构建了基于Activator/Dissociation(β-glucuronidase)[简称Ac/Ds(GUS)]结构的捕获质粒p13B,用于分离水稻基因启动子.以此质粒用衣杆菌介导的方法转化粳稻品种中花11的胚性愈伤组织,对获得的18个独立转化株的T2代植株进行了抗除草剂筛选,从141个抗除草剂转基因植株中用PCR方法检测到其中37株是Ds因子发生了转座的植株,而且这种转座到新位置上的Ds因子是遗传的.初步观察到其中5株的GUS染色呈阳性.     

玉米Ubi-1启动子在可育转基因玉米植株中的表达活性

本工作将玉米泛素基因-1启动子(Ubi-1)与大肠杆菌β-葡糖苷酸酶基因(gus,uidA)的编码区融合,通过基因枪粒子轰击方法转化来自玉米未成熟胚盾片组织的I-型愈伤组织,经PPT选择获得可育的玉米转基因植株,并采用组织化学方法分析了Ubi-1启动子驱动的gus基因在不同组织、细胞中的表达活性,发现gus基因在除花药壁以外的其它所试组织中均可以有效表达.UbiGUS在花粉、卵细胞和T1代转基因植株未成熟胚中的表达显示该启动子在植株发育的早期阶段即具有活性.对T0代转基因植株的花粉进行GUS组织化学染色,gus基因呈11分离,显示外源基因在转基因植株中以孟德尔方式遗传.同时发现,使用玉米本身的启动子Ubi-1可以降低外源基因在转基因玉米中的拷贝数,进而避免基因沉默现象的发生.目前已得到第二代转基因种子.     

玉米Ubi－1启动子在可育转基因玉米植株中的表达活性

本工作将玉米泛素基因－1启动子（Ubi-1)与大肠杆菌β－葡萄糖苷酸酶基因（gus,uidA)的编码区融合,通过基因枪粒子轰击方法转化来自水成熟胚盾片组织的I－型愈伤组织,经PPT选择获得可育的玉米转基因植株,并采用组织化学方法分析了Ubi-1启动子驱动的gus基因在不同组织,细胞中的表达活性,发现gus基因在除花药壁以外的其它所试组织中均可以有效表达。Ubi：GUS在花粉,卵细胞中T1代转基因植株未成熟胚中的表达显示该启动子在植株发育的早期阶段即具有活性。对T0代转基因植株的花粉进行GUS组织化学染色,gus基因呈1：1分离,显示外源基因在转基因植株中以孟德尔方式遗传。同时发现,使用玉米本身的启动子Ubi-1可以降低外源基因在转基因玉米中的拷贝数,进而避免基因沉默现象的发生。目前已得到第二代转基因种子。     

水稻OsBP-73基因表达需要其内含子参与

该实验室以前的研究表明,水稻OsBP-73基因含有2个外显子和1个长度为2 471 bp的内含子.该文报告用OsBP-73基因ATG翻译起始密码子(在第1外显子中)上游序列(1- 818～ 215)与GUS基因构成嵌合质粒pRSSl,将该质粒转化水稻后,在抗性愈伤组织和转基因植株中未能检测到GUS基因的表达.只有用含有完整的内含子及其上游序列(1 818～ 2 844)与GUS基因构成嵌合质粒(p13GNF)时,才能在p13GNF的转基因抗性愈伤组织和植株中检测到GUS基因的表达.实验还证明,单是内含子序列并不能驱动GUS基因在转基因水稻中表达.由此推测:OsBP-73基因的启动子序列驱动基因表达时,需要基因内含子的参与.

基于启动子捕获系统的水稻基因的分离

为了分离水稻的基因及其启动子,该实验室构建了T-DNA(GUS)结构的水稻启动子捕获系统,对其中编号为113#、T-DNA单拷贝插入、GUS报告基因为组成型表达的阳性捕获系进行了进一步分析。潮霉素筛选结合GUS组织化学染色获得了T-DNA插入的纯合株(113#-22和113#-26);Inverse法分离得到T-DNA插入位点水稻基因组DNA旁邻序列,测序和BLAST结果表明,T-DNA反方向插在水稻基因组4号染色体预测基因的内含子中;扩增T-DNA插入位点上游2kb左右DNA片段,构建启动子分析质粒转化水稻‘中花11’胚性愈伤组织,获得转基因植株,GUS组织化学染色模式与113#阳性株系一致。结果表明,该预测基因及其启动子是利用启动子捕获系统所捕获到的候选基因。     

