Agrobacterium-mediated transient GUS gene expression in buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.)

The study was conducted to standardize a protocol for Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.). Embryogenic calli, produced from one-year-old mature seeds of buffel grass, were used as target cells for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. A. tumefaciens strain LBA4404, harbouring pCAMBIA-1301 or pCAMBIA-2301, was used for co-cultivation with embryogenic calli from three genotypes (IG-3108, IG-9757 and IG-97101). Co-culturing of calli with Agrobacterium for 30 minutes, followed by co-cultivation with 0.1 mM acetosyringone for 3 days was found to be optimum for maximum transformation efficiency. Presence of acetosyringone during co-cultivation was found to be necessary for transformation. Transient GUS (beta-glucuronidase) gene expression was used to monitor T-DNA delivery into the target cells. Significant genotypic variations in response to transformation were observed among the tested genotypes. A very high frequency (63.3%) of GUS gene expression was obtained following Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer into embryogenic calli. The standardized protocol would be useful for Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of buffel grass with genes of agronomic importance.     

Additional virulence genes and sonication enhance <Emphasis Type="Italic">Agrobacterium tumefaciens</Emphasis>-mediated loblolly pine transformation

Additional virulence (vir) genes in Agrobacterium tumefaciens and sonication were investigated for their impact on transformation efficiency in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). Mature zygotic embryos of loblolly pine were co-cultivated with disarmed A. tumefaciens strain EHA105 containing either plasmid vector pCAMBIA1301 or vector pCAMBIA1301 with an additional 15.8-kb fragment carrying extra copies of the Vir B, Vir C, and Vir G regions from the supervirulent plasmid pTOK47. pCAMBIA1301 contains hygromycin resistance and the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene. Expression of GUS was observed after 3-6 days of co-cultivation, with peak expression at approximately 21 days. The highest numbers of GUS-expressing areas were visible up to 21 days after co-cultivation, declining rapidly thereafter. Both transient and stable transformation efficiencies increased when the explants were sonicated before co-cultivation and/or the additional virB, virC, and virG genes were included with the pCAMBIA1301 plasmid T-DNA. Use of the plasmid with additional vir genes and sonication dramatically enhanced the efficiency of Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer not only in transient expression but also in the recovery of hygromycin-resistant lines. Stably transformed cultures and transgenic plants were produced from embryos transformed with A. tumefaciens EHA105 carrying pCAMBIA1301 or pCAMBIA1301+pTOK47 in the three families of loblolly pine. The presence of the introduced GUS and hygromycin phosphotransferase genes in the transgenic plants was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction and Southern hybridization analyses.     

Genetic transformation of Robinia pseudoacacia by Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Transgenic Robinia pseudoacacia plants were obtained by Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated gene transfer. Agrobacterium strain LBA4404 harbouring a binary vector that contained the chimeric neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII) and beta-glucuronidase (GUS) genes was co-cultivated with hypocotyl segments of in vitro raised seedlings of Robinia. Parameters important for high efficiency regeneration and transformation rates included type of explant, pre-conditioning of explants and appropriate length of co-cultivation period with Agrobacterium. A transformation frequency 16.67% was obtained by 48 hr of pre-conditioning followed by 48 hr of co-cultivation. Transformed tissue was selected by the ability to grow on kanamycin containing medium. Successful regeneration was followed after histochemical GUS assay for the detection of transgenic tissue. This transformation procedure has the potential to expand the range of genetic variation in Robinia.     

Transformation and regeneration of transgenic aspen plants via shoot formation from stem explants

An Agrobacterium -mediated transformation procedure for aspen ( Populus tremula L.), involving the direct regeneration of shoot-buds from stem explants, is described. Disarmed Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA101 harboring the binary plasmid pKIW1105 (which carries the uidA and nptII genes, coding for β-glucuronidase [GUS] and neomycin phosphotransferase II, respectively) was used for the transformation of stem explants. An incubation period of 48 to 72 h was found to be most effective in terms of transient GUS expression on the cut surface of the stem explants. Adventitious shoots regenerated after 2–3 weeks of culture in a woody plant medium (WPM) supplemented with TDZ (1-phenyl-3-[1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl]-urea, Thidiazuron) and carbenicillin. Three different kanamycin-based selection schemes were evaluated for optimization of transformation efficiency: (1) Kanamycin was added only to the rooting medium (5 to 6 weeks post-inoculation), or (2) to the regeneration medium 10–14 days after inoculation, or (3) after 2 days of co-cultivation. The third selection scheme was found to be optimal for adventitious shoots with regard to both the time required and the transformation efficiency, the latter being much higher than with the other schemes. Leaf samples from kanamycin-resistant shoots and plantlets were tested for GUS expression, and subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of uidA and nptII genes. A Southern blot of the corresponding PCR-amplified fragments confirmed their authenticity and Southern blots of total plant DNA confirmed integration of the nptII gene into the plant genome.

