摘要

植物成花性型决定过程涉及多种机制, 而单一基因位点控制非完全花(单性花)的发育为葫芦科植物所特有, 其中以黄瓜(Cucumis sativus L.)和甜瓜(C. melo L.)研究最深入。文章利用两对黄瓜近等基因系材料, 结合定量PCR技术, 研究黄瓜单性花决定基因M(CsACS2, GenBank登陆号: FJ529216)的表达情况。利用药剂(AgNO3和艾维激素)处理不同基因型黄瓜材料, 研究在内源乙烯作用被干扰的情况下CsACS2基因的表达变化。结果表明: 内源乙烯可以诱导CsACS2基因的表达。在正常生长条件下, 这种内源乙烯可能来自CsACS1G基因(F基因)或CsACS2基因(M基因)本身, 而后一种情况可能涉及一种正回馈激活机制。

Abstract

Sex determination in plants has various machnisam; however, a single gene locus controlling unisexual expression is unique in the Cucurbitaceae plants, particularly cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and melon (Cucumis melo L.). In this study, with quantitative RT-PCR method, two sets of near-isogenic lines (NILs) were used to analyze the expression pattern of gene CsACS2 (GenBank accession number FJ529216). Additionally, chemical applications (AgNO3 and AVG) were used to investi-gate the effect of the plant endogenous ethylene on CsACS2 expression. Expression analysis reveals that endogenous ethylene, which might be derived from F or M itself, could activate the expression of M gene.
