재료로 아그로박테리아를 이용한 배추 형질전환을 수행하였다. PCR 분석을 통해 4개체의 형질전환체를 확보하였고, 이들의 BrDSR 발현량은 건조 스트레스 조건에서 비형질전환체 대비 약 1.9-3.4배 정도 더 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 표현형 분석에서도 BrDSR이 과발현된 형질전환체들은 건조 스트레스에 저항성을 보이며 정상적인 생장을 하였다. 기 구축된 건조 스트레스 반응 유전자의 상호발현 네트워크를 기반으로 BrDSR과 밀접한 관련이 있는 유전자들을 분석하기 위해 B. rapa 135K cDNA microarray 데이터를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 환경 스트레스와 관련하여 식물체에서 잎의 노화와 자가소화에 관련된 것으로 보고된 'dark inducible 2(DIN2, AT3G60140)'와 'autophagy 8h(ATG8H, AT3G06420)' 유전자가 확인되었다. 위 결과들을 근거로 BrDSR 유전자는 건조 스트레스에 대한 저항성 향상에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 판단되었다.
