Functional properties of flours from field grown transgenic wheat lines expressing the HMW glutenin subunit 1Ax1 and 1Dx5 genes

The high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) of wheat are major determinants of the viscoelastic properties of gluten and dough. The bread making quality of field grown transgenic lines of bread wheat expressing the HMW-GS 1Ax1 or 1Dx5 genes were evaluated over a two year period. Subunit 1Ax1 represented about 29% and 48% of the total HMW-GS in lines 1-2 and 2-2, respectively, while subunit 1Dx5 represented 65.4% and 62% of the total HMW-GS in transgenic lines 6-2 and 9, respectively. The expression of subunits 1Ax1 or 1Dx5 in transgenic wheat led to corresponding decreases in the proportions of endogenous HMW-GS. HMW-GS 1Ax1 and 1Dx5 had contrasting effects on dough quality determined by the Alveograph and sedimentation test. Subunit 1Ax1 increased the tenacity (P), extensibility (L), deformation work (W), and sedimentation value, with the increase being related to the level of expression. In contrast, subunit 1Dx5 led to a smaller increment in the tenacity (P), but to drastic decrease in both extensibility (L), deformation work (W), and the sedimentation value. Expression of subunit 1Ax1 in transgenic wheat resulted in lines with improved rheological properties whereas the lines expressing subunit 1Dx5 resulted in unsuitable breadmaking-related characteristics.

Molecular characterization of HMW-GS 1Dx3(t) and 1Dx4(t) genes from Aegilops tauschii and their potential value for wheat quality improvement

Two x-type high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) in Aegilops tauschii, 1Dx3(t) and 1Dx4(t) were identified by SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF-MS. Their complete coding sequences were isolated by AS-PCR. 1Dx3(t) and 1Dx4(t) genes consist of 2535 bp and 2508 bp and encode 845 and 836 amino acid residues, respectively. The deduced molecular masses of 1Dx3(t) and 1Dx4(t) gene products are 87655.26 Da and 86664.24 Da, respectively, well corresponding to the molecular masses measured by MALDI-TOF-MS. A total of 18 SNPs were identified between 1Dx3(t) and 1Dx4(t). Comparing with 1Dx5 subunit, 1Dx3(t) had a six amino acid insertion at 146-151 while the 1Dx4(t) had a nine amino acid deletion when compared with 1Dx3(t) subunit. The authenticity of the cloned 1Dx3(t) and 1Dx4(t) genes were confirmed by successful expression of their ORFs in E. coli. Comparison and phylogenetic tree based on the amino acid and nucleotide sequences confirmed that 1Dx3(t) was most closely related to 1Dx5 subunit that is widely accepted as a superior subunit for bread-making property. The secondary structure prediction demonstrated that 1Dx3(t) subunit has significantly high α-helix and β-strand contents, suggesting it might have positive effects on dough quality.

Stable expression of <Emphasis Type="Italic">1Dx5</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">1Dy10</Emphasis> high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit genes in transgenic rye drastically increases the polymeric glutelin fraction in rye flour

We generated and characterized transgenic rye synthesizing substantial amounts of high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) from wheat. The unique bread-making characteristic of wheat flour is closely related to the elasticity and extensibility of the gluten proteins stored in the starchy endosperm, particularly the HMW-GS. Rye flour has poor bread-making quality, despite the extensive sequence and structure similarities of wheat and rye HMW-GS. The HMW-GS 1Dx5 and 1Dy10 genes from wheat, known to be associated with good bread-making quality were introduced into a homozygous rye inbred line by the biolistic gene transfer. The transgenic plants, regenerated from immature embryo derived callus cultures were normal, fertile, and transmitted the transgenes stably to the sexual progeny, as shown by Southern blot and SDS-PAGE analysis. Flour proteins were extracted by means of a modified Osborne fractionation from wildtype (L22) as well as transgenic rye expressing 1Dy10 (L26) or 1Dx5 and 1Dy10 (L8) and were quantified by RP-HPLC and GP-HPLC. The amount of transgenic HMW-GS in homozygous rye seeds represented 5.1% (L26) or 16.3% (L8) of the total extracted protein and 17% (L26) or 29% (L8) of the extracted glutelin fraction. The amount of polymerized glutelins was significantly increased in transgenic rye (L26) and more than tripled in transgenic rye (L8) compared to wildtype (L22). Gel permeation HPLC of the un-polymerized fractions revealed that the transgenic rye flours contained a significantly lower proportion of alcohol-soluble oligomeric proteins compared with the non-transgenic flour. The quantitative data indicate that the expression of wheat HMW-GS in rye leads to a high degree of polymerization of transgenic and native storage proteins, probably by formation of intermolecular disulfide bonds. Even -40k secalins, which occur in non-transgenic rye as monomers, are incorporated into these polymeric structures. The combination 1Dx5 + 1Dy10 showed stronger effects than 1Dy10 alone. Our results are the first example of genetic engineering to significantly alter the polymerization and composition of storage proteins in rye. This may be an important step towards improving bread-making properties of rye whilst conserving its superior stress resistance.     