pib基因启动子及其诱导启动性初探

将pib基因上游5.7 kb区段取代pCAMBIA1301中gus基因上游的35S启动子构建了pib拟启动区-GUS+ 35S-hpt 基因表达载体pNAR604。经农杆菌介导转化水稻成熟胚愈伤,获得了转基因抗潮霉素愈伤和36株转基因水稻植株。 转基因抗性愈伤和转基因植株根的组织化学GUS活性检测表明,光照培养下的抗性愈伤和转基因植株根不能使X-gluc显色,而暗处理24 h后的抗性愈伤和定植后转基因植株的根能使X-gluc显色。转基因植株GUS荧光定量分析结果表明,GUS表达具有器官特异性,黑暗处理前根的GUS活性最高、茎次之,分别是是叶片的7倍和3倍,叶片中仅有痕量本底。24 h黑暗处理后根、茎、叶中GUS活性都有增加,且叶片中的增加比例最大,其活性仅次于根。5 mmol/L水杨酸和0.3 mol/L NaCl叶面喷施转基因植株24 h后叶片中GUS活性分别为处理前的2.7和3.6倍。初步确定pib拟启动区是一个诱导型启动子。黑暗、水杨酸和NaCl能诱导该启动子启动活性。     

不同启动子控制下Ac转座酶基因的表达对玉米Ds因子在水稻中切离频率的影响

用水稻愈伤组织比较了Ac启动子、35S启动子与Ubi启动子控制下Ac转座酶基因（Ts）的表达对Ds因子切离频率的影响。结果表明Ubi启动子与Ac转座酶编码区嵌合基因（Ubipro-Ts）反式激活Ds因子的切离频率最高,达到了72.9%。通过杂交将Ubipro-Ts基因导入Ds因子转化植株,得到9株Ubipro-Ts基因与Ds因子共存的F1代杂交水稻植株,其中有8株Ds因子发生了切离。用Inverse-PCR的方法从其中一株杂交植株中克隆到Ds因子的旁邻序列,其DNA顺序与亲本中Ds因子原插入位点的序列不同,表明Ds因子转座到了新的基因组位点。     

番茄rbcS3A启动子控制的GUS融合基因在转基因水稻中的表达

为研究不同启动子用于转基因水稻,克隆了番茄Rubisco小亚基rbcS3A基因的5′上游调控区,构建了由rbcS3A启动子引导的GUS嵌合基因,并经农杆菌介导导入到水稻中。对转基因水稻植株中GUS活性的定性与定量测定结果表明,rbcS3A启动子可驱动GUS报告基因在转基因水稻植株茎和叶组织中高效表达,而在根和种子等器官中不表达或表达活性极弱,表现出一定的组织特异性。在转基因水稻中,番茄rbcS3A启动子驱动外源基因的表达不受光诱导。     

简单高效的根癌农杆菌介导的水稻基因转化方法

本文在研究影响农杆菌介导的水稻转化的主要因素基础上,建立了一套简单、高效的水稻转基因系统。将水稻成熟胚来源的愈伤组织用农杆菌EHA101／pHQ9,EHA101／pHQ10,EHA101／pHQT3感染后,筛选抗性愈伤,经分化获得转化株。抗性愈伤的平均得率为约100个愈伤／g愈伤外植体,抗性愈伤的分化频率平均高达85％。转基因植株的GUS染色、Southern杂交结果表明,T-DNA上的外源基因已整合进转基因植物的基因组中。转基因植株T1代对潮霉素的抗性表明,多数转基因株系符合孟德尔分离比3：1。该系统的建立将有助于应用T—DNA标签法和基因打靶法进行水稻功能基因组的研究。     

Establishing a gene trap system mediated by T-DNA(GUS) in rice

Two plasmids, p13GUS and p13GUS2, were constructed to create a gene trap system containing the promoterless β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene in the T-DNA region. Transformation of these two plasmids into the rice variety Zhonghua 11 (Oryza sativa ssp. japonica cv.), mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, resulted in 942 independent transgenic lines. Histochemical GUS assays revealed that 31 To plants had various patterns of the reporter gene expression, including expression in only one tissue, and simultaneously in two or more tissues. Hygromycin-resistant (hygr) homozygotes were screened and the copy number of the T-DNA inserts was determined in the GUS-positivs transgenic plants. The flanking sequences of the T-DNA were isolated by inverse-polymerase chain reaction and the insert positions on the rice genome of T-DNA were determined by a basic local alignment search tool in the GUS-positive transgenic plants transformed with plasmid p13GUS. Moreover, calii induced from the seeds of the T1 generation of 911 GUS-negative transgenic lines were subjected to stress and hormone treatments. Histochemical GUS assays were carried out on the calli before and after treatment. The results revealed that calli from 21 lines displayed differential GUS expression after treatment. All of these data demonstrated that this trap system is suitable for identifying rice genes, including those that are sensitive to induction.

