This is the first report on Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation of Withania somnifera for expression of a foreign gene in hairy roots. We transformed leaf and shoot tip explants using binary vector having gusA as a reporter gene and nptII as a selectable marker gene. To improve the transformation efficiency, acetosyringone (AS) was added in three stages, Agrobacterium liquid culture, Agrobacterium infection and co-culture of explants with Agrobacterium. The addition of 75 μM AS to Agrobacterium liquid culture was found to be optimum for induction of vir genes. Moreover, the gusA gene expression in hairy roots was found to be best when the leaves and shoot tips were sonicated for 10 and 20s, respectively. Based on transformation efficiency, the Agrobacterium infection for 60 and 120 min was found to be suitable for leaves and shoot tips, respectively. Amongst the various culture media tested, MS basal medium was found to be best in hairy roots. The transformation efficiency of the improved protocol was recorded 66.5 and 59.5?% in the case of leaf and shoot tip explants, respectively. When compared with other protocols the transformation efficiency of this improved protocol was found to be 2.5 fold higher for leaves and 3.7 fold more for shoot tips. Southern blot analyses confirmed 1–2 copies of the gusA transgene in the lines W1-W4, while 1–4 transgene copies were detected in the line W5 generated by the improved protocol. Thus, we have established a robust and efficient A. rhizogenes mediated expression of transgene (s) in hairy roots of W. somnifera. 相似文献

Interest in using renewable sources of carbon, especially lignocellulosic biomass, for the production of hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals has fueled interest in exploring various organisms capable of producing hydrocarbon biofuels and chemicals or their precursors. The oleaginous (oil-producing) yeast Lipomyces starkeyi is the subject of active research regarding the production of triacylglycerides as hydrocarbon fuel precursors using a variety of carbohydrate and nutrient sources. The genome of L. starkeyi has been published, which opens the door to production strain improvements through the development and use of the tools of synthetic biology for this oleaginous species. The first step in establishment of synthetic biology tools for an organism is the development of effective and reliable transformation methods with suitable selectable marker genes and demonstration of the utility of the genetic elements needed for expression of introduced genes or deletion of endogenous genes. Chemical-based methods of transformation have been published but suffer from low efficiency. To address these problems, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation was investigated as an alternative method for L. starkeyi and other Lipomyces species. In this study, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation was demonstrated to be effective in the transformation of both L. starkeyi and other Lipomyces species. The deletion of the peroxisomal biogenesis factor 10 gene was also demonstrated in L. starkeyi. In addition to the bacterial antibiotic selection marker gene hygromycin B phosphotransferase, the bacterial β-glucuronidase reporter gene under the control of L. starkeyi translation elongation factor 1α promoter was also stably expressed in six different Lipomyces species. The results from this study demonstrate that Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is a reliable and effective genetic tool for homologous recombination and expression of heterologous genes in L. starkeyi and other Lipomyces species. 相似文献

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a model crop plant for the study of fruit ripening and disease resistance. Here we present a systemic study on in planta transformation of tomato with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harboring pCAMBIA1303 binary vector bearing HPTII as a plant selectable marker and mGFP/GUS fusion as the reporter gene. We attempted the transformation of tomato at different developmental stages viz. during seed germination, seedling growth, and floral bud development. The imbibition of seeds with Agrobacterium suspension led to seed mortality. The vacuum infiltration of seedlings with Agrobacterium suspension led to sterility in surviving plants. Successful transformation could be achieved either by dipping of developing floral buds in the Agrobacterium suspension or by injecting Agrobacterium into the floral buds. Most floral buds subjected to dip as well as to injection either aborted or had arrested development. The pollination of surviving floral buds with pollen from wild-type plants yielded fruits bearing seeds. A transformation efficiency of 0.25–0.50% was obtained on floral dips/floral injections. Transgenic plants were selected by screening seedlings for hygromycin resistance. The presence of the transgene in genomic DNA was confirmed by Southern blot analysis and expression of the reporter gene up to the T4 generation. The amenability of tomato for in planta transformation simplifies the generation of transgenic tomato plants obviating intervening tissue culture. 相似文献

