影响绿豆下胚轴原生质体遗传转化的因素

采用共培养法和ＰＥＧ法将外源基因导入绿豆下胚轴原生质体中,得到转化愈伤组织。根癌农杆菌经乙酰丁香酮等诱导物质以及低ｐＨ,低ＰＯ４＾３－预培养后,细菌Ｔ－ＤＮＡ的转移受到促进,ＧＵＳ基因表达活性明显提高。在ＰＥＧ介导的绿豆原生质体转化中,高Ｃａ＾２＋／ｐＨ有利于外源ＤＮＡ转移到植物细胞,ＧＵＳ活性较高。此外,质粒ＤＮＡ浓度和启动子类型均对外源基因的转移和表达有一定影响。

Comparative analysis of free DNA delivery and expression into protoplasts of Panicum maximum Jacq. (Guinea grass) by electroporation and polyethylene glycol

Relative levels of gene expression were studied in protoplasts isolated from two cell lines of Panicum maximum following DNA delivery by electroporation and polyethylene glycol (PEG). Gene expression was evaluated by assaying for chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) activity expressed by the CaMV 35S promoter with a nopaline synthase 3' polyadenylation signal, approximately 48 hours after DNA delivery. The expression of the CAT gene was slightly higher in electroporated protoplasts in comparison to PEG mediated delivery. However, PEG treated protoplasts showed higher plating efficiency. The effect of different salts and the molecular weight of PEG used on gene expression was also studied.     

PEG-mediated plastid transformation: a new system for transient gene expression assays in chloroplasts

Summary Evidence is presented for the introduction of functional copies of the GUS-reporter gene with plastid regulatory signals into chloroplasts after treatment of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia leaf protoplasts with PEG. GUS-activity is found in cells derived from protoplasts treated with PEG in the presence of plasmids harbouring the GUS-gene under the control of plastid promoter and terminator signals (plastid-specific reporter gene constructions). The activity is maintained after chloroplast isolation and incubation with the protease thermolysin under conditions sufficient to completely remove the much higher transient nuclear/cytoplasmic expression of a GUS-gene carrying the CaMV 35S-promoter. Likewise, GUS-activity derived from a plasmid coding for the nuclear/cytoplasmic expression of the reporter gene with a plastid transit presequence is also maintained after these procedures. These results indicate that PEG-treatment is a suitable protocol by which to introduce DNA into chloroplasts for the study of transient gene expression.     

Transient gene expression in aleurone protoplasts isolated from developing caryopses of barley and wheat

Methods have been developed for the isolation of aleurone protoplasts from developing caryopses of Hordeum vulgare and Triticum aestivum in order to study transient expression of introduced genes. Chimaeric gene constructs were introduced into aleurone protoplasts by polyethylene glycol (PEG). Transient expression directed by the 35S promoter from cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) of the reporter gene encoding chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) was detected in aleurone protoplasts from developing barley and wheat grains. Using a similar construct, CAT activity increased when the alcohol dehydrogenase intron 1 fragment from maize was ligated between the 35S promoter and the CAT coding region. The demonstration of transient expression in protoplasts from developing aleurone layers indicates that they may be useful for investigating tissue and developmental control of genes coding for cereal seed proteins.     

Preparation of leaf mesophyll protoplasts for transient gene expression in Brachypodium distachyon

Transient gene expression systems using protoplasts have been widely used for rapid functional characterization of genes in many plant species. Brachypodium distachyon has recently been employed as a model plant for studies on biofuel grass species and grass crops because of its small genome size, short life-span, and availability of efficient transformation systems. Here, we report the an efficient protocol for the preparation of leaf mesophyll protoplasts from Brachypodium seedlings. We also modified the polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated transformation procedure to optimize experimental conditions, such as duration of enzyme digestion, PEG incubation time, and plasmid DNA concentration and size. The green fluorescence protein (GFP)- and ??-glucuronidase (GUS)-coding genes were used as reporters to evaluate the feasibility of this transient expression system. We found that the yield of viable protoplasts was highest after 3 h of enzymatic digestion. Viability of enzyme-digested protoplasts was moderately maintained up to 24 h in Mmg preincubation solution. In addition, the highest transient expression of reporter genes was obtained when protoplasts were transformed with 20 ??g of plasmid DNA and incubated for 16 h. Together with the recent completion of the Brachypodium genome sequence, the Brachypodium transient expression system using leaf mesophyll protoplasts can be widely used for cellular, molecular, and biochemical studies of genes involved in carbon metabolism and signaling pathways mediating intrinsic and environmental cues.     

Transient gene expression and influence of promoters on foreign gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary The influence of a variety of parameters was investigated on polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated transient nptII and gus gene expression in mesophyll protoplasts of Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype, Estland, in order to develop a suitable transient gene expression system. The investigation revealed that a combination of 20% PEG, incubation time of 15 min, 20–30 μg plasmid concentration per ml along with 50 μg carrier DNA m/l, and inclusion of calcium and magnesium ions during transfection followed by a culture period of 24 h registered maximum NPTII activity. Of the various promoters used for driving expression of the gus gene, the ubiquitin promoter from A. thaliana was the most efficient followed by 35S promoter of the CaMV and the actin promoter of rice. For comparison, similar studies in protoplasts of rice, wheat, and Brassica also revealed the differences in strength of these promoters. Arabidopsis ubiquitin promoter was the most effective in Brassica, and the rice actin1 promoter was the most effective in rice and wheat.     

Efficient transient expression and transformation of PEG-mediated gene uptake into mesophyll protoplasts of pepper (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Capsicum annuum</Emphasis> L.)

PEG-mediated transformation was used for gene delivery and evaluation of various parameters affecting the transient expression of a gene for ß-glucuronidase (gus) in mesophyll protoplasts of Capsicum annuum. Transient expression was found to be dependent on PEG concentration and exposure time of plasmid DNA to protoplasts as well as the amount of plasmid DNA. Maximum GUS activity was obtained when protoplasts were applied to 40% concentration and molecular weight was 6,000 of PEG solution with 30 min of exposure time. Protoplasts of pepper were transformed with a vector, pCAMBIA::Ac, which contained a pCAMBIA1302 T-DNA vector carrying a maize transposable element, Ac (activator), a selection marker HPT (hygromycin phosphotransferase), and a GFP-coding region driven by the 35S promoter in the presence of PEG. Approximately 30% of the protoplasts expressed GFP. Visibly transformed colonies were obtained from protoplasts after 2 months of culture and GFP was expressed. Southern hybridization confirmed the presence of Ac in the pepper genome.     

High level of GUS gene expression driven by pollen-specific promoters in electroporated lily pollen protoplasts

Gene constructs that contained the -glucuronidase (GUS) gene under the control of a pollen-specific Zm13 promoter from maize and a LAT52 promoter from tomato were introduced by electroporation into pollen protoplasts isolated from bicellular pollen grains of Lilium longiflorum. After 20 h in culture, the pollen protoplasts exhibited the apparent expression of GUS in a fluorometric assay. The GUS activity induced under the control of the Zm13 promoter was over 10 000 times higher than activity in the control (with no DNA or without electroporation). By contrast, the GUS gene was nearly silent in the lily microspore protoplasts and generative cell protoplasts. The GUS activity driven by the Zm13 and LAT52 promoters was also detected by a cytochemical assay. The frequency of blue-staining pollen protoplasts was about 70% in the case of the Zm13 promoter. The efficiency of gene transfer by electroporation was much higher than by particle bombardment. This protoplast-specific electroporation system is suitable for rapid and reliable examination of pollen-specific promoters, being as good as the particle bombardment system.
