Abstract:

The coding sequence of Cyanobacterium hemoglobin (CHb) gene, from Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, was inserted into vectors pET-30a, pYES2 and pCAMBIA1300. The expression of CHb in E. coli (BL21) and yeast (pep4) could enhance the growth rate of bacteria and yeast. Constitutive CHb over-expression in Brassica napus induced earlier germination of transgenic seeds and increased chlorophyll content in transgenic seedlings. Under submergence conditions, the bioassays revealed that CHb over-expression protected transgenic plants against prolonged waterlogging. These results suggested that CHb gene could promote the growth rate of microbes and Brassica napus, and resistance to submergence for Brassica napus.