Genetic transformation of Ginkgo biloba by Agrobacterium tumefaciens

A reproducible protocol has been established for the transformation of Ginkgo biloba by Agrobacterium tumefaciens . Embryos were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101 (pGV2260) carrying the binary vector pTHW136, which contained the gus reporter gene and the nptII selectable gene, encoding the enzymes β -glucuronidase (GUS) and neomycin phophotransferase II, respectively. Transient GUS activity has been used to screen the effects of different factors on the transfer of DNA into embryos (age of embryos, infection method, composition of co-cultivation medium). Then, experimental conditions have been defined to obtain transgenic kanamycin-resistant G. biloba calluses expressing GUS activity. The highest rate of transformation (45%) was reached using 1.5-month-old embryos co-cultivated on a medium lacking mineral elements. The integration of gus and nptII genes in calluses was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction analysis and Southern blot analysis.     

Development of efficient catharanthus roseus regeneration and transformation system using agrobacterium tumefaciens and hypocotyls as explants

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: As a valuable medicinal plant, Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) produces many terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs), such as vindoline, ajamlicine, serpentine, catharanthine, vinblastine and vincristine et al. Some of them are important components of drugs treating cancer and hypertension. However, the yields of these TIAs are low in wild-type plants, and the total chemical synthesis is impractical in large scale due to high-cost and their complicated structures. The recent development of metabolic engineering strategy offers a promising solution. In order to improve the production of TIAs in C. roseus the establishment of an efficient genetic transformation method is required. RESULTS: To develop a genetic transformation method for C. roseus, A. tumefaciens strain EHA105 was employed which harbors a binary vector pCAMBIA2301 containing a report beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene and a selectable marker neomycin phosphotransferase II gene (NTPII). The influential factors were investigated systematically and the optimal transformation condition was achieved using hypocotyls as explants, including the sonication treatment of 10 min with 80 W, A. tumefaciens infection of 30 min and co-cultivation of 2 d in 1/2 MS medium containing 100 muM acetosyringone. With a series of selection in callus, shoot and root inducing kanamycin-containing resistance mediums, we successfully obtained stable transgenic regeneration plants. The expression of GUS gene was confirmed by histochemistry, polymerase chain reaction, and genomic southern blot analysis. To prove the efficiency of the established genetic transformation system, the rate-limiting gene in TIAs biosynthetic pathway, DAT, which encodes deacetylvindoline-4-O-acetyltransferase, was transferred into C. roseus using this established system and 9 independent transgenic plants were obtained. The results of metabolite analysis using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) showed that overexpression of DAT increased the yield of vindoline in transgenic plants. CONCLUSIONS: In the present study, we report an efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system for C. roseus plants with 11.11 % of transformation frequency. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the establishment of A. tumefaciens mediated transformation and regeneration of C. roseus. More importantly, the C. roseus transformation system developed in this work was confirmed in the successful transformation of C. roseus using a key gene involved in TIAs biosynthetic pathway resulting in the higher accumulation of vindoline in transgenic plants.     

Gene Manipulation of a Heavy Metal Hyperaccumulator Species Thlaspi caerulescens L. via Agrobacterium-mediated Transformation

Thlaspi caerulescens L. is well known as a Zn/Cd hyperaccumulator. The genetic manipulation of T. caerulescens through transgenic technology can modify plant features for use in phytoremediation. Here, we describe the efficient transformation of T. caerulescens using Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 harboring a binary vector pBI121 with the nptII gene as a selectable marker, the gus gene as a reporter and a foreign catalase gene. Based on the optimal concentration of growth regulators, the shoot cluster regeneration system via callus phase provided the basis of the genetic transformation in T. caerulescens. The key variables in transformation were examined, such as co-cultivation period and bacterial suspension density. Optimizing factors for T-DNA delivery resulted in kanamycin-resistant transgenic shoots with transformation efficiency more than 20%, proven by histochemical GUS assay and PCR analysis. Southern analysis of nptII and RT-PCR of catalase gene demonstrated that the foreign genes were integrated in the genome of transformed plantlets. Moreover, the activity of catalase enzyme in transgenic plants was obviously higher than in wild-type plants. This method offers new prospects for the genetic engineering of this important hyperaccumulator species.     

Transgenic plant production from leaf discs of Moricandia arvensis using Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Summary A high frequency shoot regeneration (80%) was developed from callus of leaf discs and stem internodes of Moricandia arvensis. Leaf discs were shown to be a preferable starting material for transformation experiments. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101/pMP90 used in this study contained a binary vector with genes for kanamycin resistance, hygromycin resistance and -glucuronidase (GUS). Maximum transformation efficiency (10.3%) was achieved by using kanamycin at the rate of 200 mg/l as a selection agent. Presence of tobacco suspension culture during co-cultivation and a pre-selection period of seven days after co-cultivation was essential for successful transformation. Transgenic plants grew to maturity and exhibited flowering in a glasshouse. GUS activity was evident in all parts of leaf and the presence of GUS gene in plant gemone was confirmed by PCR analysis.Abbreviations GUS -glucuronidase
