Metabolic engineering of plant secondary metabolite pathways for the production of fine chemicals

The technology of large-scale plant cell culture is feasible for the industrial production of plant-derived fine chemicals. Due to low or no productivity of the desired compounds the economy is only in a few cases favorable. Various approaches are studied to increase yields, these encompass screening and selection of high producing cell lines, media optimization, elicitation, culturing of differentiated cells (organ cultures), immobilization. In recent years metabolic engineering has opened a new promising perspectives for improved production in a plant or plant cell culture.     

Green light for the cell cycle

In recent years, considerable progress has been made in unraveling the control mechanisms operating on the plant cell cycle and most of the key regulators have now been identified, including cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), cyclins, CDK-inhibitory proteins, the WEE kinase and proteins of the retinoblastoma-related protein (RBR)/E2F/DP pathway. The review discusses recent developments in our understanding of the plant cell cycle machinery and highlights the role of the cell cycle in plant development.     

Use of a non-volatile thiocarbamate to select for herbicide-tolerant tobacco cell lines

A method is described for using the non-volatile thiocarbamate R-14705 (S-3-methylpyridyl N,N-di-butyl-thiocarbamate) to select for herbicide-tolerant tobacco in cell culture. Properties of two selected cell lines are described. Both lines were stably resistant to R-14705 in the absence of continuous selection, and showed significant cross-resistance to commercial thiocarbamate herbicides. The concept of using analogs to solve problems caused by physical properties of a potential selective agent is discussed.     

Bioconversion potential of plant enzymes for the production of pharmaceuticals

Plant enzymes are able to catalyze regio- and stereospecific reactions. Freely suspended and immobilized plant cells as well as enzyme preparations can therefore be applied for the production of pharmaceuticals by bioconversion, as such or in combination with chemical syntheses. This review paper deals with bioconversions of added precursors from natural or synthetic origin by several biocatalytic systems.

Expression of the plant cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor ICK1 affects cell division, plant growth and morphology

The plant CDK inhibitor ICK1 was identified previously from Arabidopis thaliana with its inhibitory activity characterized in vitro. ICK1 displayed several structural and functional features that are distinct from known animal CDK inhibitors. Despite the initial characterization, there is no information on the functions of any plant CDK inhibitor in plants. To gain insight into ICK1 functions in vivo and the role of cell division during plant growth and development, transgenic plants were generated expressing ICK1 driven by the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. In comparison to control plants, growth was significantly inhibited in transgenic 35S-ICK1 plants, with some plants weighing <10% of wild-type plants at the 3 week stage. Most organs of 35S-ICK1 plants were smaller. There were also modifications in plant morphology such as shape and serration of leaves and petals. The changes were so drastic that 35S-ICK1 plants with strong phenotype no longer resembled wild-type plants morphologically. Analyses showed that increased ICK1 expression resulted in reduced CDK activity and reduced the number of cells in these plants. Cells in 35S-ICK1 plants were larger than corresponding cells in control plants. These results demonstrate that ICK1 acts as a CDK inhibitor in the plant, and the inhibition of cell division by ICK1 expression has profound effects on plant growth and development. They also suggest that alterations of plant organ shape can be achieved by restriction of cell division.     

农杆菌属介导的植物细胞遗传转化研究现状

自20实际70年代末提出农杆菌属介导产生转基因植物以来,已相继有很多农作物和园艺植物被农杆菌成功转化。在一些发达国家已有大量种植的转基因经济作物如玉米、大豆、棉花、马铃薯、番茄等。但越来越多的经济作物以及园林树木和园艺植物对粒子轰击等转化方法无效或效果不佳,因而农杆菌因其介导的遗传转化率较高就越来越受到重视。但是,农杆菌介导的转基因在表达稳定性和可预见性方面仍然存在诸多问题。本文介绍了有关农杆菌分子生物学的基础研究及提高农杆菌介导的遗传转化效率的研究进展。