Marker assisted detection of gene (1Dx5) and translocation (1B/1R) in wheat genotypes

Detection of 1Dx5 gene and presence of 1B/1R wheat rye translocation were studied in nineteen elite Indian wheat genotypes using AS-PCR and STS markers, respectively. Fifteen genotypes had 1B/1R translocation whereas ten showed presence of 1Dx5 gene. More than 50 per cent of the genotypes tested were found positive for both 1Dx5 and 1B/1R translocation. The results are in conformity with HMW glutenin SDS-PAGE profile for 1Dx5 and cytological observations for 1B/1R translocation.

Quality of synthetic hexaploid wheat containing null alleles at Glu-A1 and Glu-B1 loci

Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccon PI94668 and PI349045 were identified as containing null alleles at Glu-A1 and Glu-B1 loci in previous investigation. Sequencing of the respective HMW-GS genes Ax, Bx, Ay and By in both accessions indicated equal DNA lengths with gene silencing caused by 1 to 4 in-frame stop codon(s) in the open reading frames. Six synthetic hexaploid wheat lines were produced by crossing PI94668 or PI349045 with six Aegilops tauschii by spontaneous chromosome doubling of unreduced gametes. As expected, these amphiploids had three different HMW-GS: Dx 3.1^t?+?Dy11*^t, Dx2.1^t?+?10^t and Dx2^t?+?Dy12^t in Glu-D1 but double nulls in Glu-A1 and Glu-B1. Quality tests showed that most quality parameters in two T. turgidum ssp. dicoccon parents were very low due to the lack of HMW-GSs. However, incorporation of HMW-GS from Ae. tauschii in six synthetic hexaploid wheat lines significantly increased most quality related parameters. The potential values of these wheat lines in improving the quality of wheat are discussed.     

Development of a Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay for Porcine Circovirus Type 2

In this study, the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method was used to develop a rapid and simple detection system for porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2). According to the PCV2 sequences published in GenBank, multiple LAMP primers were designed targeting conserved sequences of PCV2.

Detection of HbsAg and hATIII genetically modified goats (Caprahircus) by loop-mediated isothermal amplification

In this study, sensitive and rapid detection systems were designed using a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method to detect the genetically modified goats. A set of 4 primers were designed for each exogenous nucleic acids HBsAg and hATIII. The DNA samples were first amplified with the outer and inner primers and released a single-stranded DNA,of which both ends were stem-loop structure. Then one inner primer hybridized with the loop, and initiated displacement synthesis in less than 1 h. The result could be visualized by both agarose gel electrophoresis and unaided eyes directly after adding SYBR GREEN 1. The detection limit of LAMP was ten copies of target molecules, indicating that LAMP was tenfold more sensitive than the classical PCR. Furthermore, all the samples of genetically modified goats were tested positively by LAMP, and the results demonstrated that the LAMP was a rapid and sensitive method for detecting the genetically modified organism.     

Molecular cloning and comparative analysis of a y-type inactive HMW glutenin subunit gene from cultivated emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccum L.)

