摘要: The discovery of co-suppression in plants has greatly boosted the study of gene silencing mechanisms, but its triggering mechanism has remained a mystery. In this study, we explored its possible trigger mechanism by using Fatty acid desaturase 2 (FAD2) and Fatty acid elongase 1 (FAE1) strong co-suppression systems. Analysis of small RNAs in FAD2 co-suppression lines showed that siRNAs distributed throughout the coding region of FAD2 with an accumulated peak. However, mutations of the peak siRNA-matched site and siRNA derived site had not alleviated the co-suppression of its transgenic lines. Synthetic FAD2 (AtFAD2sm), which has synonymous mutations in the entire coding region, failed to trigger any co-suppression. Furthermore, 5 ' and 3 ' portions ofAtFAD2 and AtFAD2sm were swapped to form two hybrid genes, AtFAD2-3sm and AtFAD2-5sm. 80 % and 92 % of their transgenic lines exhibited co-suppression, respectively. Finally, FAE1s with different degrees of the continuous sequence identity compared with AtFAE1 were tested in their Arabidopsis transgenic lines, and the results showed the co-suppression frequency was reduced as their continuous sequence identity stepped down. This work suggests that contiguous identity between the entire coding regions of transgenic and native genes rather than a special region is essential for a strong co-suppression.
