具有高再生性且对农杆菌敏感玉米自交系的筛选

以70个高代玉米自交系的幼胚为材料在NB培养基上进行离体培养,通过多次继代选择,从中筛选出了胚性愈伤组织诱导率高、克隆能力强的10个自交系,将这10个自交系的一部分胚性愈伤组织用作绿苗再分化,研究其再生能力;另一部分用农杆菌C58和GV3301转化,利用植物载体中携带的gus和g彦报告基因的瞬时表达为指标研究玉米基因型对农杆菌的敏感性。绿苗再分化结果表明,10个自交系都具有绿苗再分化能力,其中自交系6010、6038、6015、6051和6060的绿苗再分化力相对较高,分别为61．11％、31．94％、45％、33．33％和156．94％。gus瞬时表达率方差分析结果表明：玉米基因型对农杆菌C58的敏感性存在极显著差异,在自交系6034、6038的胚性愈伤组织上没有检测到gus瞬时表达,即这两个基因型对农杆菌C58不敏感,不能被其转化;其他7个基因型的平均gus瞬时表达率均大于70％,说明这7个基因型对农杆菌C58敏感。GFP荧光检测结果表明,在自交系6034、6038、6069和6010的胚性愈伤组织上没有检测到gyp瞬时表达,在其他6个自交系上检测到绿色荧光蛋白的表达。因此,认为自交系6015、6051和6060是对农杆菌GV3301敏感且具有高再生能力的玉米转基因受体材料;自交系6051、6010、6015、6060和6050是再生能力强且对农杆菌C58敏感的玉米转基因受体材料。

Sonication,Vacuum Infiltration and Thiol Compounds Enhance the Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation Frequency of Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal

In the present study, we have established a stable transformation protocol via Agrobacterium tumafacines for the pharmaceutically important Withania somnifera. Six day-old nodal explants were used for 3 day co-cultivation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harbouring the vector pCAMIBA2301. Among the different injury treatments, sonication, vacuum infiltration and their combination treatments tested, a vacuum infiltration for 10 min followed by sonication for 10 sec with A. tumefaciens led to a higher transient GUS expression (84% explants expressing GUS at regenerating sites). In order to improve gene integration, thiol compounds were added to co-cultivation medium. A combined treatment of L-Cys at 100 mg/l, STS at 125 mg/l, DTT at 75 mg/l resulted in a higher GUS expression (90%) in the nodal explants. After 3 days of co-cultivation, the explants were subjected to three selection cycles with increasing concentrations of kanamycin [100 to 115 mg/l]. The integration and expression of gusA gene in T0 and T1 transgenic plants were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and Southern blott analysis. These transformed plants (T0 and T1) were fertile and morphologically normal. From the present investigation, we have achieved a higher transformation efficiency of (10%). Withanolides (withanolide A, withanolide B, withanone and withaferin A) contents of transformed plants (T0 and T1) were marginally higher than control plants.     

Transient genetic transformation of embryogenic callus of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cocos nucifera</Emphasis>

Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) is a plant species recalcitrant to in vitro morphogenesis and no protocols for the genetic transformation of coconut tissues have been published. The present study aimed to develop a protocol for genetic transformation of this palm species; evaluating reporter genes, transformation methods, and conditions for the use of antibiotics to select transformed plant cells. The gene gusA was first used for Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation of coconut embryogenic calli. However, endogenous GUS-like activity was found in calli not co-cultured with bacteria. Then essays for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation were developed using green and red fluorescent genes. Both genes are suitable as reporter genes for coconut transformation. In order to establish a protocol for coconut genetic transformation, an approach was used that combined biobalistics to generate micro-wounds in explants, vacuum infiltration and co-culture with Agrobacterium tumefaciens (C58C1 + pER10W-35SRed containing the embryogenesis related gene WUSCHEL). Calli treated with the combined protocol showed red fluorescence with greater intensity and greater area than calli treated with either biobalistics or infiltration, followed by bacteria co-culture. PCR amplification of DNA extracts from transformed embryogenic callus produced a band with the expected size using WUSCHEL primers (862 bp). No band was obtained using the VirE2 primers. This is the first report of transient genetic transformation of C. nucifera and it is the first step toward a protocol that will be useful for the study of the role of genes of interest and for practical applications, such as the improvement of coconut micropropagation via somatic embryogenesis.     

