摘要

Improved amylose?content in maize has been achieved by reducing the starchbranching enzyme (SBE)?activity via transgenic?maize inbred line?transformed by a high-efficient RNAi expression vector, which?may provide the foundation for maize quality improvement. The sense and anti-sense fragments of maize SBE gene?sbe2awere cloned by reverse transcript PCR and high efficient RNAi expression vector was constructed based on plant expression plasmid?pCAMBIA1301. Then the reconstruct was introduced into?maize inbred line Tie7922 by pollen tube pathway transformation. Four transgenic plants were obtained. The integration of interest gene?sbe2a?into maize genome has been confirmed by PCR amplification and Southern hybridization. The?sbe2a?transcription was suppressed obviously by the analyses of RT-PCR, SBE activity and amylase content on the four transgenic plants. The SBE activity was significantly less than that of wild type maize, and was at most reduced by 77.9%; the amylose content was at most increased by 87.8%. In conclusion, RNAi expression vector pRSBE2a containing?sbe2a?gene was successfully constructed. Through genetic transformation, RNAi technique efficiently silences endogenous?sbe2a?gene to reduce the SBE activity, and?high-amylose maize lines?are?obtained.
