Establishment of transgenic herbicide-resistant creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) in nonagronomic habitats

Concerns about genetically modified (GM) crops include transgene flow to compatible wild species and unintended ecological consequences of potential transgene introgression. However, there has been little empirical documentation of establishment and distribution of transgenic plants in wild populations. We present herein the first evidence for escape of transgenes into wild plant populations within the USA; glyphosate-resistant creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) plants expressing CP4 EPSPS transgenes were found outside of cultivation area in central Oregon. Resident populations of three compatible Agrostis species were sampled in nonagronomic habitats outside the Oregon Department of Agriculture control area designated for test production of glyphosate-resistant creeping bentgrass. CP4 EPSPS protein and the corresponding transgene were found in nine A. stolonifera plants screened from 20,400 samples (0.04 +/- 0.01% SE). CP4 EPSPS-positive plants were located predominantly in mesic habitats downwind and up to 3.8 km beyond the control area perimeter; two plants were found within the USDA Crooked River National Grassland. Spatial distribution and parentage of transgenic plants (as confirmed by analyses of nuclear ITS and chloroplast matK gene trees) suggest that establishment resulted from both pollen-mediated intraspecific hybridizations and from crop seed dispersal. These results demonstrate that transgene flow from short-term production can result in establishment of transgenic plants at multi-kilometre distances from GM source fields or plants. Selective pressure from direct application or drift of glyphosate herbicide could enhance introgression of CP4 EPSPS transgenes and additional establishment. Obligatory outcrossing and vegetative spread could further contribute to persistence of CP4 EPSPS transgenes in wild Agrostis populations, both in the presence or absence of herbicide selection.     

Characterization of 215 simple sequence repeat markers in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.)

Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) is a versatile, cross-pollinated, temperate and perennial turfgrass species. It occurs naturally in a wide variety of habitats and is also cultivated on golf courses, bowling greens and tennis courts worldwide. Isozymes and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) have been used to determine genetic diversity, and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPDs) were used to construct a genetic linkage map of this species. In the current report, we developed and characterized 215 unique genomic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in creeping bentgrass. The SSRs reported here are the first available markers in creeping bentgrass to date. Eight hundred and eighteen alleles were amplified by 215 SSR loci, an average of 3.72 alleles per locus. Fifty-nine per cent of those alleles segregated in a 1:1 Mendelian fashion (P > 0.05). Twenty-two per cent had a distorted segregation ratio (P ≤ 0.05). These SSR markers will be useful for assessing genetic diversity in creeping bentgrass and will be important for the development of genetic linkage maps and identifying quantitative trait loci. These markers could enhance breeding programmes by improving the efficiency of selection techniques.     

Clonal response to cold tolerance in creeping bentgrass and role of proline-associated pentose phosphate pathway

Single seed origin creeping bentgrass (‘Penncross’) clonal lines were screened to find genetic heterogeneity, which reflected diversity of phenolic production linked to cold stress within a cross-pollinated cultivar. In this study, total soluble phenolic and antioxidant activity varied among 20 creeping bentgrass clonal lines, confirming wide heterogeneity in this cross-pollinated species. Correlations between phenolic content and proline-associated pentose phosphate pathway were also found among the clonal lines. The active metabolic role of proline in cellular metabolic adjustment to cold stress and its support for likely energy synthesis via mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation was inferred in creeping bentgrass clonal lines based on the activity of proline dehydrogenase. Results of photochemical efficiency of these clonal lines after cold temperature treatment (4 °C) also indicated a close association between stress tolerance and proline-associated pentose phosphate pathway regulation for phenolic biosynthesis and antioxidant response. This study provides a sound metabolic based rationale to screen bentgrass clonal lines for enhanced cold stress tolerance.     

Somatic embryogenesis and plantlet regeneration in the genus Secale

Summary A tissue culture of five wild species of the Secale genus, i.e., S. africanum (Stapf.), S. ancestrale (Zhuk.), S. kuprianovii (Grossh), S. segetale (Rosher.), and S. vavilovii (Grossh), from immature embryos of sizes (stages) varying between 1.0 mm to 3.0mm, cultured on MS (1962) mineral nutrient medium supplemented with 0.62 mg/1–5.0 mg/1 of 2,4-D, was established. Initially various types of callus were observed and a correlation between genotype, size of explant and 2,4-D concentration was found. The best embryogenic response was observed when explants were smaller than 1.0 mm. Induction of somatic embryogenesis of 2.0 mm–3.0 mm explants required a higher concentration of 2,4-D. Most embryoids were formed in the presence of 5.0 mg/l of 2,4-D. Secale africanum and S. kuprianovii appeared to have the highest embryogenic capacity among the five investigated species. For embryoids germination to plantlets the MS medium supplemented with GA₃ and cytokinins was used. Ultimately, out of the 932 regenerants obtained 364 originated from somatic embryogenesis.Abbreviations 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - GA3 deGibberellic acid - BAP Benzylaminopurine     