A new method for the production of fine plant cell suspension cultures

Fine, almost single cell, suspensions were produced from both existing suspension cultures containing large cell clumps and from chopped callus pieces by immobilizing the cells in 4–5 mm diameter calcium alginate beads. The immobilized cells continued to divide inside the beads and at the bead surface, and after 2–3 weeks' culture, fine cell suspensions were formed as a result of loss of the surface cells into the medium. After removal of the cell suspensions by filtration, subsequent culture of the beads in fresh medium resulted in the further production of homogeneous cell suspensions after 1–2 weeks. In this way an almost continuous supply of fine cell suspensions could be obtained from cultures containing large clumps of cells. The cells produced by this method remained in this state for at least one culture period, although in some instances repeated subculture resulted in an increase in the size of cell groups. The technique has been successfully applied to the production of fine cell suspensions ofCatharanthus roseus, Nicotiana tabacum andDaucus carota.     

Cell wall integrity: Targeted post-synthetic modifications to reveal its role in plant growth and defense against pathogens

The plant cell wall, a dynamic network of polysaccharides and glycoproteins of significant compositional and structural complexity, functions in plant growth, development and stress responses. In recent years, the existence of plant cell wall integrity (CWI) maintenance mechanisms has been demonstrated, but little is known about the signaling pathways involved, or their components. Examination of key mutants has shed light on the relationships between cell wall remodeling and plant cell responses, indicating a central role for the regulatory network that monitors and controls cell wall performance and integrity. In this review, we present a short overview of cell wall composition and discuss post-synthetic cell wall modification as a valuable approach for studying CWI perception and signaling pathways.     

Cultivation of transgenicNicotiana tabacum suspension cells in bioreactors for the production of mGM-CSF

TransgenicNicotiana tabacum cells were cultivated for the production of murine granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) in both a stirred, tank biore|actor and an airlift bioreactor with draft tube. Cell growth and mGM-CSF production in the airlift bioreactor were found to be better than those achieved in the stirred tank bioreactor. In the airlift bioreactor. 9.0 g/L of cells and 2.2 ng/mL of mGM-CSF were obtained (11.0 g/L and 2.4 ng/mL, respectively in shake flasks). Although the lag period was prolonged and mGM-CSF production was lowered by 33% in the stirred tank bioreactor as compared to the control culture, the maximum cell density was increased up to 12.0 g/L due to better mixing by agitation at the higher cell density.

Medicinal plant cell suspension cultures: pharmaceutical applications and high-yielding strategies for the desired secondary metabolites

The development of plant tissue (including organ and cell) cultures for the production of secondary metabolites has been underway for more than three decades. Plant cell cultures with the production of high-value secondary metabolites are promising potential alternative sources for the production of pharmaceutical agents of industrial importance. Medicinal plant cell suspension cultures (MPCSC), which are characterized with the feature of fermentation with plant cell totipotency, could be a promising alternative “chemical factory”. However, low productivity becomes an inevitable obstacle limiting further commercialization of MPCSC and the application to large-scale production is still limited to a few processes. This review generalizes and analyzes the recent progress of this bioproduction platform for the provision of medicinal chemicals and outlines a range of trials taken or underway to increase product yields from MPCSC. The scale-up of MPCSC, which could lead to an unlimited supply of pharmaceuticals, including strategies to overcome and solution of the associated challenges, is discussed.

Expansins in Plant Growth and Development: an Update on an Emerging Topic

Abstract: Expansins are a class of proteins identified by their ability to induce the extension of isolated plant cell walls. Expansins are encoded by an extensive multigene family in higher plants, several members of which have been shown to be expressed in a tissue-specific manner. Besides playing an apparently key role in wall expansion, and hence in cell growth, expansins have been implicated in an increasing number of processes during plant growth and development. These include: leaf organogenesis, fruit softening, and wall disassembly. A second class of closely related proteins (referred to as β-expansins) has been identified. Other recent advances in expansin research include the recovery of transgenic plants with altered level of expansins, and the production of recombinant expansins in het-erologous expression systems.