Plant transformation has emerged as an important tool to integrate foreign genes in the plant genome to modify the plants for desired traits. Though many techniques of plant transformation are available; getting single copy transgenic events and cost associated remains a big challenge. Thus Agrobacterium-mediated transformation remains the method of choice due to multiple advantages. In the present work a tissue culture free protocol of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation was optimized in safflower, an oil seed crop recalcitrant to transformation. As a proof of concept we selected pCAMBIA2300 gene cassette containing Arabidopsis specific delta 15 desaturase (FAD3) downstream to truncated seed specific promoter beta-conglycinin and optimized tissue culture free protocol of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation using embryos as explants. Addition of silwet L-77, sonication treatment, vacuum infiltration in infection medium and use of paper wicks in co-cultivation period increased the transformation efficiency to 19.3%. Further, success in transformation was confirmed via product accumulation in 21 independent transgenic events wherein oil in transformed seeds showed significant accumulation of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3; n3) which is generated from linoleic acid (LA; 18:2; n3) in a FAD3 catalyzed reaction. The present protocol can be utilized to produce transgenic safflower with different desired characters. 相似文献

Medicago truncatula is widely used as a model legume for symbiotic and pathogenic microbial interaction studies. Although a number of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation methods have been developed for M. truncatula, a rapid root transformation system was not yet available for this model plant. Here, we describe an easy method for rapid transgene expression in root hairs of M. truncatula, using young seedlings co-cultivated with the disarmed hypervirulent A. tumefaciens strain AGL1. This method leads to efficient expression of various GUS and fluorescent reporters in M. truncatula root hairs. We showed that transgene expression is detected as soon as 2 days following co-culture, in root hairs of a particular responsive zone lying 0.5–2 cm behind the root tip. This method can be used with a variety of M. truncatula genotypes, and is particularly useful for rapid investigation of the sub-cellular localization of fluorescent fusion proteins. Moreover, combining distinct Agrobacterium strains during the initial co-culture step efficiently generates co-transformed root hairs, suitable for co-localization of different fluorescent fusion proteins in the same cell. 相似文献

Seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum O. Swartz) is an important warm-season turfgrass with great salinity tolerance. Based on establishment of embryogenic callus induction and regeneration from different mature seeds of ‘Sea Spray’, an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation was established and optimized in this study. Three clones of callus were selected for examining transformation conditions using Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain AGL1 carrying the binary vector pCAMBIA1305.2, containing β-glucuronidase (GUS) as a reporter gene and hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT) as a selective marker gene. The results showed that a high transient transformation efficiency was observed by using Agrobacterium concentration of OD600?=?0.6, 5 min of sonication treatment during Agrobacterium infection, and 2 d of co-cultivation. By using the optimized transformation conditions, transgenic seashore paspalum plants were obtained. PCR and Southern blot analysis showed that T-DNA was integrated into the genomes of seashore paspalum. GUS staining experiments showed that the GUS gene was expressed in transgenic plants. Our results suggested that the transformation protocol will provide an effective tool for breeding of seashore paspalum in the future. 相似文献

The Camptotheca acuminata cell suspension cultures were established to produce the well-known antitumor monoterpene indole alkaloid camptothecin (CAM). Most CAM was present in the broth of the C. acuminata cell suspension cultures. The CAM production was evidenced to be attenuated when the C. acuminata cell suspension cultures were continuously subcultured and grown under identical axenic conditions. A practical cryopreservation and recovery procedure was established to maintain the C. acuminata cell suspension cultures. Biotic and abiotic elicitors were administrated to the C. acuminata cell suspension cultures to restore and enhance CAM production. Of them, sorbitol, a well-known hyperosmotic stressor, was proven to be the most effective elicitor that stimulates a ~500-fold increase of CAM production. The committed biosynthetic precursors of CAM, tryptamine and secologanin, were feed to the C. acuminata cell suspension cultures and the CAM production is not remarkably increased. However, N 1-acetylkynuramine (NAK), an important metabolite of kynuramine pathway, was isolated and identified from the cell suspension cultures feeding with tryptamine. The present work provides an efficient method to produce CAM and NAK using the C. acuminata cell suspension cultures. The biotransformation of tryptamine to NAK sheds lights on the biosynthetic formation of the pyrroloquinoline moiety of CAM. 相似文献

