农杆菌介导的大豆高频遗传转化

大豆(Glycinemax(L.)Merrill)遗传转化目前常用的两种方法为农杆菌介导的子叶节转化系统和基因枪介导的体细胞胚转化,但这两种转化系统都存在转化频率低、难于重复及依赖于特定的基因型等问题。为了提高农杆菌介导的大豆子叶节的转化频率,采用了一种基于bar基因作为筛选标记基因的固体-液体筛选系统,与农杆菌共培养3d的大豆子叶节在MS添加2mg/L6-BA和5mg/L的glufosinate的筛选培养基培养2周后,再转到含有0.01mg/LTDZ和2mg/Lglufosinate的液体培养基中筛选,并每周更换一次培养液。得到的再生芽首先经GUS分析为阳性后再转入生根培养基得到完整转化植株,然后通过Southern杂交分析证实外源基因整合到大豆基因组,转化植物含有1~2个基因拷贝数。该转化系统具有转化频率高、转化周期短以及不依赖于大豆基因型等优点,对影响该转化系统的一些因子进行了讨论。

微藻高效基因枪转化方法的建立

基因枪法是外源基因导入微藻细胞的重要手段。然而,发展至今,微藻细胞基因枪转化效率一直偏低（10~50个转化子/μg DNA）,高价低效的转化方法阻碍了基于高通量转化子的基因功能分析。为了提高基因枪的转化效率,本研究以三角褐指藻为材料,从抗生素选择培养基的改良,微载体的选择、制备、包埋、点膜和轰击参数的优化,以及受体细胞的处理等方面进行了系统研究。结果显示,采用50%海水盐度f/2培养基可以提高博来霉素的效价,f/2固体培养基中2216E营养物质的加入能缩短1/3的平板筛选时间。微载体制备应选择对金（钨）粉没有吸附作用的离心管,制备量/管应少于3.5 mg。微载体轰击量每次大约为0.75 mg,过量将会造成一个轰击死亡圈,过少将导致轰击成本上升。当轰击间距A为6.35 mm,间距B为11 mm,间距C为6 cm时,可以获得最多的转化细胞。109个受体细胞铺成较厚的多细胞层能显著提高转化效率。经过上述优化与改进,本研究将现有文献报道的转化效率提高了4.7~30倍,达到295 ± 60个转化子/μg DNA。该方法除适用于三角褐指藻外,也可广泛应用于其他微藻（杜氏盐藻、小球藻）的基因枪转化研究,可以为微藻基因工程研究提供快速,高效和可靠的操作技术。

Biolistic transformation of highly regenerative sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) leaves

Leaves of greenhouse-grown sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) plants that were first screened for high regeneration potential were transformed via particle bombardment with the uidA gene fused to the osmotin or proteinase inhibitor II gene promoter. Stably transformed calli were recovered as early as 7 weeks after bombardment and GUS-positive shoots regenerated 3 months after bombardment. The efficiency of transformation ranged from 0.9% to 3.7%, and stable integration of the uidA gene into the genome was confirmed by Southern blot analysis. The main advantages of direct bombardment of leaves to regenerate transformed sugar beet include (1) a readily available source of highly regenerative target tissue, (2) minimal tissue culture manipulation before and after bombardment, and (3) the overall rapid regeneration of transgenic shoots.     

Stable transformation and long-term expression of the gusA reporter gene in callus lines of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)

Stable transformation of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) was achieved by biolistic bombardment of a non embryogenic cell suspension culture, using the hpt and gusA gene. The transformation yielded on the average 5 callus lines per bombardment (1.4×10⁶ cells). Stable integration of the genes into the plant genome was demonstrated by Southern analysis of DNA, isolated from hygromycin-resistant callus lines. The gusA reporter gene, which was regulated by the constitutive promoter of the rice gene GOS2, was expressed in both transient and stable transformation assays, indicating that this promoter is suitable for expression of a transferred gene in perennial ryegrass. Long-term GUS expression was observed in ca. 40% of the callus lines, whereas the other callus lines showed instability after 6 months and 1 year of culture.     

Genetic transformation of two species of orchid by biolistic bombardment

We report here the transformation of two species of orchid, Dendrobium phalaenopsis and D. nobile,by biolistic bombardment. Calli or protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) were used as target explants. Gold particles (1.0 microm) coated with plasmid DNA (pCAMBIA1301) encoding an intron-containing beta-glucuronidase gene (gus-int) and a hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) gene were introduced into the PLBs or calli using the Bio-Rad PDS-1000/He Biolistic Particle Delivery System. Calli and PLBs were then chopped up and pre-cultured in 1/2-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.4 M mannitol for a 1-h osmoticum treatment before bombardment. Immediately after bombardment, the calli and PLBs were transferred to 1/2-strength MS medium without mannitol for recovery. Putatively transformed plantlets were obtained by selection and regeneration on medium supplemented with 30 mg/l hygromycin. The highest efficiency of transformation was obtained when selection was conducted at 2 days post-bombardment. For D. phalaenopsis and D. nobile, respectively, about 12% and 2% of the bombarded calli or PLBs produced independent transgenic plants. Integration and expression of the transgenes were confirmed by Southern hybridization and Northern hybridization. No nontransformed plants were regenerated, indicating a tight selection scheme. However, separate incorporation of the gus gene and the hpt gene was observed, and in one transgenic line the gus gene was integrated into the genome of the transgenic plant, but not expressed.     

