Aspergillus terreus produces a unique enzyme, blasticidin S deaminase, which catalyzes the deamination of blasticidin S (BS), and in consequence confers high resistance to the antibiotic. A cDNA clone derived from the structural gene for BS deaminase (BSD) was isolated by transforming Escherichia coli with an Aspergillus cDNA expression library and directly selecting for the ability to grow in the presence of the antibiotic. The complete nucleotide sequene of BSD was determined and proved to contain an open reading frame of 393 bp, encoding a polypeptide of 130 amino acids. Comparison of its nulceotide sequence with that of bsr, the BS deaminase gene isolated from Bacillus cereus, indicated no homology and a large difference in codon usage. The activity of BSD expressed in E. coli was easily quantified by an assay based on spectrophotometric recording. The BSD gene was placed in a shuttle vector for Schizosaccharomyces pombe, downstream of the SV40 early region promoter, and this allowed direct selection with BS at high frequency, following transformation into the yeast. The BSD gene was also employed as a selectable marker for Pyricularia oryzae, which could not be transformed to BS resistance by bsr. These results promise that the BSD gene will be useful as a new dominant selectable marker for eukaryotes.  相似文献

We investigated selective culturing conditions for the production of transgenic soybeans. In this culturing system, we used the acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicide-resistance gene derived from rice (Os-mALS gene) as a selectable marker gene instead of that derived from bacteria, which interfered with the cultivation and practical usage of transgenic crops. T1 soybeans grown from one regenerated plant after selection of the ALS-targeting pyrimidinyl carboxy (PC) herbicide bispyribac-sodium (BS) exhibited herbicide resistance, and the introduction and expression of the Os-mALS gene were confirmed by genetic analysis. The selective culturing system promoted by BS herbicide, in which the Os-mALS gene was used as a selectable marker, was proved to be applicable to the production of transgenic soybeans, despite the appearance of escaped soybean plants that did not contain the Os-mALS transgene.  相似文献

Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused primarily by Fusarium graminearum, is a major disease problem in wheat (Triticum aestivum). Genetic engineering holds significant potential to enhance FHB resistance in wheat. Due to the requirement of screening for FHB resistance on flowers at anthesis, the number of screens carried out in a year is limited. Our objective was to evaluate the feasibility of using the rapid-maturing dwarf wheat cultivar Apogee as an alternative genotype for transgenic FHB resistance research. Our transformation efficiency (number of transgenic plants/number of embryos) for Apogee was 1.33%. Apogee was also found to exhibit high FHB susceptibility and reached anthesis within 4 weeks. Interestingly, microsatellite marker haplotype analysis of the chromosome 3BS FHB resistant quantitative trait locus (QTL) region indicated that this region maybe deleted in Apogee. Our results indicate that Apogee is particularly well suited for accelerating transgenic FHB resistance research and transgenic wheat research in general. C.A. Mackintosh and D.F. Garvin contributed equally to the article and should be considered co-first authors  相似文献

Cymbidium Mosaic Virus (CymMV) and Erwinia carotovora have been reported to cause severe damage to orchid plants. To enhance the resistance of orchids to both viral and bacterial phytopathogens, gene stacking was applied on Phalaenopsis orchid by double transformation. PLBs originally transformed with CymMV coat protein cDNA (CP) were then re-transformed with sweet pepper ferredoxin-like protein cDNA (Pflp) by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, to enable expression of dual (viral and bacterial) disease resistant traits. A non-antibiotic selection procedure in the second transformation minimized the potential rate of ‘stacking’ antibiotic genes in the orchid gene pool. Transgene integration in transgenic Phalaenopsis lines was confirmed by Southern blot analysis for both CP and pflp genes. Expression of transgenes was detected by northern blot analysis, and disease resistant assays revealed that transgenic lines exhibited enhanced resistance to CymMV and E. carotovora. This is the first report describing a transgenic Phalaenopsis orchid with dual resistance to phytopathogens.  相似文献

DNA methylation is an epigenetic phenomenon associated with gene silencing in transgenic plants, retrotransposons and virus infection. Expression analysis of specific genes in Arabidopsis methylation mutants showed an association between DNA methylation and gene expression. To determine whether DNA methylation is associated with resistance to black Sigatoka (BS) andMycosphaerella fijiensis (MF), we used anin vitro assay of mesophyll cell suspensions of reference cultivars with known resistance to BS. Methylation of CCmGG sequences was evaluated by methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism (MSAP) markers of reference cultivars and somaclonal variants to identify molecular markers associated with resistance to MF toxins and BS. Four MSAP markers were associated with resistance (MAR) to MF toxins. The MSAP markers show a high degree of sequence similarity with resistance gene analog and with retrotransposon sequences. The MSAP markers are useful as molecular indicators of tolerance to MF toxins and resistance to BS.  相似文献

