Chromosome landing at the bacterial blight resistance gene<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Xa4</Emphasis> locus using a deep coverage rice BAC library

Xa4 is a dominantly inherited rice gene that confers resistance to Philippine race 1 of the bacterial blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae in rice. In order to isolate the gene by positional cloning, a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library was constructed from genomic DNA isolated from an Xa4-harboring accession, IRBB56. The library contains 55,296 clones with an average insert size of 132 kb, providing 14 rice genome equivalents. Three DNA markers closely linked to Xa4 were used to screen the library. The marker RS13, a resistance gene analogue that co-segregates with Xa4, identified 18 clones, of which four and six, respectively, were simultaneously detected by the other two markers, G181 and L1044. Fingerprinting and Southern analysis indicated that these clones overlapped and define an interval spanning 420 kb. In an F2 population derived from an indica variety, IR24, and its Xa4-containing near isogenic line (NIL), IRBB4, the susceptible plants were screened in order to map the Xa4 gene genetically and physically. Out of 24 insert ends isolated from the BACs in the contig, three revealed polymorphisms between IR24 and IRBB4. Two insert ends, 56M22F and 26D24R, flanked Xa4 on each side. Based on the overlap of the BACs, six overlapping clones were considered to include the Xa4 allele, one of which, 106P13, was chosen for further investigation.     

A mouse genomic library in the bacteriophage P1 cloning system: organization and characterization

Using the bacteriophage P1 cloning system, we have constructed a two to three times coverage, high-molecular-weight (HMW) genomic library from mouse C127 fibroblast cells. The library consists of about 127,500 clones with an average insert size of about 70 kb that are organized into 300 primary pools containing approximately 425 clones per pool. For screening purposes the primary pools are combined into secondary pools (4250 clones each) and tertiary pools (21,250 clones each). Screening is performed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with DNA isolated from the secondary and tertiary pools. We have screened the library for 13 different mouse sequences and have detected 11. Clones generated from two of the eleven positive screens were isolated from the library (those containing the c-fos and Gi2 genes) and were further characterized. Direct double-stranded sequencing of DNA from P1 clones with primers bordering the insert provided sequence information from each end of the cloned DNA.     

Construction of BAC and BIBAC libraries from sunflower and identification of linkage group-specific clones by overgo hybridization

Complementary BAC and BIBAC libraries were constructed from nuclear DNA of sunflower cultivar HA 89. The BAC library, constructed with BamHI in the pECBAC1 vector, contains 107,136 clones and has an average insert size of 140 kb. The BIBAC library was constructed with HindIII in the plant-transformation-competent binary vector pCLD04541 and contains 84,864 clones, with an average insert size of 137 kb. The two libraries combined contain 192,000 clones and are equivalent to approximately 8.9 haploid genomes of sunflower (3,000 Mb/1C), and provide a greater than 99% probability of obtaining a clone of interest. The frequencies of BAC and BIBAC clones carrying chloroplast or mitochondrial DNA sequences were estimated to be 2.35 and 0.04%, respectively, and insert-empty clones were less than 0.5%. To facilitate chromosome engineering and anchor the sunflower genetic map to its chromosomes, one to three single- or low-copy RFLP markers from each linkage group of sunflower were used to design pairs of overlapping oligonucleotides (overgos). Thirty-six overgos were designed and pooled as probes to screen a subset (5.1×) of the BAC and BIBAC libraries. Of the 36 overgos, 33 (92%) gave at least one positive clone and 3 (8%) failed to hit any clone. As a result, 195 BAC and BIBAC clones representing 19 linkage groups were identified, including 76 BAC clones and 119 BIBAC clones, further verifying the genome coverage and utility of the libraries. These BAC and BIBAC libraries and linkage group-specific clones provide resources essential for comprehensive research of the sunflower genome.

Construction of tomato genomic DNA libraries in a binary-BAC (BIBAC) vector

This is the first report of large insert genomic DNA libraries constructed in a binary-BAC (BIBAC) vector. Genomic DNA libraries containing approximately 4.6 haploid nuclear genomic equivalents were constructed for Lycopersicon esculentum (cv. Mogeor) and Lycopersicon pennellii (LA716) in the BIBAC2 vector. The L. esculentum library has an average insert size of 125 kb and is comprised of 42 272 individual colonies stored as frozen cultures in a 384-well format (108 plates). The L. pennellii library has an average insert size of 90 kb and is comprised of 53 760 individual clones (140 384-well plates). In each of the libraries, it is estimated that 90% of the colonies contain genomic DNA inserts. The composition of the L. esculentum and L. pennellii libraries was determined by analyzing a series of randomly selected clones. The L. esculentum library was surveyed for clones containing chloroplast DNA (1.4%), mitochondrial DNA (0.012%) and repetitive DNA motifs. BIBAC clones that may contain a gene of interest can be identified from these libraries by colony hybridization with homologous or heterologous probes or by PCR pooling techniques. Once identified, BIBAC genomic DNA library clones are immediately suitable for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated plant transformation.     

