农杆菌介导的大豆高频遗传转化

大豆(Glycine max(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2 mg/L 6-BA和5 mg/L的glufosinate的筛选培养基培养2周后,再转到含有0.01 mg/L TDZ和2mg/L glufosinate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.

利用GUS基因瞬时表达对大豆子叶节和胚尖转化方法的比较及优化

建立了一个综合利用CaMV 35S：：GUS基因的瞬时表达水平、表达位点和表达率来评价大豆转化效率的检测体系,并利用该体系对分别以栽培大豆（Glycine max L．）“科丰6号”、“合丰35”、“中黄13”和“垦农18”的子叶节和胚尖为外植体的农杆菌介导的2种不同转化方法进行了比较和优化。实验结果表明,不同的转化方法对大豆的品种要求不同,“科丰6号”和“合丰35”2个品种适合子叶节转化法．而“中黄13”更适于胚尖转化法。大豆萌发培养基和共培养基对转化频率的影响存在交互作用,低6-BA的萌发培养基和高6～BA的共培养基配合、或者高6-BA的萌发培养基和低6-BA的共培养基配合使用适合“科丰6号”子叶节转化法,而“中黄13”胚尖转化法要求萌发培养基和共培养基中的6-BA浓度都较高。另外,在子叶节转化系统中,6d苗龄的子叶节共培养3dGUS基因的瞬时表达率较高,而在胚尖转化系统中大豆的萌发时间对GUS基因的瞬时表达率并没有显著的影响,胚尖与农杆菌共培养较宜的时间为5d。

Improved cotyledonary node method using an alternative explant derived from mature seed for efficient Agrobacterium-mediated soybean transformation

The utility of transformation for soybean improvement requires an efficient system for production of stable transgenic lines. We describe here an improved cotyledonary node method using an alternative explant for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated soybean transformation. We use the term "half-seed" to refer to this alternative cotyledonary explant that is derived from mature seed of soybean following an overnight imbibition and to distinguish it from cotyledonary node derived from 5-7-day-old seedlings. Transformation efficiencies using half-seed explants ranged between 1.4 and 8.7% with an overall efficiency of 3.8% based on the number of transformed events that have been confirmed in the T1 generation by phenotypic assay using the herbicide Liberty (active ingredient glufosinate) and by Southern analysis. This efficiency is 1.5-fold higher than the cotyledonary node method used in our laboratory. Significantly, the half-seed system is simple and does not require deliberate wounding of explants, which is a critical and technically demanding step in the cotyledonary node method.     

Propagation of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. through in vitro shoot proliferation from cotyledonary nodes

A protocol is presented for micropropagation of an economically important timber-yielding forest tree, Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. (Sissoo). Multiple shoots were induced from cotyledonary nodes derived from 1-week-old axenic seedlings on Murashige and Skoog's medium containing either N ⁶-benzyladenine (BA), kinetin (Kn), isopentenyladenine (2iP) or thidiazuron (TDZ), with BA being the most effective growth regulator. High-frequency shoot proliferation (99%) and maximum number of shoots per explant (7.9 shoots) were recorded with BA at an optimum level of 8.9 μM. Concentrations of all cytokinins tested above the optimum level markedly reduced the frequency of shoot proliferation. A proliferating shoot culture was established by repeatedly subculturing the original cotyledonary node on shoot multiplication medium after each harvest of the newly formed shoots. Primary shoots were multiplied as nodal explants, and from each stem node 2 or 3 shoots developed. Thus, 60–70 shoots were obtained in 3 months from a single cotyledonary node. About 91% of the shoots developed roots following transfer to half-strength MS medium containing a combination of 5.7 μM indole-3-acetic acid, 4.9 μM indole-3-butyric acid and 5.3 μM indole-3-propionic acid. Eighty percent of the plantlets were successfully acclimatized and established in soil. Received: 1 October 1997 / Revision received: 31 March 1998 / Accepted: 7 April 1998     

A multi-needle-assisted transformation of soybean cotyledonary node cells

A new and simple method for wounding cotyledonary node cells of soybean [Glycine max (L) Merrill] was developed for obtaining a high frequency of transformants. Soybean seeds were germinated for 1 day, and the cotyledonary node cells of half-seeds were wounded mechanically by using a multi-needle consisting of thin 30 fibers. The wounded half-seeds were inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens cells harboring a recombinant DNA that contained the bar and sgfp genes conferring phosphinothricin (PPT)-resistance and green fluorescent protein (GFP) activity, respectively. The inoculated explants were selected on medium containing 5 or 3 mg PPT/l. The transformation efficiency of soybean was up to 12%. Polymerase chain reaction and genomic Southern blot analysis confirmed stable integration of the transgenes in the genome of the PPT-resistant plants. GFP analysis revealed that the transgenes were highly expressed in the plantlets. Adult plants were resistant to 100 mg PPT/l applied on the leaves, demonstrating their herbicide-resistance.An erratum to this article can be found at     

Genetic transformation and regeneration of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Sesbania drummondii</Emphasis> using cotyledonary nodes