Cultivated emmer (Triticum dicoccum, 2n = 4x = 28, AABB) is closely related to bread wheat and possesses extensive allelic variations in high molecular weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS) composition. These alleles may be an important genetic resource for wheat quality improvement. To isolate and clone HMW-GS genes from cultivated emmer, two pairs of allele-specific (AS) PCR primers were designed to amplify the coding sequence of y-type HMW-GS genes and their upstream sequences, respectively. The results showed that single bands of strong amplification were obtained through AS-PCR of genomic DNA from emmer. After cloning and sequencing the complete sequence of coding and 5'-flanking regions of a y-type subunit gene at Glu-A1 locus was obtained. Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences analysis showed that this gene possessed a similar structure as the previously reported Ay gene from common wheat, and is hence designated as Ay1d. The distinct feature of the Ay1d gene is that its coding region contains four stop codons and its upstream region has a 85-bp deletion in the same position of the Ay gene, which are probably responsible for the silencing of y-type subunit genes at Glu-A1 locus. Phylogenetic analysis of HMW glutenin subunit genes from different Triticum species and genomes were also carried out.     

Inheritance and Expression of Copies of Transgenes 1Dx5 and 1Ax1 in Elite Wheat （Triticum aestivum L.） Varieties Transferred from Transgenic Wheat through Conventional Crossing

To study the inheritance and expression of multiple copies of transgenes from transgenic wheat lines, three crosses between transgenic wheat lines B72-8-11b and B102-1-2 and Chinese elite wheat varieties Chuan89-107 and Email 8 were carried out. Chuan89-107×B72-8-11b, Chuan89-107×B102-1-2 and Email 8×B72-8-11b, and F_1 plants were selfed or backcrossed to obtain different generation populations. Protein analysis in grains of F_1 and F_2 and backcross progenies of BC_1F_1, BC_1F_2, BC_1F_3, BC_2F_1, BC_2F_2 and BC_2F_3 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the transgenes lDx5 and lAx1 were expressed and segregated in the target wheat according to Mendelian laws. A range of lDx5 expression levels were observed in the progenies of Chuan89-107×B72-8-11b and Emai 18×B72-8-11b, but the expression levels of lAx1 in progenies of Chuan89-107×B102-1-2 rarely changed. It suggested that the two foreign genes had different mechanisms of expression in the cross progeny, even though they were produced in the same way and the foreign lDx5 gene of 5-10 copies had the more complicated expression mechanism than the lAx1 gene of 4-5 copies.     

Development of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for porcine circovirus type 2

In this study,the loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP)method was used to develop a rapid and simple detection system for porcine circovirus type 2(PCV2).According to the PCV2 sequences published in GenBank,multiple LAMP primers were designed targeting conserved sequences of PCV2.Using the DNA extracted from PCV2 isolates HUN-09 and SD-09 as the template,LAMP reactions in a PCV2 LAMP system was performed,the amplification products were detected by adding SYBR Green I and could be observed directly by the naked eye.The results showed highly-efficient and specific amplification in 30 min at 63℃ with a LAMP real-time turbidimeter.Furthermore,PCV2 DNA templates,with a detection limit of 5.5×10-5ng of nucleic acid,indicated that this assay was highly sensitive.The results obtained with the naked eye after SYBR Green I staining were consistent with those detected by the real-time turbidimeter,showing the potential simplicity of interpretation of the assay results.The LAMP assay appeared to have greater accuracy than PCR and virus isolation for the analysis of 18 clinical samples.In addition it offers higher specificity and sensitivity,shorter reaction times and simpler procedures than the currently available methods of PCV2 detection.It is therefore a promising tool for the effective and efficient detection of PCV2.

Introgression of 1Dx5+1Dy10 into Tritordeum

The uses of hexaploid tritordeum as a crop for human consumption require improvement of its bread-making quality. For this purpose chromosome 1D of bread wheat with the Glu-D1 allele encoding for high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits Dx5+Dy10 was introgressed into tritordeum. Different primary tritordeums were crossed with wheats carrying subunits Dx5+Dy10. The hybrids were backcrossed to tritordeum and seeds for the next backcross (or selfing) were selected for the presence of chromosome 1D using SDS-PAGE. Forty two chromosome plants carrying subunits Dx5+Dy10 were obtained after two backcrosses and selfing. Chromosome characterization of these plants using fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) proved that either chromosome substitution 1H(ch)/1D or 1A/1D had been obtained. A homozygous plant with a translocation of the entire 1DL arm to 1H(ch)S was also obtained. The complete chromosome substitution lines have better agronomic characteristics than the lines with translocations.
