摘要: 以茶树(Camellia sinensis)大叶且无蕾不开花的突变体‘大叶龙’及其母株为材料,通过同源克隆结合RACE-PCR方法,克隆了LEAFY(LFY)同源基因的全长cDNA序列,两种序列分别命名为CsLFL1和CsLFL2,其cDNA全长分别为1 448和1 466 bp,各自包含1 191和1 197 bp的完整开放阅读框,编码396和398个氨基酸。它们与漆树科、无患子科以及壳斗目(山毛榉目)一些物种的LFY同源序列具有77% ~ 79%的一致性,具有植物LFY成员作为转录因子的脯氨酸富集区、亮氨酸重复、酸性和碱性结构域以及保守的C–端等典型结构特征。系统发育分析表明,它们属于双子叶植物LEAFY分支,并且亲缘关系最近,说明两者的形成是发生在茶树物种进化过程中较晚期的复制事件。两种序列在正常开花母株及‘大叶龙’中没有区别,在母株花芽中强烈表达,在母株和‘大叶龙’叶芽中有微弱表达。这些结果说明CsLFL1和CsLFL2代表了茶树中LFY的同源基因,并且可能参与茶树的成花启动过程。

Abstract: This study cloned two kinds of full-length cDNA of LEAFY(LFY)homologs from a flowerless mutant with large leaves Camellia sinensis‘Dayelong’and the mother plant by using the homology cloning and RACE-PCR techniques,and the two sequences were designated as CsLFL1 and CsLFL2. They comprise 1 448 bp and 1 466 bp,with intact ORFs of 1 191 bp and 1 197 bp,encoding polypeptides of 396 and 398 amino acid residues,respectively. They present 77%–79% similarities with LFY representatives in species from Anacardiaceae,Sapindaceae and Fagales,and contain such typical structural features as proline-rich region,leucine repeat region,acidic and basic domains,and conserved C-terminus characteristic of LFY members as transcription factors. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that they belong to the LFY clade of dicots,and they are the most closely related,implying that they derived from duplication occurring in later stages during the evolution of C. sinensis. Moreover,there are no difference between the sequences from the normally flowering mother plant and the mutant,whereas they are expressed strongly in floral buds of the mother plant,and also weakly in leaf buds of both the mother plants and the mutant. These results suggest that CsLFL1 and CsLFL2 represent the LFY orthologs fromtea and are likely to function in flower initiation in tea plants.
