A Virus-Induced Assay for Functional Dissection and Analysis of Monocot and Dicot Flowering Time Genes

Abstract: Virus-induced flowering (VIF) uses virus vectors to express Flowering Locus T (FT) to induce flowering in plants. This approach has recently attracted wide interest for its practical applications in accelerating breeding in crops and woody fruit trees. However, the insight into VIF and its potential as a powerful tool for dissecting florigenic proteins remained to be elucidated. Here, we describe the mechanism and further applications of Potato virus X (PVX)-based VIF in the short-day Nicotiana tabacum cultiva… Show more

“…Transgenic plant-free transient toolboxes such as virus induced gene silencing (VIGS; Lin et al, 2008;Chen et al, 2015), gene complementation (VIGC; Zhou et al, 2012) and flowering (VIF; Li et al, 2011;Qin et al, 2017) have been widely used in plants. To date, a bona fide non-transgenic virus-mediated GE (VmGE) platform has not been established to induce inheritable gene modifications although several RNA/DNA viruses were utilized to express sgRNA for GE in Cas9-transgenic plants (Ali et al, 2015;Yin et al, 2015;Cody et al, 2017).…”

“…In addition, the effect of the overexpressed LFMADS2 , LFMADS4 , and LFMADS6 on the transcript levels of regulatory genes related to the flowering time in tobacco was examined. Relative transcript levels of the flowering-related genes, including NFL2 , NtCO , NtFT1 , NtFT2 , NtFT3 , NtFT4 , NtFUL I , and NtSOC1 [ 73 , 74 , 75 ] were determined by real-time qPCR analyses of WT and transgenic tobaccos. Our real-time qRT-PCR analysis indicated that LFMADS2 , LFMADS4 , and LFMADS6 significantly expressed integrator genes, NtFUL and NtSOC1 , which may affect floral transition causing early flowering in transgenic tobaccos ( Figure 10 and Figure 11 A).…”

“…This vector is infectious on a broad range of Solanaceous plants, was initially developed for VOX (Chapman et al 1992) but has been used widely for virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) (Lu et al 2003;Ruiz et al 1998). PVX-based VOX of FT in tobacco was used in a mutation analysis of FT function (Qin et al 2017) but, previously it had not been tested as system for speed breeding of tomato.…”
