Genetic transformation of golden pothos (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Epipremnum aureum</Emphasis>) mediated by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Agrobacterium tumefaciens</Emphasis>

To establish a procedure for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum) plants, the effects of selection antibiotics and the preculture period of stem explants before A. tumefaciens infection were examined. Explants were co-cultivated with A. tumefaciens EHA105, harboring the plasmid pGWB2/cGUS, on a somatic embryo-inducing medium supplemented with acetosyringone. Resulting transgenic somatic embryos were screened on an antibiotic selection medium, and the transgenic pothos plants were regenerated on a germination medium. Hygromycin was the optimum selection antibiotic tested. The preculture period significantly affected the transformation efficiency, with explants precultured for one-day showing the best efficiency (5–30%). Both transformed hygromycin-resistant embryos and regenerated plants showed β-glucuronidase activity. Southern blot analysis confirmed transgene integration into the pothos genome. This reproducible transformation system for golden pothos may enable the molecular breeding of this very common indoor plant.     

甜菜碱醛脱氢酶(BADH)基因转化小麦及其表达

Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) cDNA cloned from Atriplex hortensis L. in the plasmid pABH9 containing maize ubiquitin promoter and bar gene was transferred into wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by microprojectile bombardment with 4.1% of average frequency of transformation. From 300 young embryo calli bombarded with the plasmid, 24 transgenic plants were obtained showing BADH gene integration by both PCR and Southern blotting analysis. Among the 24 transgenic plants, 13 exhibited higher BADH activity than the control. Some transgenic plants grew normally with healthy roots on the medium containing 0.7% NaCl while the control plants had very poor roots and finally died.

Vitreoscilla hemoglobin overexpression increases submergence tolerance in cabbage

Agrobacterium tumefaciens was used to deliver the vhb gene into cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. Cabitata) cv. Xiaguang's parent line, 103. Using hypocotyls and cotyledon petioles as explants for infection, we obtained a transformation efficiency of 3-5% based on the number of transgenic shoots produced from the number of explants used for infection. Molecular analysis indicated that the vhb gene was stably integrated into the cabbage genome and that the vhb gene was expressed at the RNA level. Characterization of the vhb over-expressing transgenic plants revealed that transgenic seeds germinated faster than the wildtype controls. More importantly, the transgenic plants showed tolerance to a prolonged submergence treatment, suggesting that the vhb gene may provide an excellent tool for creation of submergence/flooding-tolerant cultivars of agriculturally important crops.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Agrobacterium</Emphasis>-mediated transformation system for large-scale producion of transgenic chinese cabbage (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Brassica rapa</Emphasis> L. ssp.<Emphasis Type="Italic">pekinensis</Emphasis>) plants for insertional mutagenesis

In order to better utilize insertional mutagenesis and functional genomics in Chinese cabbage, we have developed an improved transformation system that more efficiently produces a large number of transgenic plants. Hypocotyl explants were inoculated withAgrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404. This strain harbors tagging vector pRCV2, which contains a hygromycin-resistance gene, an ampicillin resistance gene, and a bacterial replication origin within the T-DNA. Transformation efficiency was highest when the explants were first co-cultivated for 3 d in a medium supplemented with 5 mg L^-1 acetosyringone, then transferred to a 0.8% agar selection medium containing 10 mg L^-1 hygro-mycin. In addition, maintaining a low pH in the co-cultivation medium was critical to enhancing transformation frequency. A total of 3369 transgenic plants were obtained, with efficiencies ranging from 2.89% to 5.00%. Southern blot analysis and T, progeny tests from 120 transgenic plants confirmed that the transgenes were stably inherited to the next generation. We also conducted plasmid rescue and inverse PCR with some transformants, based on their phenotype, to demonstrate the applicability of T-DNA tagging in Chinese cabbage. The tagged sequences were then analyzed.     

Plastid-expressed betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase gene in carrot cultured cells, roots, and leaves confers enhanced salt tolerance

Salinity is one of the major factors that limits geographical distribution of plants and adversely affects crop productivity and quality. We report here high-level expression of betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) in cultured cells, roots, and leaves of carrot (Daucus carota) via plastid genetic engineering. Homoplasmic transgenic plants exhibiting high levels of salt tolerance were regenerated from bombarded cell cultures via somatic embryogenesis. Transformation efficiency of carrot somatic embryos was very high, with one transgenic event per approximately seven bombarded plates under optimal conditions. In vitro transgenic carrot cells transformed with the badh transgene were visually green in color when compared to untransformed carrot cells, and this offered a visual selection for transgenic lines. BADH enzyme activity was enhanced 8-fold in transgenic carrot cell cultures, grew 7-fold more, and accumulated 50- to 54-fold more betaine (93-101 micromol g(-1) dry weight of beta-Ala betaine and Gly betaine) than untransformed cells grown in liquid medium containing 100 mm NaCl. Transgenic carrot plants expressing BADH grew in the presence of high concentrations of NaCl (up to 400 mm), the highest level of salt tolerance reported so far among genetically modified crop plants. BADH expression was 74.8% in non-green edible parts (carrots) containing chromoplasts, and 53% in proplastids of cultured cells when compared to chloroplasts (100%) in leaves. Demonstration of plastid transformation via somatic embryogenesis utilizing non-green tissues as recipients of foreign DNA for the first time overcomes two of the major obstacles in extending this technology to important crop plants.
