在常用的植物组成型表达载体pBI121的选择标记基因NPTII两侧插入同向的lox位点并用多克隆位点(MCS)取代了GUS基因序列,构建了NPTII基因可被去除的和可插入目的基因的通用植物表达载体pBI121-lox-MCS。替换pBI121-lox-MCS中驱动目的基因表达的35S启动子,可构建成一系列具有其他表达特性的植物表达载体,如本文描述的韧皮部特异表达载体pBdENP-lox-MCS。为方便地筛选去除选择标记基因的转基因植物,还构建了绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)表达框与NPTII表达框连锁的pBI121-gfp-lox-MCS载体。上述植物表达载体可广泛应用于培育选择标记可去除的转基因植物。 相似文献

Targeted transgene integration in plants remains a significant technical challenge for both basic and applied research. Here
it is reported that designed zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) can drive site-directed DNA integration into transgenic and native
gene loci. A dimer of designed 4-finger ZFNs enabled intra-chromosomal reconstitution of a disabled gfp reporter gene and site-specific transgene integration into chromosomal reporter loci following co-transformation of tobacco
cell cultures with a donor construct comprised of sequences necessary to complement a non-functional pat herbicide resistance gene. In addition, a yeast-based assay was used to identify ZFNs capable of cleaving a native endochitinase
gene. Agrobacterium delivery of a Ti plasmid harboring both the ZFNs and a donor DNA construct comprising a pat herbicide resistance gene cassette flanked by short stretches of homology to the endochitinase locus yielded up to 10% targeted,
homology-directed transgene integration precisely into the ZFN cleavage site. Given that ZFNs can be designed to recognize
a wide range of target sequences, these data point toward a novel approach for targeted gene addition, replacement and trait
stacking in plants. 相似文献

Matrix-associated regions may be useful for studying the role of chromatin architecture in transgene activity of transformed plants. The chicken lysozyme A element was shown to have specific affinity for tobacco nuclear matrices, and its influence on the variability of transgene expression in tobacco plants was studied. T-DNA constructs in which this element flanked either the [beta]-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene or both reporter and selection gene were introduced in tobacco. The variation in GUS gene activity was reduced significantly among mature first-generation transgenic plants carrying the A element. Average GUS activity became somewhat higher, but the maximum attainable level of gene expression was similar for all three constructs. Transient gene expression assays showed that the A element did not contain general enhancer functions; therefore, its presence seemed to prevent the lower levels of transgene expression. The strongest reduction in variability was found in plants transformed with the construct carrying the A elements at the borders of the T-DNA. In this population, expression levels became copy number dependent. The presence of two A elements in the T-DNA did not interfere with meiosis. 相似文献

用绿色荧光蛋白监测转基因植物中选择标记基因的消除 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)可直接进行活体观察,它的这个优点可被用于监测转基因植物中选择标记基因的消除。为此,构建了植物表达载体pGNG,将绿色荧光蛋白基因(gfp)和卡那霉素抗性基因表达盒(NosP-nptll-NosT)一起克隆在两个同向的lox位点间,在第一个lox位点上游置有CaMV 35S启动子以驱动GFP表达,第二个lox位点下游置有不含启动子的大肠杆菌β-葡萄糖醛酸酶(GUS)基因。首先在含卡那霉素(Kan)的培养基上筛选出转pGNG的烟草,借助绿色荧光可容易地检出表达GFP的转化体。然后用另一转化载体pCambia1300Cre二次转化表达GFP的转基因植物,利用另一选择标记基因潮霉素抗性基因(hpt)进行筛选,在获得的再生植株中,Cre重组酶的表达消除了转化体中两lox位点间的gfp和nptll。实验结果表明可借助GFP荧光的消失,快速选出nptII被消除的二次转化体,同时GUS(作为目的蛋白) 在CaMV 35S启动子驱动下获得表达。最后利用后代的分离将hpt和cre除去。 相似文献