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation system was established for Hybanthus enneaspermus using leaf explants with the strain LBA4404 harbouring pCAMBIA 2301 carrying the nptII and gusA genes. Sensitivity of leaf explants to kanamycin was standardized (100 mg/l) for screening the transgenic plants. Transformation parameters (OD, virulence inducer, infection time, co-cultivation period, bactericidal antibiotics, etc.) influencing the gene transfer and integration were assessed in the present investigation. Fourteen-day pre-cultured explants were subjected with Agrobacterium strain LBA4404. Optimized parameters such as culture density of 0.5 OD600, infection time of 6 min, AS concentration of 150 µM with 3 days co-cultivation revealed maximum transformation efficiency based on GUS expression assay. The presence of gusA in transgenics was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction and Southern blotting analysis. The present transformation experiment yielded 20 shoots/explant with higher transformation efficiency (28 %). The protocol could be used to introduce genes for trait improvement as well as for altering metabolic pathway for secondary metabolites production. 相似文献

Taxus media is an important species in the family Taxaceae with high medicinal and commercial value. Overexploitation and illegal trade have led T. media to a severe threat of extinction. In addition, T. media and other Taxus species have similar morphological traits and are easily misidentified, particularly during the seedling stage. The purpose of this study is to develop a species-specific marker for T. media. Through a screening of 36 start codon targeted (SCoT) polymorphism primers, among 15 individuals of 4 Taxus species (T. media, T. chinensis, T. cuspidate and T. fuana), a clear species-specific DNA fragment (amplified by primer SCoT3) for T. media was identified. After isolation and sequencing, a DNA sequence with 530 bp was obtained. Based on this DNA fragment, a primer pair for the sequence-characterized amplified region marker was designed and named MHSF/MHSR. PCR analysis with primer pair MHSF/MHSR revealed a clear amplified band for all individuals of T. media but not for T. chinensis, T. cuspidate and T. fuana. Therefore, this marker can be used as a quick, efficient and reliable tool to identify T. media among other related Taxus species. The results of this study will lay an important foundation for the protection and management of T. media as a natural resource. 相似文献

In vitro culture and genetic transformation of black gram are difficult due to its recalcitrant nature. Establishment of gene transfer procedure is a prerequisite to develop transgenic plants of black gram in a shorter period. Therefore, genetic transformation was performed to optimize the factors influencing transformation efficiency through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated in planta transformation using EHA 105 strain harbouring reporter gene, bar, and selectable marker, gfp-gus, in sprouted half-seed explants of black gram. Several parameters, such as co-cultivation, acetosyringone concentration, exposure time to sonication, and vacuum infiltration influencing in planta transformation, have been evaluated in this study. The half-seed explants when sonicated for 3 min and vacuum infiltered for 2 min at 100 mm of Hg in the presence of A. tumefaciens (pCAMBIA1304– bar) suspensions and incubated for 3 days co-cultivation in MS medium with 100 µM acetosyringone showed maximum transformation efficiency (46 %). The putative transformants were selected by inoculating co-cultivated seeds in BASTA® (4 mg l?1) containing MS medium followed by BASTA® foliar spray on 15-day-old black gram plants (35 mg l?1) in green house, and the transgene integration was confirmed by biochemical assay (GUS), Polymerase chain reaction, Dot-blot, and Southern hybridisation analyses. 相似文献

Withania somnifera one of the most reputed Indian medicinal plant has been extensively used in traditional and modern medicines as active constituents. A high frequency genotype and chemotype independent Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocol has been developed for W. somnifera by optimizing several factors which influence T-DNA delivery. Leaf and node explants of Withania chemotype was transformed with A. tumefaciens strain GV3101 harboring pIG121Hm plasmid containing the gusA gene encoding β-glucuronidase (GUS) as a reporter gene and the hptII and the nptII gene as selection markers. Various factors affecting transformation efficiency were optimized; as 2 days preconditioning of explants on MS basal supplemented with TDZ 1 μM, Agrobacterium density at OD600 0.4 with inclusion of 100 μM acetosyringone (As) for 20 min co-inoculation duration with 48 h of co-cultivation period at 22 °C using node explants was found optimal to improved the number of GUS foci per responding explant from 36?±?13.2 to 277.6?±?22.0, as determined by histochemical GUS assay. The PCR and Southern blot results showed the genomic integration of transgene in Withania genome. On average basis 11 T0 transgenic plants were generated from 100 co-cultivated node explants, representing 10.6 % transformation frequency. Our results demonstrate high frequency, efficient and rapid transformation system for further genetic manipulation in Withania for producing engineered transgenic Withania shoots within very short duration of 3 months. 相似文献

