【摘要】 通过比对拟南芥等同源基因,克隆了甘蓝型油菜FAD8基因中的保守序列.以得到的FAD8(Fatty Acid Desaturase 8)保守序列片段为信息探针,在GenBank的EST数据库中检索高度同源的EST,并通过人工拼接及RT-PCR得到油菜该基因的全长为1299 bp的cDNA序列,命名为BnFAD8.序列分析结果中发现该基因符合质体定位的ω3脂肪酸脱饱和酶序列特征.通过比较22℃和8℃处理的甘蓝型油菜的BnFAD8基因表达谱,发现该基因在常温下仅存在痕量表达;而在低温条件下在叶中表达出现较大幅度的升高.推测BnFAD8基因和油菜的低温调控存在联系.更多还原

【Abstract】 Brassica napus fatty acid desaturase 8(FAD8) belongs to cold-induced omega 3 fatty acid desaturase. By aligning Arabidopsis FAD8 and other homologous FADS genes,one highly conserved sequence of FAD8 from rape was cloned in study.Using the FAD8 conserved sequence as a querying probe,highly homologous EST were obtained from database of GenBank and a putative complete ORF of 1299 bp(named:BnFAD8) was assembled according to the rape clone.Furthermore,the full length cDNA of Brassica napus FAD8 was cloned by RT-PCR with two primers designed based on this assembled cDNA sequence.Features of plasmid-located u>3 fatty acid desaturase were found in sequence analysis of cDNA cloned.As shown in expression profile result,BnFAD8 was highly expressed in leaves at 8℃,but only trace-level expression in leaves at 22℃,which suggested that BnFAD8 involved in the process of rape cold acclimation.更多还原
