小麦组织培养和基因抢轰击影响因素探讨

本研究就基因枪法转化小麦过程中的组织培养和轰击参数等影响因素进行了探讨。结果表明,小麦幼胚是比幼穗或成熟胚更理想的转化受体。因供试小麦品种基因型不同,幼胚愈伤组织再生频率差异明显,辽－10为7．84％,91B569为13．68％,东农7742为54．90％。小麦本身对选择剂卡那霉素有较高的天然抗性,采用G418对小麦幼胚愈伤组织进行筛选效果明显。G418的毒性作用有滞后特点,3个小麦品种对G418的敏感性依次为辽－10＞91B569＞东农7742。用G418做选择剂筛选辽－10、91B569和东农7742抗性愈伤的适合浓度分别为25mg/L、30mg/L和35mg/L。此外,不同轰击参数影响金粉分布的范围和密度。轰击距离为6cm或9cm时,内部金粉密度大而外围金粉密度小,差异极大。轰击距离为12cm时,内部和外围金密度差异小,均匀度好。

基因枪转化小麦主要影响因素细述

基因枪转化是目前小麦遗传转化的主要技术之一,高效的基因枪转化系统对于转基因小麦新品种培育、候选基因功能鉴定和功能基因组学研究具有重要意义。本文综述了影响基因枪转化小麦效率的主要因素,包括基因型、外植体、植物生长调节剂、轰击参数、筛选体系等,以期为进一步改进小麦基因枪转化技术,提高基因枪转化小麦的效率提供参考。     

影响基因枪法转化小麦幼胚的几个因素的研究

近几年,利用基因枪直接转入外源DNA,已经成为禾谷类基因转化的主要方法。但在小麦中存在着DNA导入频率低且组织受轰击后再生能力降低等问题。通过实验发现,轰击前14天将小麦幼胚接种于附加0.5mg/L脱落酸(ABA)的诱导培养基上,可显著提高小麦盾片愈伤组织的再生能力。并且,在轰击前6h至轰击后18h,将愈伤组织保持在附加0.5mol/L甘露醇的培养基中,其报告基因的表达将比对照呈几倍的提高。另外,合适的轰击用金粉与DNA配比是转化的关键因素之一。轰击培养14天左右的愈伤组织,每枪用250μg金粉附着0.5μg质粒DNA较宜。     

基因枪介导小麦遗传转化的几个重要影响因素的研究

用基因枪将携带gus-bar双标记基因的质粒pDB1及携带RC24几丁质酶基因的质粒pARN6、pBAB3、pYAO24(pYAO24还带有nptⅠ选择标记基因)以pARN6 pDB1、pBAB3 pDB1及pYAO24三种组合方式转入8个小麦品种的未成熟胚盾片组织,经选择培养获得转基因植株。对基因枪介导小麦遗传转化的主要影响因素,如基因型、材料、金粒制备和轰击参数进行分析,发现西农88是理想的转基因受体基因型,开花两周后的小麦幼胚为理想的轰击材料,制备子弹时合适的金粒含量为30～50pg／次,充分混匀金粒悬浮液可以减少幼胚损伤和提高转化频率。GUS染色发现以蔗糖为渗透剂所产生的蓝色斑点比以甘露醇为渗透剂所产生的蓝色斑点大。针对载体上的nptⅠ筛选标记基因,150mg／L的硫酸卡那霉素为较理想的选择剂浓度;针对载体上的bar筛选标记基因,PPT的浓度为2mg／L易出现假阳性植株,因此应将浓度增加到3～5mg／L。     

农杆菌介导法与基因枪轰击法结合在植物遗传转化上的应用

根癌农杆菌介导法(Agrohacterium mediated transformation)和基因枪轰击法( particle bombardment transformation)是植物遗传转化的主要方法。两种方法各有优缺点．农杆菌介导法是一种天然的植物遗传转化系统,外源基因在转基因植物中的拷贝数低,遗传稳定性好;基因枪转化法不受材料基因型的限制。通过结合两种方法的优点,发展了3种农杆菌介导和基因枪轰击法相结合的遗传转化方法,分别为农杆枪法、基因枪轰击／农杆菌感染法、金粉或钨粉包裹菌体细胞作为微弹轰击法。对3种结合转化方法的技术途径、原理、转化受体及研究进展等方面进行了综述。

胚龄和激素对小麦幼胚组织培养的影响

以扬麦158为试验材料,通过田间取样室内培养的方法研究了胚龄和激素对小麦幼胚组织培养的作用。结果表明,幼胚组织培养最适宜的胚龄为14—16d;适宜的2,4-D浓度为1．5-2．5mg/L;适宜的IAA浓度为2．0-3．0mg/L;适宜的6-BA浓度为0．1-0．8mg/L;适宜的KT浓度为0．5—1．5mg/L。因此,胚龄和激素对于小麦幼胚组织培养具有明显的调节作用．在组织培养实践中,充分认识和综合协调这些因素对小麦幼胚组织培养的作用,可以提高组织培养效率,使其更加有利于生物学研究、遗传转化和快速育种等工作。     

Inheritance of transgenes in transgenic tall fescue (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Festuca arundinacea</Emphasis> schreb.)

Summary Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is the most important forage species worldwide of the Festuca genus. Single genotype-derived embryogenic suspension cultures were established from tall fescue cultivar Kentucky-31, and were used as target cells for biolistic transformation. A chimeric hygromycin phosphotransferase gene (hph) was used as the selectable marker, and a chimeric β-glucuronidase (gusA) gene was co-transformed with hph. Transgenic plants were recovered after microprojectile bombardment of suspension cells and subsequent selection in the presence of a high concentration of hygromycin. Fertile transgenic plants were obtained after vernalization under field conditions. T1 and T2 progenies were obtained after reciprocal crosses between transgenic and untransformed control plants. PCR and Southern hybridization analyses revealed a 1∶1 segregation ratio for both transgenes in the T1 and T2 generations. Southern hybridization patterns were identical for T0, T1, and T2 plants. The results demonstrated for the first time the stable meiotic transmission of transgenes following Mendelian rules in transgenic tall fescue.

