Abstract:

High yield is an important goal of the maize breeding, grain size is a major determinative factor of high yield. In this study, based on the method of homology cloning, the OsGS5 sequence was used as a template to obtain the ZmGS5 gene. The sequencing result revealed that the full length cDNA of ZmGS5 was 1695bp. The Open Reading Frame (ORF) encoding 496 amino acid was 1491bp. The ZmGS5 protein contained conservative structure domain Peptidase-S10, a signal peptide, an active site of the serine carboxypeptidases, which were all conformed to the structure of serine carboxypeptidase family and also conformed to the OsGS5 related research results. Phosphorylation locus analysis indicated that the protein contained recognition loci of Ser, Thr, Tyr kinases. The result of real-time quantitative PCR showed that ZmGS5 had a much higher expression level in tassel and leaves, and the lower expression level in embryo and endosperm. According to agrobacterium-mediated method, we established genetic transformation system in Arabidopsis and obtained homozygous transgenic lines. The 1000-seed weight of T3 Arabidopsis (0.0169g) was higher than that of wild type (0.0139g).

Key words: ZmGS5, Gene cloning, Serine carboxypeptidases, Molecular characteristics analysis, Genetic transformation