Excision of selectable marker gene from transgenic tobacco using the GM-gene-deletor system regulated by a heat-inducible promoter 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To excise a selectable marker gene from transgenic plants, a new binary expression vector based on the 'genetically modified (GM)-gene-deletor' system was constructed. In this vector, the gene coding for FLP site-specific recombinase under the control of a heat shock-inducible promoter HSP18.2 from Arabidopsis thaliana and isopentenyltransferase gene (ipt), as a selectable marker gene under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S (CaMV 35S) promoter, were flanked by two loxP/FRT fusion sequences as recombination sites in direct orientation. Histochemical staining for GUS activity showed that, upon induction by heat shock, all exogenous DNA, including the selectable marker gene ipt, beta-glucuronidase (gusA) gene and the FLP recombinase gene, between two loxP/FRT sites was eliminated efficiently from primary transgenic tobacco plants. Molecular analysis further confirmed that excision of the marker gene (ipt) was heritable and stable. Our approach provides a reliable strategy for auto-excising a selectable marker gene from calli, shoots or other tissues of transgenic plants after transformation and producing marker-free transgenic plants. 相似文献

Comparison of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of four barley cultivars using the GFP and GUS reporter genes 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Experiments were conducted to produce transgenic barley plants following infection of immature embryos with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Transformed callus was obtained using hygromycin resistance as a selectable marker and either green fluorescent protein (GFP) or -glucuronidase (GUS) as a reporter. Significantly reduced plant transformation frequencies were obtained with the GFP gene compared to GUS. However, GFP proved to be an excellent reporter of early transformation events and was used to compare four barley cultivars for efficiency in two phases of transformation: the generation of stably transformed barley callus and the regeneration of plantlets from transformed callus. Transformed callus was generated at a high frequency (47–76%) in all four cultivars. Regeneration of transformed plantlets was also achieved for all four cultivars although the frequency was much higher for Golden Promise than for the other three genotypes, reiterating that genotype is an important determinant in the regenerative ability of barley. This study has demonstrated for the first time that Agrobacterium-mediated transformation can be used to transform the Australian cultivars Sloop and Chebec.Communicated by W. Harwood 相似文献

Wheat germin is a homopentameric 125 kD glycoprotein mainly localized in the cell wall of monocots, and is a specific marker
of the onset of growth in germinating seeds. The major objective of this study was to examine the expression and oxalate oxidase
activity of two wheat germin isoforms: gf-2.8 and gf-3.8 in transgenic tobacco plants. The transgenic tobacco plants were
created with different constructs: 1) one entire excision of gf-2.8 germin promoter and two partially deleted promoter sequences
were used to generate 3 independent GUS constructs; 2) the whole gf-2.8 gene construct and the fusion with CaMV 35S promoter;
3) one entire excision of gf-3.8 germin gene and one partially deleted gf-3.8 promoter sequences were used to generate 2 independent
GUS constructs; 4) the whole gf-3.8 gene and the fusion with CaMV 35S promoter. Hormonal treatment (auxin and gibberellin),
salt treatment, heavy metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, As) and Al induced high GUS activity in tobacco transformed
with entire and one partially deleted of the gf-2.8 gene. The immunoblotting confirmed induction of gf-2.8 gene and its product
expressed oxalate oxidase activity in tobacco transformed with the entire gf-2.8 construct. Neither nicotinic acid, salicylic
acid, heat shock, cold nor UV-C have enhanced significant GUS activity and germin gf-2.8 synhesis and activity.
The germin gf-3.8 constructs with GUS gene and with the entire gf-3.8 sequences gave non-positive response with factors mentioned
above. It has been demonstrated that gf-3.8 germin isoform is present as a monomer (Mr 25 kD). The non-active gf-3.8 protein is synthetised in transgenic tobacco plants only under control of the CaMV 35S promoter.
Consequently, among two germin isoforms, only the gf-2.8 protein seems to be regulated by hormonal, salt and heavy metal factors.
The gf-2.8 oxalate oxidase activity could be then involved in general stress-induced signalling in plant. 相似文献