Generation of DNA double-strand breaks and inhibition of somatic embryogenesis by tungsten microparticles in wheat

Particles of metallic tungsten, known also as tungsten microprojectiles, are routinely used to deliver foreign DNA into target cells and tissues. Some side effects of biolistic transformation have been observed but never studied in detail. Here we present evidence that intact tungsten particles can promote a breakage of phosphodiester bonds in native DNA, at a limited number of sites. A single, double-strand break appeared within almost each of the circular pUC119 molecules after a short incubation of plasmid DNA with a suspension of tungsten particles. No further DNA cutting could be induced even if the reaction rate was accelerated by increasing the concentration of tungsten in the incubation mixture. Indirect evidence indicates that similar lesions may be generated in cellular DNA of bombarded tissues. These lesions are rapidly repaired, as evidenced by increasing incorporation of labelled DNA precursors in bombarded wheat embryos. The rate of repair is, however, not high enough to restore all the genome functions. Neither germination of mature embryos nor initiation of callus tissues from immature embryos was inhibited by biolistic bombardment. Nevertheless, the frequency of formation of somatic embryos in calli derived from bombarded embryos was markedly lower than in calli derived from control embryos. Both immediate (generation of a limited number of double-strand breaks) and remote (selective inhibition of somatic embryogenesis) side effects of the biolistic process strongly suggest that biological activity of tungsten deserves special attention.

Distribution of an NMDA receptor:GFP fusion protein in sensory neurons is altered by a C-terminal construct

The NMDA receptor plays an important role in mediating sensory input to the spinal cord. Domains within the C-terminus of the NMDA receptor bind to cytoskeletal proteins and facilitate membrane targeting and synaptic clustering, and may participate in regulation of receptor function. One strategy to manipulate NMDA receptor function is to express C-terminal constructs in neurons to disrupt synaptic clustering via competition for binding motifs in cytoskeletal proteins and postsynaptic densities. Biolistic particle-mediated gene transfer was used to deliver plasmid DNA into organotypic cultures of dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Fusion proteins consisting of recombinant (r)NMDA receptor subunit 1-1 (rNR1-1) deletion constructs and enhanced green fluorescent protein (GFP) were expressed in sensory neurons and demonstrated unique distribution patterns within the cell. Expression of the full length rNR1-1:GFP construct was cytosolic and localized to membranous patches similar to endogenous NR1-1 protein expression in sensory neurons. Expression of a construct containing only the C-terminus, GFP:C0C1C2, demonstrated nuclear and membranous localization. When the GFP:C0C1C2 construct was co-expressed with rNR1-1 in sensory neurons, membranous localization of rNR1-1 was disrupted. In contrast, co-expression of a C-terminal cassette lacking the C1 exon cassette, GFP:C0C2, with rNR1-1 did not alter the membranous distribution of rNR1-1. This observation verifies the utility of a gene transfer strategy to diminish membranous NR1-1 content by expressing a construct containing the C1 exon cassette.

Biological projectiles (phage, yeast, bacteria) for genetic transformation of plants

Summary Bacteriophage lambda particles, yeast cells, and bacterial cells were tested as projectiles to deliver marker/reporter genes into plant cells via the biolistic process. When phage particles were complexed to tungsten or gold particles and used to bombard tobacco cells, fewer than 15 cell clusters per plate transiently expressed β-glucuronidase (GUS). Cells of wildtype Saccharomyces cerevisiae were too large to be effective projectiles, but use of a reduced-size mutant resulted in a small number of transformants. Escherichia coli cells complexed with tungsten were the most effective projectile for plant transformation. Various methods to prepare E. coli were tested to reduce particle size, improve binding of bacteria to metal particles, and/or minimize particle clumping. In maize, the number of transformants was highest when bacteria/tungsten particles were air-dried onto macrocarriers from an aqueous solution. When maize cells were bombarded with bacteria/tungsten projectiles, rates of transient gene expression (2000 per plate) and stable transformation (50 per plate) were only two- to threefold lower than when purified DNA was used. Transformation of tobacco with E. coli projectiles was improved when the bacteria were treated with a series of ethanol and ether washes, then dried into a powder. Nevertheless, tobacco transformation was still 24- (transient) and 200-fold (stable) less than when purified DNA was used. Biological projectiles can be effective for plant transformation and are advantageous because once a DNA construct is made and put into the appropriate microorganism, the need to isolate and purify DNA for the biolistic process is eliminated, which saves time and lessens DNA shear. Such projectiles may be especially well suited where high molecular weight DNA constructs are needed.

雪花莲凝集素基因转化小麦及转基因小麦抗蚜性的研究

雪花莲凝集素对具有刺吸式口器的同翅目害虫具有毒杀作用。用基因枪法将1个新的雪花莲凝集素(GNA)基因转入普通春小麦品种中-60634和生产上正在推广的冬小麦高产品种——豫麦66中,分别获得了转基因小麦植株。抗蚜实验证明,转化gna基因的小麦植株对我国北方冬麦区的主要麦蚜——麦长管蚜和禾谷缢管蚜的抗性效果不尽相同。对禾谷缢管蚜,在接种当代即表现出明显的毒杀作用。对麦长管蚜,则表现为虫体发育减缓并且降低了其所生产的若蚜成活率。在自然放养条件下,gna基因则对这两种麦蚜的取食均起到了一定的抑制作用。
