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.     

Production of<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Hevea brasiliensis</Emphasis> transgenic embryogenic callus lines by<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Agrobacterium tumefaciens</Emphasis>: roles of calcium

A procedure has been established for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation of Hevea brasiliensis embryogenic friable calli. Precultivation of tissues on a CaCl(2)-free maintenance medium dramatically enhanced the transient activity of the reporter gene, gusA encoding beta-glucuronidase (GUS). The increase was first noticed in highly active cells (undifferentiated or/and embryogenic), in tissues precultured for 2-8 weeks. Beyond 8 weeks of preculture, GUS activity increased again, but this time in tissues consisting of differentiated cells accumulating polyphenols. Out of five Agrobacterium strains cocultivated with CaCl(2)-free precultured tissues, only inoculation with EHA105pC2301 led to high transient GUS activity. Paromomycin proved more effective than kanamycin for the selection of transformed cells, as it inhibits the growth of non-transformed cells more radically. Five paromomycin-resistant callus lines were established. The presence of gusA and neomycin phosphotransferase ( nptII) genes in the plant genome was confirmed by DNA amplification, and by Southern hybridization. These results confirmed that A. tumefaciens is an effective system for mediating stable transformation of rubber tree calli with a low copy number of transgenes. Transgenic callus lines constitute a useful tool for studying genes of interest on a cellular level and for regenerating transgenic rubber trees.     

Enhancer-trapping system for somatic embryogenesis in carrot

Somatic embryogenesis in the carrot was used to model zygotic embryogenesis because the spatial and temporal changes in somatic and zygotic embryogenesis are quite similar. To establish an enhancer-trapping system for somatic embryogenesis in the carrot, we constructed 2 enhancer-trap vectors (pETVs) using the GUS reporter gene with a minimal promoter. We also constructed several positive control vectors (pPCVs) using the CaMV 35S promoter. These are models in which pETVs are inserted near a native enhancer region in correct or reverse orientation. First, we tested whether these vectors could be used as enhancer-trap vectors using transgenic hairy root of tobacco. Histochemical GUS assays revealed that pETVs could be used as enhancer-trap vectors, even when the reporter gene in the pETVs was inserted near the native enhancer. Subsequently, we examined the availability of pETVs in somatic embryogenesis in the carrot. The constructed vector was activated in transgenic carrot embryogenic cells at high frequency (64%). This suggests that the enhancer-trapping vector is suitable as a carrot somatic embryogenesis system.     

胡萝卜HRGP启动子调控GUS基因的某些特点

HRG(hydroxyproline rich glycoproteins)是高等植物细胞壁中一类富含羟脯氨酸的糖蛋白,是植物细胞壁中主要的结构蛋白。早期研究认为其在细胞壁的形成过程中起作用并称之为伸展蛋白(extensin)。在双子叶植物中,HRGP基因以多基因家族形式存在,具有特定的表达模式。许多条件及处理都能引起HRGP表达量的增加,如伤害、真菌感染、病毒感染、乙烯、细胞培养、红光等,同时也受到发育水平的调节。在单子叶植物中,玉米HRGP的表达是在发育水平上受伤害调节的。HRGP基因还具有组织专一性表达的特点。在大豆种子中,HRGP主要存在于种皮的外两层、表皮栅栏组织和滴漏细胞中,属于起支持作用的厚壁组织。在胡萝卜根韧皮部薄壁细胞中HRGP含量最丰富,而在健康的番茄根中     

Optimization of delivery of foreign DNA into higher-plant chloroplasts

We report here an efficient and highly reproducible delivery system, using an improved biolistic transformation device, that facilitates transient expression of -glucuronidase (GUS) in chloroplasts of cultured tobacco suspension cells. Cultured tobacco cells collected on filter papers were bombarded with tungsten particles coated with pUC118 or pBI101.3 (negative controls), pBI505 (positive nuclear control) or a chloroplast expression vector (pHD203-GUS), and were assayed for GUS activity. No GUS activity was detected in cells bombarded with pUC118 or pBI101.3. Cells bombarded with pBI505 showed high levels of expression with blue color being distributed evenly throughout the whole cytosol of the transformants. pHD203-GUS was expressed exclusively in chloroplasts. We base this conclusion on: i) the procaryotic nature of the promoter used in the chloroplast expression vector; ii) delayed GUS staining; iii) localization of blue color within subcellular compartments corresponding to plastids in both shape and size; and iv) confirmation of organelle-specific expression of pHD203-GUS using PEG-mediated protoplast transformation. Chloroplast transformation efficiencies increased dramatically (about 200-fold) using an improved helium-driven biolistic device, as compared to the more commonly used gun powder charge-driven device. Using GUS as a reporter gene and the improved biolistic device, optimal bombardment conditions were established, consistently producing several hundred transient chloroplast transformants per Petri plate. Chloroplast transformation efficiency was found to be increased further (20-fold) with supplemental osmoticum (0.55 M sorbitol and 0.55 M mannitol) in the bombardment and incubation medium. This system provides a highly effective mechanism for introducing and expressing plasmid DNA within higher-plant chloroplasts, and the fact that GUS functions as an effective marker gene now makes many genetic studies possible which were not possible before.     

Establishment of a micro-particle bombardment transformation system for Dunaliella salina

In this study, we chronicle the establishment of a novel transformation system for the unicellular marine green alga, Dunaliella salina. We introduced the CaMV35S promoter-GUS construct into D. salina with a PDS1000/He micro-particle bombardment system. Forty eight h after transformation, via histochemical staining, we observed the transient expression of GUS in D. salina cells which had been bombarded under rupture-disc pressures of 450 psi and 900 psi. We observed no GUS activity in either the negative or the blank controls. Our findings indicated that the micro-particle bombardment method constituted a feasible approach to the genetic transformation of D. salina. We also conducted tests of the cells' sensitivity to seven antibiotics and one herbicide, and our results suggested that 20 microg/ml of Basta could inhibit cell growth completely. The bar gene, which encodes for phosphinothricin acetyltransferase and confers herbicide tolerance, was introduced into the cells via the above established method. The results of PCR and PCR-Southern blot analyses indicated that the gene was successfully integrated into the genome of the transformants.