Co-transformation using a negative selectable marker gene for the production of selectable marker gene-free transgenic plants 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Park J Lee YK Kang BK Chung WI 《TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik》2004,109(8):1562-1567
A negative selectable marker gene, codA, was successfully co-transformed with a GUS reporter gene to develop selectable marker gene-free transgenic plants. The pNC binary vector contained a T-DNA harboring the codA gene next to the nptII gene, while a second binary vector, pHG, contained a GUS reporter gene. Tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun NN) were co-transformed via the mixture method with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 strains harboring pNC and pHG, respectively. Seeds harvested from the co-transformants were sown on germination media containing 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC). Analysis of the progeny by GUS staining and PCR amplification revealed that all of the 5-FC-resistant R1 plants were codA free, and that the codA gene segregated independently of the GUS gene. Because codA-free seedlings developed normally on 5-FC-containing medium, we suggest that co-transformation with negatively selectable markers is a viable method for the production of easily distinguished, selectable marker gene-free transgenic plants. 相似文献

Effect of nuclear matrix attachment regions on transgene expression in tobacco plants 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Matrix attachment regions (MARs) are thought to participate in the organization and segregation of independent chromosomal loop domains. Although there are several reports on the action of natural MARs in the context of heterologous genes in transgenic plants, in our study we tested a synthetic MAR (sMAR) with the special property of unpairing when under superhelical strain, for its effect on reporter gene expression in tobacco plants. The synthetic MAR was a multimer of a short sequence from the MAR 3' end of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) enhancer. This sMAR sequence was used to flank the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene within the T-DNA of the binary vector pBI121. Vectors with or without the sMARs were then used to transform tobacco plants by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Transgenic plants containing the sMAR sequences flanking the GUS gene exhibited higher levels of transgene expression compared with transgenic plants which lacked the sMARs. This effect was observed independently of the position of the sMAR at the 5' side of the reporter gene. However, variation of the detected transgene expression was significant in all transformed plant populations, irrespective of the construct used. 相似文献

Two plasmids, p13GUS and p13GUS2, were constructed to create a gene trap system containing the promoterless β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene in the T-DNA region. Transformation of these two plasmids into the rice variety Zhonghua 11 (Oryza sativa ssp. japonica cv.), mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, resulted in 942 independent transgenic lines. Histochemical GUS assays revealed that 31 To plants had various patterns of the reporter gene expression, including expression in only one tissue, and simultaneously in two or more tissues. Hygromycin-resistant (hygr) homozygotes were screened and the copy number of the T-DNA inserts was determined in the GUS-positivs transgenic plants. The flanking sequences of the T-DNA were isolated by inverse-polymerase chain reaction and the insert positions on the rice genome of T-DNA were determined by a basic local alignment search tool in the GUS-positive transgenic plants transformed with plasmid p13GUS. Moreover, calii induced from the seeds of the T1 generation of 911 GUS-negative transgenic lines were subjected to stress and hormone treatments. Histochemical GUS assays were carried out on the calli before and after treatment. The results revealed that calli from 21 lines displayed differential GUS expression after treatment. All of these data demonstrated that this trap system is suitable for identifying rice genes, including those that
are sensitive to induction. 相似文献

In recent years, RNA interference has been exploited as a tool for investigating gene function in plants. We tested the potential of double-stranded RNA interference technology for silencing a transgene in the actinorhizal tree Allocasuarina verticillata. The approach was undertaken using stably transformed shoots expressing the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene under the control of the constitutive promoter 35S; the shoots were further transformed with the Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4RS containing hairpin RNA (hpRNA) directed toward the GUS gene, and driven by the 35S promoter. The silencing and control vectors contained the reporter gene of the green fluorescent protein (GFP), thus allowing a screening of GUS-silenced composite plantlets for autofluorescence. With this rapid procedure, histochemical data established that the reporter gene was strongly silenced in both fluorescent roots and actinorhizal nodules. Fluorometric data further established that the level of GUS silencing was usually greater than 90% in the hairy roots containing the hairpin GUS sequences. We found that the silencing process of the reporter gene did not spread to the aerial part of the composite A. verticillata plants. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed that GUS mRNAs were substantially reduced in roots and, thereby, confirmed the knock-down of the GUS transgene in the GFP(+) hairy roots. The approach described here will provide a versatile tool for the rapid assessment of symbiotically related host genes in actinorhizal plants of the Casuarinaceae family. 相似文献