Sesbania drummondii (Rydb.) Cory is a source for phytopharmaceuticals. It also hyperaccumulates several toxic heavy metals. Development of an efficient gene transfer method is an absolute requirement for the genetic improvement of this plant with more desirable traits due to limitations in conventional breeding methods. A simple protocol was developed for Agrobacterium-mediated stable genetic transformation of Sesbania. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA 101 containing the vector pCAMBIA 1305.1 having hptII and GUS plus genes was used for the gene transfer experiments. Evaluation of various parameters was carried out to assess the transformation frequency by GUS expression analysis. High transformation frequency was achieved by using 7-day-old precultured cotyledonary node (CN) explants. Further, the presence of acetosyringone (150 μM), infection of explants for 30–45 min and 3 days of cocultivation proved to be critical factors for greatly improving the transformation efficiency. Stable transformation of S. drummondii was achieved, and putative transgenic shoots were obtained on medium supplemented with hygromycin (25 mg l⁻¹). GUS histochemical analysis of the putative transgenic tissues further confirmed the transformation event. Genomic Southern blot analysis was performed to verify the presence of transgenes and their stable integration. A transformation frequency of 4% was achieved for CN explants using this protocol.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">In vitro</Emphasis> propagation of northern red oak (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Quercus rubra</Emphasis> L.)

In vitro propagation of northern red oak (Quercus rubra) shoots was successful from cotyledonary node explants excised from 8-wk-old in vitro grown seedlings. Initially, four shoots per explant were obtained on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4.4 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA), 0.45 μM thidiazuron (TDZ), and 500 mg l⁻¹ casein hydrolysate (CH) with a regeneration frequency of 64.7% after 3 wk. Subculturing explants (after harvesting shoots) to fresh treatment medium significantly increased shoot bud regeneration (16.6 buds per explant), but the buds failed to develop into shoots. A higher percentage (73.3%) of the explants regenerated four shoots per explant on woody plant medium (WPM) supplemented with 4.4 μM BA, 0.29 μM gibberellic acid (GA₃), and 500 mg l⁻¹ CH after 3 wk. Explants subcultured to fresh treatment medium after harvesting shoots significantly increased shoot regeneration (16 shoots per explant). Shoot elongation was achieved (4 cm) when shoots were excised and cultured on WPM supplemented with 0.44 μM BA and 0.29 μM GA₃. In vitro regenerated shoots were rooted on WPM supplemented with 4.9 μM indole-3-butyric acid. A higher percentage regeneration response and shoot numbers per explant were recorded on WPM supplemented with BA and GA₃, than on MS medium containing BA and TDZ. Lower concentrations of BA and GA₃ were required for shoot elongation and prevention of shoot tip necrosis. Each cotyledonary node yielded approximately 20 shoots within 12 wk. Rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatized.     

Rapid plant regeneration through <Emphasis Type=Italic>in vitro</Emphasis> axillary shoot proliferation of butterfly pea (<Emphasis Type=Italic>Clitoria ternatea</Emphasis> L.)—a twinning legume

This study describes a reproducible protocol for rapid mass propagation of a multipurpose legume, Clitoria ternatea L., using cotyledonary node explants derived from axenic seedlings. Multiple shoots were induced in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with N ⁶-benzyladenine (BA), zeatin riboside, or thidiazuron. N ⁶-Benzyladenine at 1.0 mg l⁻¹ (4.44 μM) was most effective for shoot proliferation. Multiple shoots were also induced in nodal segments of in vitro-raised shoots grown on MS medium containing 1.0 mg l⁻¹ (4.44 μM) of BA. Rooting was best induced in shoots grown on half-strength MS medium with 0.25 mg l⁻¹ (1.42 μM) of indole-3-butyric acid. Plants were acclimatized in vermicompost and established in soil where they flowered and formed mature seeds.     

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Influencing micropropagation in Clitoria ternatea L. through the manipulation of TDZ levels and use of different explant types

A comparative performance of two explants types (CN and Nodal) for theirefficiency to induce multiple shoot regeneration in Clitoriaternatea has been carried out. Thidiazuron (TDZ) in differentconcentrations (0.05–2.5 μM) was used as a supplement to the Murashige and Skoog’s(MS) basal media. Explant type apart, two factors viz. concentration and exposureduration to TDZ played an important role in affecting multiple shoot regeneration.Cotyledonary node explants produced the best results at 0.1 μM TDZ, while in nodalexplants the highest rate of shoot formation was achieved on MS medium supplementedwith 1.0 μM TDZ. In both the explants, shoot multiplication increased when theregenerated shoots were subcultured on hormone free MS medium after 4 weeks ofexposure to TDZ. Among the two, cotyledonary node explants produced considerablyhigher number of shoots at a comparatively lower concentration of TDZ than nodalexplants. The regenerated shoots rooted best on MS medium containing 1.0 μMindole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and were successfully established in pots containinggarden soil with 88 % survival rate. All the regenerated plants showed normalmorphology and growth characteristics.     

Development of a highly efficient, repetitive system of organogenesis in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr).

A highly efficient, repetitive system of organogenesis was developed in soybean. Seeds of soybean cv. White hilum pretreated with TDZ formed multiple bud tissue(s) (MBT) at the cotyledonary nodes. MBT initiation occurred only if the axillary buds were not removed from the cotyledonary node. The best MBT formation was achieved by pretreating the seeds for 1 week on medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/l TDZ, followed by culture of the cotyledonary node on medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l BA for 4 weeks. Culture of the MBT on medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/l TDZ resulted in the proliferation of MBT. MBT was maintained in this way for 12 months. Three hundred thirty six shoots were obtained when 1 g of MBT was subcultured on medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l BA. Plants were rooted on medium without growth regulators. The regenerated plants grew normally in the greenhouse. Unfortunately, they did not set seeds because of the long-day conditions during growth. This system was successfully applied in three other genotypes.