Direct somatic embryogenesis and plantlet regeneration from immature leaflets in chickpea

Summary Direct somatic embryo formation and plantlet regeneration was achieved from immature leaflets of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Optimal somatic embryogenesis was obtained when immature leaflets were exposed to media supplemented with 15 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) for 7 d, to 2000 μM 2,4-D for 3 d, and to 50 μM 2,4-D for 10 d, followed by transfer onto Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium. Exposure of explants to high 2,4-D levels (200–2000 μM) for 3 d produced bottle-shaped embryos, while exposure to low 2,4-D levels (<50 μM) and 50–2000 μM for 10 d produced spherical-shaped embryos. Two percent of embryos converted into plants upon culture on MS medium containing 15 μM gibberellic acid and 1 μM 3-indolebutyric acid. All regenerated plants were phenotypically normal.     

AsHSP17, a creeping bentgrass small heat shock protein modulates plant photosynthesis and ABA‐dependent and independent signalling to attenuate plant response to abiotic stress

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones that accumulate in response to heat and other abiotic stressors. Small HSPs (sHSPs) belong to the most ubiquitous HSP subgroup with molecular weights ranging from 12 to 42 kDa. We have cloned a new sHSP gene, AsHSP17 from creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) and studied its role in plant response to environmental stress. AsHSP17 encodes a protein of 17 kDa. Its expression was strongly induced by heat in both leaf and root tissues, and by salt and abscisic acid (ABA) in roots. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants constitutively expressing AsHSP17 exhibited enhanced sensitivity to heat and salt stress accompanied by reduced leaf chlorophyll content and decreased photosynthesis under both normal and stressed conditions compared to wild type. Overexpression of AsHSP17 also led to hypersensitivity to exogenous ABA and salinity during germination and post‐germinative growth. Gene expression analysis indicated that AsHSP17 modulates expression of photosynthesis‐related genes and regulates ABA biosynthesis, metabolism and ABA signalling as well as ABA‐independent stress signalling. Our results suggest that AsHSP17 may function as a protein chaperone to negatively regulate plant responses to adverse environmental stresses through modulating photosynthesis and ABA‐dependent and independent signalling pathways.     

Evidence for plantlet regeneration via somatic embryogenesis in the grasses Echinochloa muricata and E. crus-galli var. Oryzicola

Explants for tissue culture were derived from mesocotyl plate tissue of Echinocha crus-galli var. oryzicola and E. muricata seedlings germinated under anaerobic conditions. Callus was initiated in the dark under aerobic conditions on a modified Murashige and Skoog medium plus 10 or 5 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2 mg/l of 6-benzyl-aminopurine (BAP). Transfer of this callus tissue into the light on MS medium containing low auxin (≤ 5 mg/l) readily resulted in the formation of green plantlets. Scanning electron microscopic observations revealed that regeneration occured through the formation of somatic embryros. Capacity for regeneration is maintained after repeated callus subculture. This regenerative capacity via somatic embyros provides a valuable research system for continuing the study of the metabolism and developmental physiology of Echinochloa.     

Efficient selection and regeneration of creeping bentgrass transformants following particle bombardment

We have established an efficient genetic transformation system for creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) using particle bombardment. The transformation was performed using the plasmid pZO1052 which contains the reporter β-glucuronidase (uidA) gene and the selectable marker hygromycin phosphotransferase (hph) gene. Transformed calli and plants were obtained via particle bombardment followed by selection of transformants on medium containing 200 mg/l of hygromycin. An average of 4.6 resistant colonies per bombardment were obtained. Southern analysis confirmed the integration of foreign genes in 19 of 21 putative transformants, indicating that selection by hygromycin was highly effective.

The extended serial subculture of human diploid fibroblasts on microcarriers using a new medium supplement formulation

Human diploid fibroblasts serially passaged on microcarriers exhibit a decrease in their proliferative capacity with each transfer from microcarrier-to-microcarrier. This phenomenon, which does not occur in the same time scale with cells cultured in T-flasks, has been a serious barrier to the systematic utilization of microcarriers in the scale-up of anchorage-dependent human diploid cell cultures. This decreases in cell growth with each passage is shown to be related to the serum content of the medium, with high serum concentrations resulting in a more rapid decrease in cell growth with each serial transfer. As a result, methods for reducing the serum requirement of the cells were investigated. A new medium supplement mixture, PPRF92, has been developed, which allows the serial passaging of MRC5 cells on Cytodex 1 microcarriers through as many as 13 microcarrier-to-microcarrier tranfers, and at a serum levels as low as 1%, with no decrease in the proliferative capacity of the cells until they approach their reported population doubling limit. This new supplement mixture is a significant improvement to microcarrier technology in that it enables the use of microcarriers in the early stages of inocculum build-up for the production purposes.