Bispyribac sodium (BS), a pyrimidinyl carboxy herbicide, is a well-known inhibitor of acetolactate synthase (ALS) activity. ALS is an enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway for branched-chain amino acids. A mutant form of rice ALS (OsmALS [W548L/S627I]) that confers resistance to BS can be used as an in vitro selection marker gene for plant transformation. Since indica and indica-derived cultivars are thought to have lower BS sensitivity than japonica rice, the application of BS as a selectable reagent for genetic transformation in indica and indica-derived cultivars is more challenging than for japonica cultivars. In this study, callus and seedlings of eight different rice cultivars (five indica-derived cultivars, two indica cultivars and one japonica cultivar) were tested for BS sensitivity. Our study indicates for the first time that callus shows a higher sensitivity to BS than seedlings in indica and indica-derived cultivars. We used BS with OsmALS [W548L/S627I] to select transformed calli, and transgenic rice plants from indica and indica-derived cultivars were successfully obtained.  相似文献

The protein encoded by the activated disease resistance 1-like1 (ADR1-L1) gene (locus name, At4g33300) belongs to the activated disease resistance 1 (ADR1) family of coiled-coil nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat-type disease resistance proteins. This family contains four proteins and they have specific features in their amino acid sequences. It has been reported that ADR1 protein belongs to the ADR1 family, which is related to not only defense response but also drought tolerance. We found that transgenic plants overexpressing the ADR1-L1 gene showed a dwarf phenotype and morphological change in leaves. The expression levels of defense-related genes and the resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 were increased in transgenic plants. However, enhancement of drought tolerance and activation of abiotic response genes were not observed. When the growth temperature was changed from 22°C to 28°C, the expression of defense-related genes and the enhancement of resistance to a bacterial pathogen were suppressed and the dwarf phenotype and morphological change of leaves recovered.  相似文献

Development of effective disease-resistance to a broad-range of pathogens in crops usually requires tremendous resources and effort when traditional breeding approaches are taken. Genetic engineering of disease-resistance in crops has become popular and valuable in terms of cost and efficacy. Due to long-lasting and broad-spectrum of effectiveness against pathogens, employment of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) for the genetic engineering of crop disease-resistance is of particular interest. In this report, we explored the potential of using SAR-related genes for the genetic engineering of enhanced resistance to multiple diseases in tomato. The Arabidopsis NPR1 (nonexpresser of PR genes) gene was introduced into a tomato cultivar, which possesses heat-tolerance and resistance to tomato mosaic virus (ToMV). The transgenic lines expressing NPR1 were normal as regards overall morphology and horticultural traits for at least four generations. Disease screens against eight important tropical diseases revealed that, in addition to the innate ToMV-resistance, the tested transgenic lines conferred significant level of enhanced resistance to bacterial wilt (BW) and Fusarium wilt (FW), and moderate degree of enhanced resistance to gray leaf spot (GLS) and bacterial spot (BS). Transgenic lines that accumulated higher levels of NPR1 proteins exhibited higher levels and a broader spectrum of enhanced resistance to the diseases, and enhanced disease-resistance was stably inherited. The spectrum and degree of these NPR1-transgenic lines are more significant compared to that of transgenic tomatoes reported to date. These transgenic lines may be further explored as future tomato stocks, aiming at building up resistance to a broader spectrum of diseases.  相似文献

A major pest of chickpea, Helicoverpa armigera, can be controlled by expressing genes from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis as an environmentally compatible option. Here we show that transgenic chickpeas containing a cry1Ac gene conferred a high degree of resistance to H. armigera. The Agrobacterium binary vector contained the nptII gene as the selectable marker and cry1Ac gene driven by the Arabidopsis rubisco small subunit gene (ats1A) promoter. We generated 54 and 47 independent transgenic lines using truncated (trcry1Ac) and full-length versions of the cry1Ac (flcry1Ac) gene, respectively. Of these lines, twelve transmitted the trcry1Ac transgene to the next generation at a 3:1 ratio, while only 8 flcry1Ac lines segregated in a 3:1 ratio. Five lines expressed trCry1Ac protein > 50 μg/g fresh weight, however, only one line accumulated about 30 μg/g flCry1Ac protein. Such high levels of trCry1Ac protein have not been reported before in chickpea. When trCry1Ac lines were challenged to whole plant bioassays in the greenhouse, lowest pod damage was observed in BS100B (1.4%) followed by BS81P (4.4%), and BS100E (6.2%) compared to the parental line (49.9%). The phenotypes of the lines expressing high levels of Cry1Ac protein were indistinguishable from their null segregants and controls. Thus, trCry1Ac lines could be suitable for crossing with our existing Cry2Aa lines for generation of a pyramided Bt chickpea for enhanced insect resistance management in the field.