Characterization of a plant-transformation-ready large-insert BIBAC library of Arabidopsis and bombardment transformation of a large-insert BIBAC of the library into tobacco

Plant-transformation-ready, large-insert binary bacterial artificial chromosome (BIBAC) libraries are of significance for functional and network analysis of large genomic regions, gene clusters, large-spanning genes, and complex loci in the post-genome era. Here, we report the characterization of a plant-transformation-ready BIBAC library of the sequenced Arabidopsis genome for which such a library is not available to the public, the transformation of a large-insert BIBAC of the library into tobacco by biolistic bombardment, and the expression analysis of its containing genes in transgenic plants. The BIBAC library was constructed from nuclear DNA partially digested with BamHI in the BIBAC vector pCLD04541. It contains 6144 clones and has a mean insert size of 108?kb, representing 5.2× equivalents of the Arabidopsis genome or a probability of greater than 99% of obtaining at least one positive clone from the library using a single-copy sequence as a probe. The transformation of the large-insert BIBAC and analyses of the transgenic plants showed that not only did transgenic plants have intact BIBAC DNA, but also could the BIBAC be transmitted stably into progenies and its containing genes be expressed actively. These results suggest that the large-insert BIBAC library, combined with the biolistic bombardment transformation method, could provide a useful tool for large-scale functional analysis of the Arabidopsis genome sequence and applications in plant-molecular breeding.     

A large insert Thellungiella halophila BIBAC library for genomics and identification of stress tolerance genes

Salt cress (Thellungiella halophila), a salt-tolerant relative of Arabidopsis, has turned to be an important model plant for studying abiotic stress tolerance. One binary bacterial artificial chromosome (BIBAC) library was constructed which represents the first plant-transformation-competent large-insert DNA library generated for Thellungiella halophila. The BIBAC library was constructed in BamHI site of binary vector pBIBAC2 by ligation of partial digested nuclear DNA of Thellungiella halophila. This library consists of 23,040 clones with an average insert size of 75 kb, and covers 4× Thellungiella halophila haploid genomes. BIBAC clones which contain inserts over 50 kb were selected and transformed into Arabidopsis for salt tolerant plant screening. One transgenic line was found to be more salt tolerant than wild type plants from the screen of 200 lines. It was demonstrated that the library contains candidates of stress tolerance genes and the approach is suitable for the transformation of stress susceptible plants for genetic improvement.     

A plant-transformation-competent BIBAC library of ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) for functional genomics research and characterization of genes involved in ginsenoside biosynthesis

Ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Mey.) is widely used as a major medicinal herb and as a feedstock for the medicine, beverage, food, cosmetic, etc. industries, in China and several other Asian countries. However, limited research has been accomplished into its genetics, genomics and breeding. To clone, characterize and utilize the genes of economic importance in the species, we have developed a large-insert plant-transformation-competent binary bacterial artificial chromosome (BIBAC) library for Jilin ginseng cv. Damaya. The library contains 141,312 clones, with an average insert size of 110 kb, each likely containing approximately 20–30 genes. The clones of the library have all been arrayed in 384-well microplates and permanently archived. We screened the library and identified BIBAC clones containing nine genes likely involved in the biosynthesis pathway of ginsenosides—the major medicinally effective compounds of ginseng—with approximately four BIBACs per gene. This result further verified the quality of the library and demonstrated its utility in cloning, characterization and utilization of economically important genes in ginseng. Furthermore, since the library is cloned in a plant-transformation-competent BIBAC vector (pCLD04541) that can be directly transformed in a variety of plants via both the Agrobacterium-mediated method and the particle bombardment method, we have also demonstrated the stability of large-insert ginseng DNA BIBACs in different Agrobacterium strains, which is crucial to large-insert BIBAC transformation in plants. Therefore, the Jilin ginseng BIBAC library provides resources and tools useful for functional genomics research, and cloning, characterization and utilization of economically important genes in the species.
