A novel life cycle arising from leaf segments in plants regenerated from horseradish hairy roots

Summary Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) hairy root clones were established from hairy roots which were transformed with the Ri plasmid in Agrobacterium rhizogenes 15834. The transformed plants, which were regenerated from hairy root clones, had thicker roots with extensive lateral branches and thicker stems, and grew faster compared with non-transformed horseradish plants. Small sections of leaves of the transformed plants generated adventitious roots in phytohormone-free G (modified Gamborg's) medium. Root proliferation was followed by adventitious shoot formation and plant regeneration. Approximately twenty plants were regenerated per square centimeter of leaf. The transformed plants were easily transferable from sterile conditions to soil. When leaf segments of the transformed plants were cultured in a liquid fertilizer under non-sterile conditions, adventitious roots were generated at the cut ends of the leaves. Adventitious shoots were generated at the boundary between the leaf and the adventitious roots and developed into complete plants. This novel life cycle arising from leaf segments is a unique property of the transformed plants derived from hairy root clones.     

Horticultural characterization of<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Angelonia salicariifolia</Emphasis> plants transformed with wild-type strains of<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Agrobacterium rhizogenes</Emphasis>

Genetic transformation was carried out with wild-type strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes for introducing a dwarf trait into the Scrophulariaceous ornamental plant, angelonia (Angelonia salicariifolia). Leaf segments of two angelonia genotypes (Ang.1 and Ang.2) were co-cultivated with mikimopine-type strains of A. rhizogenes. Adventitious roots that showed vigorous growth and increased lateral branching when cultured on half-strength Murashige and Skoog's (MS) basal salts medium lacking plant growth regulators (PGRs) after co-cultivation were selected as putatively transformed lines. All of these selected lines produced mikimopine. Adventitious shoots were efficiently induced from putatively transformed root segments on half-strength MS basal salts medium containing 1 mg l(-1) benzyladenine (BA) under continuous illumination (24-h photoperiod), and the shoots easily rooted following their transfer to half-strength MS basal salts medium lacking PGRs. The transgenic nature of regenerated plants was confirmed by Southern hybridization. Transformed plants frequently died during their acclimatization, and acclimatized plants of eight transformed lines grew very slowly for 1-5 months after transplantation to the greenhouse. Plants of two transformed lines of Ang.2 flowered 4-6 months after transplantation. These transformed plants exhibited phenotypic alterations such as dwarfness and smaller leaves. There were no apparent alterations observed in the number, shape, and size of the flowers. Pollen fertility of the transformed plants was 60-80% based on aceto-carmine staining. These results indicate the possibility of applying A. rhizogenes-mediated transformation for introducing a dwarf trait into angelonia.     

发根农杆菌LBA9402Bin19转化红豆草及再生转基因植株

Hypocotyl segments of Onobrychis viciaefolia were transformed by Agrobacterium rhizogenes LBA9402 which harboured pBin19 and pRi1855. Seedling age and preculture time of hypocotyl segments influenced the transformation frequency. Paper electrophoresis revealed that 70% of single hairy root cultures could synthesize agropine. Calli were induced from hairy root segments on MS medium containing 0-9.05 mumol/L 2,4-D and 0-2.22 mumol/L 6-BA at first, then they were transferred onto MS0 medium without kanamycin for regeneration. Constitution and concentration of phytohormones in callus induction media affected subsequent regeneration of calluses on MS0 medium remarkably. Regeneration frequency and shoot number per callus declined when 2,4-D concentration in callus induction media increased from 4.52 to 9.05 mumol/L, while they ascended when 6-BA in callus induction media increased from 0 to 2.22 mumol/L. On MS medium supplemented with 4.52 mumol/L 2,4-D and 2.22 mumol/L 6-BA, only 14.2% hairy root segments could produce calluses, but the regeneration frequency reached 58.1% and the shoot number per callus was 37.2. In 32 analysed plants regenerated from 8 kanamycin resistant hairy root lines, 25 were nptII positive and showed different copy numbers.     

Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation of scented geranium

A method is described for producing genetically transformed plants from explants of three scentedPelargonium spp. Transgenic hairy root lines were developed fromPelargonium spp leaf explants and microcuttings after inoculation withAgrobacterium rhizogenes strains derived from the agropine A4 strain. Hairy root lines grew prolifically on growth regulator-free medium. Transgenic shoots were regenerated from hairy roots and the plants have been successfully transferred to soil. The phenotype of regenerated plants has been characterized as having abundant root development, more leaves and internodes than the controls, short internodes and highly branched roots and aerial parts. Southern blot analyses have confirmed the transgenic nature of these plants.

Fate of introduced genetic markers in transformed root clones and regenerated plants of monohaploid and diploid potato genotypes

Summary Agrobacterium transformation of stem internodes of four monohaploid (839-79, 849-7, 851-23, 855-1) and two diploid (M9 and HH260) potato genotypes using hairy root-inducing single (LBA 1020, LBA 9365, LBA 9402) and binary (LBA 1060KG) vectors is reported. Various media and successive culture steps were tested for plant regeneration from different transformed root clones. The fate of introduced genetic markers in root clones and regenerated plants (hairy root phenotype, hormone autotrophy, opine production, kanamycin resistance, -glucuronidase activity), the ploidy stability and protoplast yield were analysed. The transformation efficiency of stem internodes (hairy root production) and the regeneration capacity of the transformed root clones greatly differed within and between the various potato genotypes. The regenerated plants obtained after transformation with both types of vectors often showed the absence of one or more genetic markers. However, transformation with the binary Agrobacterium vector generally resulted in the stable presence of the opines in all transformed root clones and most regenerated plants. In HH260, transformation efficiency, plant regeneration of transformed root clones, protoplast yield and ploidy stability were the highest as compared to the other genotypes. The application of these transformed plants as marker lines in gene mapping and gene expression studies is indicated.     

Regeneration of transgenic plants from Cichorium intybus L. var. foliosum Hegi hairy roots

Transgenic plants were regenerated from Cichorium intybus L. hairy roots transformed with genes of tuberculosis antigenes ESAT6 and Ag85B or human interferon alpha2b. The plant regeneration was light-dependent and occurred on the media without growth regulators. The DNA PCR and RT-PCR analyses have shown the presence and expression both selective and target genes in all root lines and regenerated plants.     

Regeneration of transgenic plants of Mexican lime from Agrobacterium rhizogenes-transformed tissues

Transgenic Mexican lime [Citrus aurantifolia (Christm.) Swing] plants were regenerated from tissues transformed by Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4, containing the wild-type plasmid pRiA4 and the binary vector pESC4 with nos-npt II and cab-gus genes. Transgenic shoots were generated by two different approaches. The first approach used internodal stem segments cocultured with A. rhizogenes. These were placed onto regeneration medium containing Murashige and Skoog salts and B5 organic compounds supplemented with 8 g ⋅ l^–1 agar, 7.5 mg ⋅ l^–1 6-benzylaminopurine, 1.0 mg ⋅ l^–1 -naphthaleneacetic acid, 300 mg ⋅ l^–1 cefotaxime and 80 mg ⋅ l^–1 kanamycin as a selective agent, and incubated under continuous light at 25 °C. Under these conditions, 76% of the explants produced shoots directly with no hairy root phase, with a mean of 1.3 shoots per explant, and 88% of these shoots were genetically transformed as determined by β-glucuronidase (GUS) assays. In the second approach, segments of transformed roots (15 mm long) obtained from internodal stem segments cocultured with A. rhizogenes were cultured on the above regeneration medium under similar conditions. Forty-one percent of these transformed root segments produced adventitious shoots, with a mean of 2.2 shoots per explant and with 90% of shoots transformed. GUS activity was evident in the transformed roots and in all parts of both transformed shoots and regenerated plants. The presence of the npt II and rolB genes in the regenerated plants was confirmed by PCR analysis. The presence of the npt II gene in the regenerated plants was also confirmed by Southern blot. Using these transformation systems, more than 300 Mexican lime transgenic plants were obtained, 60 of which were adapted to growing in soil.
