Abstract:

Quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)were used to analyze the expression levels of 26 StIAA genes during potato root development,the results showed that 18 StIAAs were obviously up-regulated between the early period and the mature period of potato development,expression level of other eight StIAAs are not obvious. In addition,artificial microRNA(amiRNA)were used to futher functional study of StIAA22 that is one of the most significant up-regulated StIAAs. Interference vector of pBI121-amiRIAA was constructed,and transferred into the potato genome mediated by Agrobactium tumefacienses to obtain the transgenic plants. The qRT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of StIAA22 was obviously restrained in all transgenic plant lines. Also,the transgenic lines showed a drastic change in root architecture compared with that in control plants by suppressing StIAA22 expression,such as severe reduction in the length of root,an increase in number of lateral roots,and a decrease in biomass of potato roots. The results showed that StIAA22 had a key role in modulating potato root architecture.

Key words: potato, StIAA22, artificial miRNA, gene silencing, root architecture
