Abstract:Seeking monoclone in established cDNA library randomly for PCR directed with universal M13 primer and sequencing,comparing the sequence in GenBank,designing specific primer according to the sequence,finally we obtained the whole ORF of siCOR.Then plant expression vector pBIN438-siCOR was constructed and NC89 tobacco plants were transformed via Agrobacterium tumefaciens,RT-PCR analysis indicated that siCOR had been integrated into the genome.Homozygous transgenic tobacco plants were used in cold resistance identification.The results show that:(1)The size of siCOR cDNA was 661 bp,the ideutity of amino acid sequence was about 65.04% with Oryza sativa Japonica.(2)siCOR tobacco has deep green leaves,grows faster and has no lateral bud compared with wild type;Under the cold stress,the decrease of relative water content,reduction of relative quantum yield of PSⅡ,the increase of relative conductivity and MDA content of siCOR tobacco are lesser than that of control tobacco evidently.Besides,transgenic plants have slower and lighter symptom.In summary,under the cold stress,siCOR tobacco shows well growth traits and strong cold resistance characteristics.
