SnapGene is used for simulating assembly. For the second batch of identified promoters, we initially added homologous arms in the opposite direction and made subsequent revisions to the primers. It is worth mentioning that the AtMRP3 promoter was used for both forward and reverse reporter vector construction. GFP and GUS vector maps, using AtMRP3 as an example:
1. Plant DNA extraction
2. PCR amplification
3. Vector preparation
4. Homologous recombinant and clone transformation
5. Colony PCR verification
6. sequencing
7. Agrobacteria Transformation
8. PCR verification
- From 6.13 to 7.3, design the experimental technical route and
implementation plan, learn and explore the experimental
conditions for promoter amplification and vector construction.
- From 7.3 to 7.17, the first round of experimental testing, successfully construct a total
of 3 different recombinant
vectors for 2 promoters: AtRCD1-GUS, AtSRO1-GUS, AtRCD1-GFP.
- From 7.24 to 8.20, the second round of promoter vector construction experiment,
successfully construct a total of 9
different vectors for 7 promoters:
- AtMRP3-GUS, AtMRP3-GFP, NtNRAMP3-GFP.
- PCR2-GUS, Ntccx2-GFP, NtNRAMP2-GFP, NtNRAMP5-GFP, NtNRAMP6-GFP,
PCR2-GFP.
DP1 and DP2 are AtRCD1-GFP carriers, and the stripes are
correct.
DS1 and DS2 construct result graphs for AtRCD1-GUS carriers, and the band situation is
unknown.
OS1 and OS2 build result graphs for AtSRO1-GUS vectors with correct stripes.
We will send the above 6 tubes of bacterial liquid for sequencing, return the sequencing
results.
We get successful
construction of these 3 vectors.
Promoter GUS-PCR2, GFP-Ntccx2, GFP-NtNRAMP2, GFP-NtNRAMP3, GFP-NtNRAMP5, GFP-NtNRAMP6, GFP-PCR2 homologous recombination results The electrophoresis results are shown in the figure up. Each group of bacterial liquids was selected from three tubes for testing. The sequencing results showed that the homologous recombination of the tested bacterial liquids was all successful. The correctly sequenced bacterial liquids were extracted by shaking plasmids .
After seeking help from Teacher Wang Xiaojuan to construct the carrier, we obtained four recombinant carrier experimental materials: NtNRAMP2-GUS, NtNRAMP5-GUS, NtNRAMP6-GUS, and NtCCX2-GUS on August 11th. Combined with the tobacco cadmium response instantaneous transformation experiment we designed earlier, we carried out instantaneous transformation design and verification
Periwinkle Instantaneous Test
Because the tobacco seedlings cultivated in the laboratory are very valuable, we purchased periwinkle seedlings online in advance to ensure that the team members fully mastered the technical essentials of transient transfection, and used periwinkle petals for instantaneous injection. The following are the test results of periwinkle transient transfection
Among them, PBS is a blank control, GUS-Super promoter is a positive
control, and AtRCD1-promoter is one of our test
promoters.
From the results of the petal transient transfection experiment, the blank control was not
stained blue, and the
positive control was stained blue, indicating that the team members successfully injected
the soil pus bacteria solution
containing a strong promoter into the Changchun petals, completing the infection; at the
same time, the blank control
was not stained blue, indicating that there was no obvious pollution in our experimental
operation. The test promoter
AtRCD1-promoter did not show a blue reaction, indicating that the promoter, based on this
transient transfection
exp
ethod, cannot be
expressed in Changchun petals.
Design of tobacco instantaneous experiment scheme
We designed the ideal experiment according to the mind map
However, we did not have enough tobacco seedlings that met the
conditions for instantaneous injection, so we simplified
the experimental plan based on laboratory conditions and finally obtained the following
experimental results:
| groups | NtNRAMP2 | NtNRAMP5 | NtNRAMP6 |
|---|---|---|---|
| clean water | 
|
|
|
| Cadmium (50ng/μL) | 
|
|
|
| blank comparison | 
|
|
|
| positive control | 
|
|
|
| Conclusion | Strong response, strong specificity | Strongly responsive, weakly specific, this promoter may be responsive to drought in addition to cadmium |
Strong response, strong specificity |
Summary: After cadmium treatment, the EGFP reporter gene is expressed albeit weak. Super Promoter represents original unedited EGFP vectors with mannopine synthase promoter which constitutive express EGFP genes. In the second row, it shows after cadmium treatment, the EGFP gene could be spotted near the white arrow while without cadmium treatment, no EGFP signals were detected. Also, we used a UV-flashlight as the light source while taking those photos. Because chlorophyll is auto-fluorescent, the photos of the whole leaves appear to be red.

Declaration of Contributions:pAtPCR2 literature investigation, primer design was done by student member Yuhan Gu (Johnny), Johnny was also responsible for overseeing the functional verification process, summarizing the part pages and pAtPCR-related results. The pAtPCR2-GUS, pAtPCR-GFP vector construction was led by teacher Wanjun Chen, with Qiao Qiao , Youyou Yu, Chenyue Wang, Ao Li, Siyuan Su, Youran Yao contributed to PCR amplification, vector preparation, homologous recombination， E. Coli and Agrobacteria transformation. Instructor Wanjun Chen and Xiaojuan Wang performed pAtPCR2 for both GFP and GUS transient verification, with the student Xinye Jian, and Hongxi Zhang participating in tobacco plant breeding, plasmid extraction, and transient infiltration. All GFP photos were taken by Xinye Jian and Wanjun Chen.
Declaration of Contributions:Vector preparation for luminescent vector construction was performed by instructor Xiaojuan wang in the Shenzhen laboratory, with instructor Wanjun Chen participating in a few plasmid extraction, and PCR verification experiments. Student Xinye Jian prepared the tobacco plant needed to do transient transfection. Student Hongxi Zhang performed the transient infiltration of the engineered Argobacteria. Luminescent plant photos were taken by instructor Lichuan Chen.
