The suadea salsa full-length S-adenosylmethionine synthetase (SsSAMS2) was introduced into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. The gene transformation and expression in tobacco were confirmed by PCR, RT-PCR and Northern blotting
analysis. Several transgenic lines (ST lines) overexpressing SsSAMS2 gene under the control of cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter showed more seeds number and weight, and accumulated higher
free total polyamines (PAs) than wild-type plants (WT lines) and transformants with blank vector (BT lines). Salt stress-induced
damage was attenuated in these transgenic plants, in the symptom of maintaining higher photosynthetic rate and biomass. These
results that the transgenic plants overexpressing suadea salsa SAMS2 are more tolerant to salt stress than wild-type plants suggest that PAs may play an important role in contributing salt tolerance
to plants. 相似文献

Viral pathogens, such as soybean mosaic virus (SMV), are a major constraint in soybean production and often cause significant yield loss and quality deterioration. Engineering resistance by RNAi-mediated gene silencing is a powerful strategy for controlling viral diseases. In this study, a 248-bp inverted repeat of the replicase (nuclear inclusion b, NIb) gene was isolated from the SMV SC3 strain, driven by the leaf-specific rbcS2 promoter from Phaseolus vulgaris, and introduced into soybean. The transgenic lines had significantly lower average disease indices (ranging from 2.14 to 12.35) than did the non-transformed (NT) control plants in three consecutive generations, exhibiting a stable and significantly enhanced resistance to the SMV SC3 strain under field conditions. Furthermore, seed mottling did not occur in transgenic seeds, whereas the NT plants produced ~90% mottled seeds. Virus resistance spectrum screening showed that the greenhouse-grown transgenic lines exhibited robust resistance to five SMV strains (SC3, SC7, SC15, SC18, and a recombinant SMV), bean common mosaic virus, and watermelon mosaic virus. Nevertheless, no significantly enhanced resistance to bean pod mottle virus (BPMV, Comovirus) was observed in the transgenic lines relative to their NT counterparts. Consistent with the results of resistance evaluation, the accumulation of each potyvirid (but not of BPMV) was significantly inhibited in the transgenic plants relative to the NT controls as confirmed by quantitative real-time (qRT-PCR) and double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA). These results demonstrate that robust RNAi-mediated resistance to multiple potyvirids in soybean was conferred by expressing an intron hairpin SMV NIb RNA. 相似文献

Glycinebetaine is an important quaternary ammonium compound that is produced in response to salt and other osmotic stresses in many organisms. Its synthesis requires the catalysis of betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase encoded by BADH gene that converts betaine aldehyde into glycinebetaine in some halotolerant plants. We transformed the BADH gene, cloned from Atriplex hortensis and controlled by two 35S promoters of the cauliflower mosaic virus, into a salt-sensitive tomato cultivar, Bailichun, using Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 carrying a binary vector pBin438, and using a leaf regeneration system. Polymerase chain reaction and Southern hybridization analyses demonstrated that the BADH gene had integrated into the genome of tomato. Transgenic tomato plants showed significantly higher levels of mRNA and BADH enzyme activity than wild-type plants. Observations on rooting development and relative electronic conductivity suggested that the transgenic plants exhibited tolerance to salt stress, with these plants growing normally at salt concentrations up to 120 mM. 相似文献

Transgenic Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. SR1 plants, characterized by an increase in the level of dsRNA-specific hydrolytic activity after induction by wounding, were obtained. The Solanum lycopersicum anionic peroxidase gene promoter (new for plant genetic engineering) was for the first time used for the induced expression of the target Serratia marcescens RNase III gene. Upon infection with the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), the transgenic plants of the obtained lines did not differ significantly from the control group in the level of TMV capsid protein accumulation. In general, no delay in the development of the infection symptoms was observed in transgenic plants as compared with the control group. The obtained transgenic plants represent a new model for the study of the biological role of endoribonucleases from the RNase III family, including in molecular mechanisms of resistance to pathogens. 相似文献