Drought is one of the most severe stresses which limit sugarcane production in China. ATP citrate lyase (ACL) is a major enzyme responsible for the production of acetyl-CoA in cytoplasm and plays an important role in plant metabolism and stress response. In this study, sugarcane ACL gene SoACLA-1 was cloned. The plant overexpression vector of SoACLA-1 was built and transformed into sugarcane calli by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, and PCR analysis confirmed that SoACLA-1 gene had been stably present in the T0, T1, and T2 generations of the transgenic sugarcane. In order to evaluate the drought resistance of the transgenic lines and verify the function of SoACLA-1 gene in the transgenic sugarcane, T1 generation of the SoACLA-1 transgenic sugarcane lines was used as the material to investigate the physiological and biochemical characteristics at 0 day, 3 days, 6 days, and 9 days after water stress and rewatering for 3 days. Comprehensive evaluation of four indicators (chlorophyll, malondialdehyde, proline, soluble sugar) related to drought resistance was done with membership fuzzy function method. The results showed that the drought resistance of five transgenic sugarcane lines from strong to weak, in turn, was RT2?>?RT4?>?RT3?>?RT1?>?WT, and the recovery ability after drought, in turn, was RT1?>?RT2?>?RT4?>?RT3?>?WT. The T2 generation of the SoACLA-1 transgenic sugarcane lines was used to analyze the physiological and biochemical changes and the expression of drought-related genes under water stress. The results showed that the transgenic sugarcane lines were more tolerant to drought as compared with the wild-type plants. Our findings indicated that SoACLA-1 gene plays an important role as a positive factor in response to water stress, and overexpression of SoACLA-1 can enhance drought tolerance in transgenic sugarcane plants.

A rice chitinase cDNA (RCC2) driven by the CaMV 35S promoter was introduced into cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) through Agrobacterium mediation. More than 200 putative transgenic shoots were regenerated and grown on MS medium supplemented with 100 mg/l kanamycin. Sixty elongated shoots were examined for the presence of the integrated RCC2 gene and subsequently confirmed to have it. Of these, 20 were tested for resistance against gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) by infection with the conidia: 15 strains out of the 20 independent shoots exhibited a higher resistance than the control (non-transgenic plants). Three transgenic cucumber strains (designated CR29, CR32 and CR33) showed the highest resistance against B. cinerea: the spread of disease was inhibited completely in these strains. Chitinase gene expression in highly resistant transgenic strains (CR32 and CR33) was compared to that of a susceptible transgenic strain (CR20) and a control. Different responses for disease resistance were observed among the highly resistant strains. CR33 inhibited appressoria formation and penetration of hyphae. Although CR32 permitted penetration of hyphae, invasion of the infection hyphae was restricted. Furthermore, progenies of CR32 showed a segregation ratio of 3:1 (resistant:susceptible). As the disease resistance against gray mold was confirmed to be inheritable, these highly resistant transgenic cucumber strains would serve as good breeding materials for disease resistance.

Homoeologous group 1 chromosomes of wheat contain important genes that confer resistance to leaf, stem and stripe rusts, powdery mildew and Russian wheat aphid. A disease resistance gene analog encoding nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat (NBS-LRR), designated RgaYr10, was previously identified at the stripe rust resistant locus, Yr10, located on chromosome 1BS distal to the storage protein, Gli-B1 locus. RgaYr10 identified gene members in the homoeologous region of chromosome 1DS cosegregating with the leaf rust resistance gene, Lr21, which originally was transferred from a diploid D genome progenitor. Four RgaYr10 gene members were isolated from chromosome 1DS and compared to two gene members previously isolated from the chromosome 1BS homeologue. NBS-LRR genes tightly linked to stripe rust resistance gene Yr10 on chromosome 1BS were closely related in sequence and structure to NBS-LRR genes tightly linked to leaf rust resistance gene Lr21 located within the homoeologous region on chromosome 1DS. The level of sequence homology was similar between NBS-LRR genes that were isolated from different genomes as compared to genes from the same genome. Electronic Publication  相似文献

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is an important cultivated crop, which requires much water during its growth, and drought seriously affects soybean yields. Studies have shown that the expression of small heat shock proteins can enhance drought resistance, cold resistance and salt resistance of plants. In this experiment, soybean GmHsps_p23-like gene was successfully cloned by RT-PCR, the protein encoded by the GmHsps_p23-like gene was subjected to bioinformatics analysis, and the pCAMBIA3301-GmHsps_p23-like overexpression vector and pCBSG015-GmHsps_p23-like gene editing vector were constructed. Agrobacterium-mediated method was used to transform soybeans to obtain positive plants. RT-PCR detection, rehydration experiment and drought resistance physiological and biochemical index detection were performed on the T2 generation positive transgenic soybean plants identified by PCR and Southern hybridization. The results showed that the overexpression vector plant GmHsps_p23-like gene expression increased. After rehydration, the transgenic overexpression plants returned to normal growth, and the damage to the plants was low. After drought stress, the SOD and POD activities and the PRO content of the transgenic overexpression plants increased, while the MDA content decreased. The reverse was true for soybean plants with genetically modified editing vectors. The drought resistance of the overexpressed soybeans under drought stress was higher than that of the control group, and had a stronger drought resistance. It showed that the expression of soybean GmHsps_p23-like gene can improve the drought resistance of soybean. The cloning and functional verification of soybean GmHsps_p23-like gene had not been reported yet. This is the first time that PCR technology has been used to amplify the soybean GmHsps_p23-like gene and construct an expression vector for this gene. This research has laid the foundation for transgenic technology to improve plant drought resistance and cultivate new drought-resistant transgenic soybean varieties.  相似文献