A high‐throughput transformation system previously developed in our laboratory was used for the regeneration of transgenic plum plants without the use of antibiotic selection. The system was first tested with two experimental constructs, pGA482GGi and pCAMBIAgfp94(35S) that contain selective marker and reporter genes. Transformation was monitored by GUS detection, and estimated transformation efficiencies were 5.7% and 17.7% for pGA482GGi and pCAMBIAgfp94(35S), respectively. Subsequently, an intron‐hairpin‐RNA (ihpRNA) construct, carrying the Plum Pox Virus coat protein (ppv‐cp) gene, without selectable or reporter marker genes was designed. Five transgenic lines were regenerated as confirmed by DNA blot analysis. We believe that this is the first report on the production of marker‐free plants transformed with a potential agronomically important trait in a Prunus species. 相似文献

Modern agriculture demands crops carrying multiple traits. The current paradigm of randomly integrating and sorting independently segregating transgenes creates severe downstream breeding challenges. A versatile, generally applicable solution is hereby provided: the combination of high‐efficiency targeted genome editing driven by engineered zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) with modular ‘trait landing pads’ (TLPs) that allow ‘mix‐and‐match’, on‐demand transgene integration and trait stacking in crop plants. We illustrate the utility of nuclease‐driven TLP technology by applying it to the stacking of herbicide resistance traits. We first integrated into the maize genome an herbicide resistance gene, pat, flanked with a TLP (ZFN target sites and sequences homologous to incoming DNA) using WHISKERS?‐mediated transformation of embryogenic suspension cultures. We established a method for targeted transgene integration based on microparticle bombardment of immature embryos and used it to deliver a second trait precisely into the TLP via cotransformation with a donor DNA containing a second herbicide resistance gene, aad1, flanked by sequences homologous to the integrated TLP along with a corresponding ZFN expression construct. Remarkably, up to 5% of the embryo‐derived transgenic events integrated the aad1 transgene precisely at the TLP, that is, directly adjacent to the pat transgene. Importantly and consistent with the juxtaposition achieved via nuclease‐driven TLP technology, both herbicide resistance traits cosegregated in subsequent generations, thereby demonstrating linkage of the two independently transformed transgenes. Because ZFN‐mediated targeted transgene integration is becoming applicable across an increasing number of crop species, this work exemplifies a simple, facile and rapid approach to trait stacking. 相似文献

Summary The stability of foreign protein production in genetically engineered plant cells was studied. A cultured tobacco cell line was transformed with a chimeric molecule carrying a bacterial gene, ß-glucuronidase (GUS), under plant regulatory sequences. The specific GUS activity was monitored for 294 days with ten independently transformed cell lines either in the presence or the absence of selectable antibiotics. Specific GUS activity was stably maintained in five lines. About a two-to four-fold increase in the GUS activity was observed from three cell lines. The remaining two cell lines lost the activity within the first 70 to 210 days. The presence of antibiotics did not significantly alter the stability of the foreign protein production in all cell lines examined. 相似文献

A reliable method of plant regeneration has been achieved from decapitated mature embryo axes (DCMEA) explants. Shoots appear
directly from explants of genotype T-15-15 when cultured on Maheswaran and Williams (EC6) basal medium supplemented with N6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) at various combinations. The shoots elongated on half strength Murashige
and Skoog (MS) medium fortified with 3 μM gibberellic acid. Elongated shoots were rooted with 80 – 85 % efficiency on half
strength MS medium with 0.5 μM indole-3-butyric acid. Survival of plants in the pots was 75 – 80 %. This protocol was used
in Agrobacterium mediated transformation. The DCMEA explants were treated independently with two A. tumefaciens (LBA 4404) strains harbouring a binary vector carrying the green fluorescent protein (GFP) and β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter
genes, respectively. Both the strains contained neomycin phosphotransferase selectable marker gene. After co-cultivation,
the explants were cultured on EC6 basal medium supplemented with 5 μM BAP and 1 μM IAA. The selection of putative transformants was on a medium containing
50 mg dm−3 kanamycin. Expression of GUS and GFP gene was confirmed by histochemical assay and fluorescence microscopy, respectively.
The elongated shoots expressing GFP reporter gene were rooted and transferred to pots for hardening. The integration of GFP
gene into the genome of putative transformants was confirmed by Southern blotting.
