摘要
Agrobacteria-mediated transformation is widely used in plant genetic engineering to introduce exogenous genes and create mutant lines through random T-DNA insertion and gene disruption. When T-DNA fragments are inserted into the plant genome, it could cause chromosomal abnormalities. In this study, we investigated the genetic basis of pleiotropic phenotypes observed in the T-DNA insertion mutant lnc161. We discovered that there are four T-DNA insertions present in the lnc161 genome, which disrupted the genes LNC161 (AT3G05035), AT3G57400, AT5G05630, and AT5G16450, respectively. However, none of these insertions were the causative mutation that leads to the lnc161 phenotypes. Strikingly, through genetic analyses and high throughput sequencing, we found an inversion of about 19.8 Mb sequences between LNC161 and AT3G57400. Moreover, the sequences between AT5G05630 and AT5G16450 (about 3.7 Mb) were translocated from chromosome 5 to chromosome 3, adjacent to the inversion sequences, and were duplicated. This duplication led to an up-regulation of genes expression in this region, potentially resulting in pleiotropic morphological traits in lnc161. Overall, this study provides a case showing complex chromosomal re-arrangement induced by T-DNA insertion.