猪心脏脂肪酸结合蛋白基因PCR-RFLP分子标记研究

利用PCR-RFLP分子标记技术,检测了杜洛克、长白、大白、内江、荣昌、汉江黑、汉白、八眉和野猪共计265头猪心脏脂肪酸结合蛋白基因5'上游区和第二内含子区的遗传变异。结果表明,在HinfI-RFLP位点上,上述猪种和野猪均存在多态性,等位基因H的频率分别为0.7500,0.7188,0.9167,0.3333,0.1250,0.6909,0.1167,0.8500和0.9375;除汉江黑猪(P<0.05)和野猪(P<0.01)外,其余的猪种基因频率和基因型频率都处于Hardy-Weinderg平衡状态(P>0.05);大白、八眉、汉江黑、汉白和野猪表现为低度多态(PIC<0.25),杜洛克、长白、内江和荣昌猪为中度多态性(0.25相似文献   

插入玉米Ds转座因子的水稻转化群体及其分子分析

转座子标签法是一种利用转座因子插入高等植物基因组中造成基因突变,然后通过分离转座因子插入的旁邻顺序,进而克隆出突变基因的策略。这种策略在高等植物功能基因组学的研究中是十分有用的。为此目的,将玉米的Ds因子及bar基因连接至载体pCAMBIA1300的T-DNA区域中,构建成重组Ti质粒pDsBar1300。pDsBar1300中T-DNA区域中的潮霉素抗性基因可在转化过程中用作水稻转化植株的选择标记。插入在Ds因子中的bar基因可追踪转化后代的Ds因子。pDsBar1300通过根瘤农杆茵介导引入水稻品种中花11号的幼胚组织。从各转化愈伤组织中获得了1400株独立的Ds水稻转化植株。通过PPT抗性检测和PCR分析证明了水稻转化植株中Ds因子的整合。Southernblot分析了转化植株基因组中Ds因子的插入拷贝数,其中单拷贝插入比率约占70％。这些插有Ds因子的水稻转化植株,当引入自主型的Ac因子反式活化Ds因子后,可使Ds因子跳跃到不同位点上,就可得到更多的突变植株。     

Improved efficiency for T-DNA-mediated transformation and plasmid rescue inArabidopsis thaliana

A vector was constructed for the isolation of gene fusions to thelacZ reporter gene following T-DNA integration into the genome ofArabidopsis thaliana. To facilitate the generation of taggedA. thaliana plants, we established a modified method for high-frequency transformation ofA. thaliana byAgrobacterium tumefaciens. The main modification required was to inhibit the methylation of T-DNA in the transformed calli. Apparently, cytosine residues of thenos-nptII gene used as a selectable marker were methylated, and the expression of this gene was suppressed. Treatment of the calli with the cytosine methylation inhibitor 5-azacytidine led to a dramatic increase (from 3% to 96%) in the regeneration of transformed (kanamycin-resistant) shoots. A total of 150 transgenic plants were isolated, and in 17 of these expression of thelacZ reporter was detected byin situ staining. The T-DNA insert together with flanking plant DNA sequences was cloned intoEscherichia coli by plasmid rescue from some of the T₃ transformants that harbored one copy of the integrated T-DNA. Comparison of the rescued DNA with the corresponding DNA of the transgenic plant showed that most of the rescued plasmids had undergone rearrangements. These rearrangements could be totally avoided if anmcrAB (modified cytosine restriction) mutant ofE. coli was used as the recipient in plasmid rescue.     

Effect of lox-sites of the Cre lox recombination system on promoterless bar gene expression in transgenic plants

We demonstrate that localization of lox site between the right border of T-DNA and promoterless bar gene (RB-lox-bar-) led to its highly efficient expression in transgenic plants of Nicotiana tabacum and N. africana. Plasmid vectors used in gene integration experiments contained neomycin phosphotransferase II (npt II) gene under nos promoter as well. Transgenic plants were selected according to their capacity to grow on the medium with kanamycin and then they were tested on the selective medium containing phosphinothricin. 80% of transgenic plants expressed bar gene at the level similar to that in plants transformed with the bar gene under widely used constitutive promoter. Transformation of plants with the plasmid vector containing only promoterless bar gene near T-DNA right border (RB-bar-) and with the vector containing lox site and promoterless bar gene in the middle of the construction (-lox-bar-) led to obtaining no more than 4.5% of transgenic plants resistant to phosphinothricin. PCR analyses confirmed both the absence of tandem repeats and of plasmid recombination resulting in transference of bar gene under promoter in plasmid vector. Nos-terminator situated between the lox site and the right border of T-DNA did not decrease bar gene expression.
