烟草花叶病毒外壳蛋白嵌合基因的重组(简报)

烟草花叶病在云南烟区普遍流行。通过ELISA和RNA斑点杂交法,我们已证明云南烟区烟草花叶病毒外壳蛋白和已知RNA序列的普通烟草花叶病毒OM株同源。我们拟根据交叉保护原理,通过植物基因工程手段来培育抗烟草花叶病的烟草新品种。为此,对OM株外壳蛋白基因进行了下述重组工作。 首先,我们对OM株外壳蛋白基因工作,得到C-DNA株pCK501。然后,切取其中带外壳蛋白基因的667bp Hinf Ⅰ片段,导入带花椰菜花叶病毒35S启动子和3′未端质粒pDH51的聚核苷酸接头中,组成带烟草花叶病毒外壳蛋白基因的嵌合基因的重组质粒pCK401。又把整个嵌合基因导入pGV1103 neo,和嵌合的新霉素磷酸转移酶Ⅱ(NPTⅡ)基因及新霉素磷酸转移酶Ⅰ(NPT Ⅰ)基因相连接,组成中间载体pCK403。最后在大肠杆菌GJ23帮助下,把pCK403导入土壤杆菌,和土壤杆菌中原有的去了致瘤基因的Ti载体pGV3850的T-DNA区pBR322片段进行同源重组,把嵌合基因导入Ti质粒的T-DNA区,得到pACK403。

带内含子卡那霉素抗性基因双元载体构建及烟草转化

农杆菌介导法是植物基因转化的常用方法,然而由于筛选培养基中常用的抗生素头孢霉素和羧苄青霉素具有类植物激素活性,影响外植体的再生和转化频率。将一个植物的内含子插入卡那霉素抗性基因编码区的N端,合成了一个带内含子的卡那霉素抗性基因。构建带该基因的植物双元表达栽体pYP1202并转化烟草,受侵外植体在含卡那霉素50～200mg/L的选择培养基中抗性芽分化频率不受卡那霉素浓度影响,然而具有GUS活性的转化子占分化芽的比例却随着卡那霉素浓度的增加而升高。当培养基中加入500mg/L羧苄青霉素后受侵外植体产生的抗性芽频率比单一的卡那霉素筛选提高近1倍,高达91.4％,然而具GUS活性的转化子占抗性芽的比例仅有26.7％,在200m/L的卡那霉素筛选下,比例升至93.3％。用带内含子卡那霉素抗性基因构建的植物表达载体转化植物可以减少假抗性芽的产生。

THE EFFECTS OF INFECTION WITH TOBACCO MOSAIC VIRUS ON THE PHOTOSYNTHESIS OF TOBACCO LEAVES

The rate of photosynthesis of tobacco leaves infected with the Rothamsted type culture of tobacco mosaic virus was lower than that of comparable healthy tobacco leaves. The lower rate was inferred from Net Assimilation Rates of whole plants and confirmed by direct comparisons of photosynthetic rates of inoculated and healthy leaves. The effect began within 1 hr. of inoculation. It was not caused by an effect of the virus on the stomata, and inactivated virus inoculum did not change the rates. The results indicate either a more rapid movement of virus from the epidermis into the chlorenchyma than has been previously recorded or an effect of virus infection at a site distant from the cells containing virus.     

THE INOCULATION OF TOBACCO CALLUS TISSUE WITH TOBACCO MOSAIC VIRUS

Although cultures of normal and conditioned tobacco callus tissue occasionally became infected when dilute solutions of tobacco mosaic virus was poured over them, injuries were usually required, and the number of infections depended on the type and number of injuries. Tissues infected by superficial injuries usually became virus-free after subculturing, whereas those infected by needle-prick remained infected permanently. Although no plasmodesmata were found joining cells in the tissue cultures, tobacco mosaic virus moved between them at a rate of about 1 mm. per week, approximately the same rate as it moves through cells of the leaf parenchyma.     

THE EFFECT OF INFECTION WITH TOBACCO ETCH VIRUS ON THE RATES OF RESPIRATION AND PHOTOSYNTHESIS OF TOBACCO LEAVES

Unlike tobacco mosaic virus, which increases the respiration of tobacco leaves within an hour of their being inoculated, a virulent strain of tobacco etch virus did not change respiration rates until leaves showed external symptoms. The respiration rates of inoculated or systemically infected leaves with symptoms rose to 40% above that of healthy leaves, three times the increase produced by tobacco mosaic virus. The increased respiration rate occurred at all times of the year and was maintained through the life of the leaves.
Leaves infected with tobacco etch virus and showing symptoms had a photo-synthetic rate 20% lower than that of healthy leaves.     

THE RESPIRATION OF TOBACCO LEAVES AFTER SYSTEMIC INFECTION WITH TOBACCO MOSAIC VIRUS

The rate of CO, production per g. dry matter of the younger leaves of tobacco plants systemically infected with tobacco mosaic virus was about 10 yo less than that of comparable healthy leaves. Older infected leaves, showing well-developed mosaic symptoms, had the same respiration rate as comparable healthy leaves. These results were independent of seasonal change in light conditions during the growth of the plants. Older leaves, but not younger leaves, of infected plants had a lower initial water content, and both absorbed less water during the experimental period, than leaves from healthy plants. The effects of TMV infection on water content were so great that the rate of CO, production per g. fresh weight was sometimes significantly increased by infection. This reversal of the apparent effect of infection on respiration rate, depending on the basis of reference may partly account for contradictory results reported previously by other workers. Other causes for contradictory results are discussed.