Transformation of commercially important indica cultivars remains challenging for the scientific community even though Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocols for a few indica rice lines have been well established. We report successful transformation of a commercially important restorer line JK1044R of indica rice hybrid JKRH 401. While following existing protocol, we optimized several parameters for callusing, regeneration and genetic transformation of JK1044R. Calli generated from the rice scutellum tissue were used for transformation by Agrobacterium harboring pCAMBIA2201. A novel two tire selection scheme comprising of Geneticin (G418) and Paramomycin were deployed for selection of transgenic calli as well as regenerated plantlets that expressed neomycin phosphotransferase-II gene encoded by the vector. One specific combination of G418 (30 mg l?1) and Paramomycin (70 mg l?1) was very effective for calli selection. Transformed and selected calli were detected by monitoring the expression of the reporter gene uidA (GUS). Regenerated plantlets were confirmed through PCR analysis of nptII and gus genes specific primers as well as dot blot using gus gene specific as probe. 相似文献

An efficient, reproducible, and genotype-independent in planta transformation has been developed for sugarcane using setts as explant.Abstract
Traditional Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation and in vitro regeneration of sugarcane is a complex and time-consuming process. Development of an efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocol, which can produce a large number of transgenic plants in short duration is advantageous. Hence, in the present investigation, we developed a tissue culture-independent in planta genetic transformation system for sugarcane using setts collected from 6-month-old sugarcane plants. The sugarcane setts (nodal cuttings) were infected with three Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains harbouring pCAMBIA 1301–bar plasmid, and the transformants were selected against BASTA®. Several parameters influencing the in planta transformation such as A. tumefaciens strains, acetosyringone, sonication and exposure to vacuum pressure, have been evaluated. The putatively transformed sugarcane plants were screened by GUS histochemical assay. Sugarcane setts were pricked and sonicated for 6 min and vacuum infiltered for 2 min at 500 mmHg in A. tumefaciens C58C1 suspension containing 100 µM acetosyringone, 0.1 % Silwett L-77 showed the highest transformation efficiency of 29.6 % (with var. Co 62175). The three-stage selection process completely eliminated the chimeric transgenic sugarcane plants. Among the five sugarcane varieties evaluated using the standardized protocol, var. Co 6907 showed the maximum transformation efficiency (32.6 %). The in planta transformation protocol described here is applicable to transfer the economically important genes into different varieties of sugarcane in relatively short time.18.

Pathogenicity of Candida albicans is associated with its capacity switch from yeast-like to hyphal growth. The hyphal form is capable to penetrate the epithelial surfaces and to damage the host tissues. Therefore, many investigations have focused on mechanisms that control the morphological transitions of C. albicans. Recently, certain studies have showed that non-albicans Candida species can reduce the capacity of C. albicans to form biofilms and to develop candidiasis in animal models. Then, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Candida krusei and Candida glabrata on the morphogenesis of C. albicans. Firstly, the capacity of reference and clinical strains of C. albicans in forming hyphae was tested in vitro. After that, the expression of HWP1 (hyphal wall protein 1) gene was determined by quantitative real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) assay. For both reference and clinical strains, a significant inhibition of the hyphae formation was observed when C. albicans was incubated in the presence of C. krusei or C. glabrata compared to the control group composed only by C. albicans. In addition, the culture mixed of C. albicans-C. krusei or C. albicans-C. glabrata reduced significantly the expression of HWP1 gene of C. albicans in relation to single cultures of this specie. In both filamentation and gene expression assays, C. krusei showed the higher inhibitory activity on the morphogenesis of C. albicans compared to C. glabrata. C. krusei and C. glabrata are capable to reduce the filamentation of C. albicans and consequently decrease the expression of the HWP1 gene. 相似文献

Effects of a fungal endophyte, Fusarium mairei, on growth and paclitaxel formation of Taxus cuspidata cells were investigated by adding fungal endophyte culture supernatant (FECS) to suspension cultures of T. cuspidata cells. The main effective chemical responsible for paclitaxel formation in FECS was an exopolysaccharide (EPS) of molecular
weight ~2 kDa. FECS fractions except EPS stimulated growth of Taxus cells but had no effects on paclitaxel accumulation. Additionally, elicitation efficiency of FECS based on different culture
conditions was studied. EPS content in FECS was related to FECS culture conditions. FECS with long cultivation and high-aeration
cultivation contained higher EPS content and resulted in higher paclitaxel yield than that with short cultivation and low-aeration
cultivation. The maximum yield of paclitaxel from Taxus cultures, elicited by FECS with 9-day cultivation, was 4.7-fold that of the control cultures. 相似文献