Heterospecific transformation of Pneumococcus and Streptococcus

Summary Transformations of two linked ribosomal loci (str and ery) were carried out between the SIII-1 strain of pneumococcus and the Challis and SBE strains of group H streptococcus. Transfer of markers between the Challis and SBE strains is as efficient as in the corresponding intrastrain transformations. Transfer between either of these strains and the pneumococcus, however, is less efficient than in the corresponding intrastrain transformation, and is referred to as heterospecific transformation. The inefficiency of the heterospecific transformation is due neither to specific lethality nor reduced uptake of heterologous DNA.When DNA was extracted from the hybrid resulting from a heterospecific cross and used to transform the original donor and recipient species, we found: (a) no donor material in the hybrid DNA responsible for the markedly low efficiency of integration into the recipient species; (b) donor material, in addition to the transforming marker itself, detectable by the higher efficiency with which hybrid DNA transforms the original donor species than does DNA from the original recipient species.DNA was extracted from each of 36 independently derived, doubly marked transformants resulting from the cross: Challis str-s ery-sxSIII-1 str-r53 ery-r2 DNA. Variability was observed between the different hybrid DNAs when the integration efficiency of the str marker in each DNA was compared with that of the ery marker. Variability of as great a magnitude was not observed when the same hybrid DNA was tested in repeated experiments, or when different DNA preparations were extracted from the same hybrid strain, or when several DNA preparations were obtained from a number of independent homospecific transformants. It is concluded that different kinds of donor material are present in the various hybrids, and that the nature of this extra-marker material affects the integration of the marker.Linkage of the str and ery markers was reduced in heterospecific transformations. The kind of donor DNA in the hybrid genome did not affect the linkage reduction observed when the str and ery markers were transferred back to the donor species in which they originated. Indeed, this linkage reduction was the same as that observed when the markers were originally transferred from the SIII-1 to the Challis strain. Specific factors reducing linkage in heterologous crosses must, therefore, be distinct from other factors which affect integration efficiency. The former, however, may be primarily responsible for the inefficiency of heterospecific transformation.One of the hybrid DNAs was used to obtain a second generation of hybrids by passing it through each of the original parental strains. Tests of the DNAs extracted from 24 independently produced, second-generation hybrids showed that hybrid DNA is subject to further alteration by a second integration involving some heterologous confrontation. The probability of such alteration appears to be increased if the second integration is accompanied by linkage reduction.Supported by NIH grant AI-00917.     

Transformation of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] using proliferative embryogenic tissue maintained on semi-solid medium

Summary Transgenic soybean can be efficiently produced by particle bombardment of embryogenic suspension culture material. Unfortunately, the time required to obtain a transformation-competent soybean suspension culture line is often lengthy and can result in reduced fertility of regenerated plants. In addition, establishment and maintenance of embryogenic suspension cultures can be very difficult. The objective of this work was to minimize the time required to obtain transformation-competent embryogenic tissue and optimize DNA delivery into that tissue. Somatic embryos were induced from immature cotyledons of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill cv ‘Jack’] by placement of cotyledons, adaxial side up, on a MS-based induction medium containing 40 mg (181 μM) 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) per 1 and 6% sucrose. Embryogenic tissues, which formed from the surface of the cotyledons within 2–4 wk, were transferred to an embryo proliferation medium containing 20 mg (90 μM) 2,4-D per 1 and 3% sucrose. After 4 wk, proliferative embryogenic tissue could be used for transformation via particle bombardment. Desiccation of target tissue, period of subculture prior to bombardment, and the number of bombardments per target tissue were evaluated for enhancement of transient β-glucuronidase (GUS) expression. The highest number of blue foci was observed when the target tissue was desiccated for 10 min in an uncovered Petri plate containing proliferation medium, subcultured on the same day of bombardment, and bombarded three times on a single day. For stable transformation, selection was started 20 d after bombardment using 9 mg hygromycin per 1 for 4 wk, and 18 mg per 1 thereafter. Stably transformed clones were obtained from tissue bombarded once and twice on a single day. GUS assays and Southern hybridization analysis of DNA from putative clones confirmed stable integration of the introduced genes. Fertile transgenic plants were obtained in 11–12 mo following culture initiation.
