Effects on Fertility in Transgenic Tobacco by Localized Expression of ipt Gene

The isopenteryl transferase (ipt) gene from Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Smith et Townsend) Conn was driven under the tobacco TA29 promoter and introduced into tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) plants by A. tumefaciens mediated transformation. PCR and Southern blot analysis confirmed that the ipt gene has integrated into the genomes of tobacco plants. The expression pattern of this chimeric TA29-ipt gene in the transgenic plants was studied, and the endogenous cytokinin level in different organs was assayed by ELISA method. The results showed that the cytokinin content in the androecium of transgenic plants increased 3-4 times as compared with the control, and some changes of the fertility of the TA29-ipt transgenic plants have been observed.     

Enhancement of the methionine content of seed proteins by the expression of a chimeric gene encoding a methionine-rich protein in transgenic plants

We have constructed a chimeric gene encoding a Brazil nut methionine-rich seed protein which contains 18% methionine. This gene has been transferred to tobacco and expressed in the developing seeds. Tobacco seeds are able to process the methionine-rich protein efficiently from a larger precursor polypeptide of 17 kDa to the 9kDa and 3 kDa subunits of the mature protein, a procedure which involves three proteolytic cleavage steps in the Brazil nut seed. The accumulation of the methionine-rich protein in the seeds of tobacco results in a significant increase (30%) in the levels of the methionine in the seed proteins of the transgenic plants. Our data indicate that the introduction of a chimeric gene encoding a methionine-rich seed protein into crop plants, particularly legumes whose seeds are deficient in the essential sulfur-containing amino acids, represents a feasible method for improving the nutritional quality of seed proteins.     

Anther-specific expression of ipt gene in transgenic tobacco and its effect on plant development

Isopentenyl transferase (ipt) gene from Agrobacterium tumefaciens T-DNA was placed under the control of a TA29 promoter which expresses specifically in anther. The chimeric TA29-ipt gene was transferred to tobacco plants. During flowering, mRNA of the ipt gene in the anthers of the transgenic plants accumulated and the level of iPA + iPs increased 3–4-fold in the leaves, petals, pistils, and stamens compared with those in the wild type plants. This cytokinin increase affected various aspects in development indicating that the alterations of endogenous cytokinin level by using anther-specific expression of the TA29-ipt gene affected morphology, floral organ systems and reproductivity of the transgenic plants.     

6-BA拮抗脱落酸缓解渗透胁迫对种子萌发的抑制

细胞分裂素促进细胞分裂、芽的分化,拮抗脱落酸抑制的种子萌发,而细胞分裂素合成基因Ipt84在种子萌发过程中发挥重要的作用。本文分别用120mmol·L-1 NaCl和240mmol·L-1 甘露醇模拟盐和干旱胁迫处理拟南芥种子,探讨6一BA拮抗ABA对其抑制种子萌发和萌发后生长的影响。结果表明,细胞分裂素合成相关突变体ipt6-1、ipt6-2、ipt8．1和ipt8-2的种子萌发和生长可被NaCl和甘露醇显著抑制;而ABA合成相关突变体aba2-1对相同浓度NaCl和甘露醇的处理表现相对不敏感。进一步研究发现添加外源6一BA可恢复ipt6-1、ipt6-2、ipt8-1和ipt8—2的相关敏感表型,并且随6-BA浓度的增加,恢复效果也愈趋明显。     

Seed-specific expression of a bacterial desensitized aspartate kinase increases the production of seed threonine and methionine in transgenic tobacco

In order to study the regulation of threonine and methionine synthesis in plant seeds, tobacco plants were transformed with a chimeric gene containing the coding DNA sequence of a mutant lysC gene from Escherichia coli fused to a promoter from a phaseolin seed storage protein gene. The bacterial mutant lysC gene codes for aspartate kinase (AK) which is desensitized to feedback inhibition by lysine and threonine. Increased AK activity, compared with control non-transformed plants, was detected in seeds but not in leaves, roots and flowers of the transgenic plants. This expression was accompanied by a significant increase in the levels of free threonine and methionine in the seed. The level of these amino acids also correlated positively with the levels of the bacterial enzyme. No alteration in plant phenotype and 'average seed weight' was observed in any of the transgenic plants, indicating that plant growth and seed development were normal. This study demonstrates, for the first time, that the threonine and methionine biosynthetic pathways are active in plant seeds. Thus, targeting of the production of favorable biosynthetic enzymes to plant seeds may represent a desirable molecular approach for production of crop plants with a more balanced nutritional quality.     

Promoter regions of cysteine endopeptidase genes from legumes confer germination-specific expression in transgenic tobacco seeds

Cysteine endopeptidases, SH-EP from Vigna mungo and EP-C1 from Phaseolus vulgaris, act to degrade seed storage protein during seed germination. Using transgenic tobacco plants, expression of SH-EP and promoter activity of the EP-C1 gene were analyzed in transgenic tobacco plants. The promoters of the two genes in tobacco seeds showed germination-specific activation, although post-translational processing of SH-EP and regulatory regions of promoter of the gene for EP-C1 were found to differ between leguminous seeds and transgenic tobacco seeds.