In vitro plant regeneration and genetic transformation of Dichanthium annulatum

Optimization of in vitro plant regeneration and genetic transformation of apomictic species such as Dichanthium annulatum would enable transfer of desirable genes. Seven genotypes of this grass species were screened through mature seed explant for embryogenic callus induction, callus growth and quality (color and texture), and shoot induction. Genotype IG-1999, which produced highly embryogenic, rapidly growing good-quality callus capable of regenerating at a high frequency, was selected for transformation experiments. Using a binary vector (pCAMBIA1305), frequency of GUS expression was compared between two methods of transformation. Bombardment of embryogenic calli with gold particles coated with pCAMBIA1305 at a distance of 11 cm, pressure of 4 bars, and vacuum of 27 Hg passing through 100 muM mesh produced maximum GUS expression (23%). Agrobacterium infection was maximum at an optical density of 2.0 when cocultured under vacuum for 15 min and cocultivated for 3 days at 28 degrees C in constant dark on MS medium of pH 5.8 with 3 mg/l 2,4-D, and 400 muM acetosyringone. Among two binary vectors used for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, pCAMBIA1301 showed higher frequency of GUS expression while pCAMBIA1305 recorded more of the GUS spots per callus. Supplementation of acetosyringone in the cocultivation medium was found indispensable for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Injuring the calli through gold particle bombardment before their cocultivation with Agrobacterium improved the transformation efficiency. Several transgenic plants were developed using the PIG method, while stable GUS-expressing calli were multiplied during selection on MS medium containing 250 mg/l cefotaxime and 50 mg/l hygromycin, incubated in constant dark. A highly significant difference was observed between two methods of transformation for both frequency of GUS expression and GUS spots per callus. PIG-mediated transformation resulted in higher GUS expression compared to the Agrobacterium method. These results demonstrate that Dichanthium annulatum is amenable to Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation using a binary vector.     

Histological and Ultrastructural Observation Reveals Significant Cellular Differences between Agrobacterium Transformed Embryogenic and Non-embryogenic Calli of Cotton

Over the past few decades genetic engineering has been applied to improve cotton breeding. Agrobacterium medicated transformation is nowadays widely used as an efficient approach to introduce exogenous genes into cotton for genetically modified organisms. However, it still needs to be improved for better transformation efficiency and higher embryogenic callus induction ratios. To research further the difference of mechanisms for morphogenesis between embryogenic callus and non-embryogenic callus, we carried out a systematical study on the histological and cellular ultrastructure of Agrobacterium transformed calli. Results showed that the embryogenic callus developed nodule-like structures, which were formed by small, tightly packed, hemispherical cells. The surface of some embryogenic callus was covered with a flbrilar-like structure named extracellular matrix. The cells of embryogenic calli had similar morphological characteristics. Organelles of embryogenic callus cells were located near the nucleus, and chloroplasts degraded to proplastid-like structures with some starch grains, in contrast, the non-embryogenic calli were covered by oval or sphere cells or small clusters of cells. It was observed that cells had vacuolation of cytoplasm and plastids with a well organized endomembrane system. This study aims to understand the mechanisms of embryogenic callus morphogenesis and to improve the efficiency of cotton transformation in future.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Agrobacterium</Emphasis>-mediated transformation of cotton (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Gossypium hirsutum</Emphasis> L.) via vacuum infiltration

AnAgrobacterium-mediated gene transfer system with recovery of putative transformants was developed for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cv. Cocker-312. Two-month-old hypocotyl-derived embryogenic calli were infected through agroinfiltration for 10 min at 27 psi in a suspension ofAgrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101 carrying tDNA with theGUS gene, encoding β-glucuronidase (GUS), and the neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII) gene as a kanamycin-resistant plant-selectable marker. Six days after the histochemicalGUS assay was done, 46.6% and 20%GUS activity was noted with the vacuum-infiltration and commonAgrobacterium-mediated transformation methods, respectively. The transformed embryogenic calli were cultured on selection medium (100 mg/L and 50 mg/L kanamycin for 2 wk and 10 wk, respectively) for 3 mo. The putative transgenic plants were developed via somatic embryogenesis (25 mg/L kanamycin). In 4 independent experiments, up to 28.23% transformation efficiency was achieved. PCR amplification and Southern blot analysis fo the transformants were used to confirm the integration of the transgenes. Thus far, this is the only procedure available for cotton that can successfully be used to generate cotton transformants.