Amaranth is a new and promising crop for the Russian climate, notable for its well-balanced amino acid composition. Yield increase using the methods of genetic engineering is a challenging task. We generated transgenic plants of amaranth with expression of the Arabidopsis thaliana ARGOS-LIKE gene under the control of the dahlia mosaic virus promoter. We achieved 1.4% transformation effectiveness. In comparison with wild-type amaranth, we observed a 21% increase in stem length, 79% increase in leaf length, and 190% increase in fresh weight of transgenic plants. It was shown that ARGOS-LIKE gene of A. thaliana along with the dahlia mosaic virus promoter can be used to increase primarily the green weight of shoot and leaf size of amaranth. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that the late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) gene of Tamarix androssowii can enhance the drought tolerance of transgenic tobacco. In this study, the cloned LEA gene was transformed into half-high
bush Northland blueberry in order to enhance its ability to tolerate cold stress. The cephalosporin antibiotics ceftriaxone,
cefotaxime and cefazolin were used to optimize transformation of leaf explants, and kanamycin sulfate was used to select for
transgenic shoots. PCR and Southern blot analysis confirmed 8 transformants with LEA gene copy numbers ranging from 1 to 7.
The LEA chimeric gene was found to be normally transcribed in 6 transgenic lines by RT-PCR. The 8 transgenic lines were tested
for cold tolerance by measuring the activities of peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) content
and relative electrolyte leakage (REL). Overexpression of the LEA gene enhanced the activity of both POD and SOD under low
temperature stress conditions. Lipid peroxidation in the transgenic lines was significantly lower than in non-transgenic plants
after cold stress, as determined by MDA content and REL. Thus, our findings indicate that the LEA gene confers increased cold
tolerance in the Northland blueberry and implicate the metabolic pathways through which it exerts this effect. 相似文献

Salinity and drought are main threat to agriculture productivity, to avoid further losses it is necessary to improve the genetic
material of crops against these stresses In this present study, AtNHX1, a vacuolar type Na+/H+ antiporter gene driven by 35S promoter was introduced into groundnut using Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation system. The stable integration of the AtNHX1 gene was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and southern blot analysis. It was found that transgenic plants having
AtNHX1 gene are more resistant to high concentration of salt and water deprivation than the wild type plants. Salt and proline level
in the leaves of the transgenic plants were also much higher than that of wild type plants. The results showed that overexpression
of AtNHX1 gene not only improved salt tolerance but also drought tolerance in transgenic groundnut. Our results suggest that these
plants could be cultivated in salt and drought-affected soils. 相似文献

The glyoxalase system catalyzes the conversion of cytotoxic methylglyoxal to d-lactate via the intermediate S-d-lactoylglutathione. It comprises two enzymes, Glyoxalase I (Gly I) and Glyoxalase II (Gly II), and reduced glutathione which acts as a cofactor by anchoring the substrates in the active sites of the two enzymes. The overexpression of both Gly I and Gly II, either alone or in combination, has earlier been reported to confer tolerance to multiple abiotic stresses. In the present study, we sought to evaluate the consequences of constitutive and stress-induced overexpression of Gly I on the performance and productivity of plants. Towards this end, several Gly I transgenic Brassica juncea lines (designated as R and S lines) were generated in which the glyoxalase I (gly I) gene was expressed under the control of either a stress-inducible rd29A promoter or a constitutive CaMV 35S promoter. Both the R and S lines showed enhanced tolerance to salinity, heavy metal, and drought stress when compared to untransformed control plants. However, the S lines showed yield penalty under non-stress conditions while no such negative effect was observed in the R lines. Our results indicate that the overexpression of the gly I gene under the control of stress-inducible rd29A promoter is a better option for improving salt, drought and heavy metal stress tolerance in transgenic plants. 相似文献

A gene encoding the B subunit of the enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LTB) was adapted to the optimized plant coding sequence, and fused to the endoplasmic reticulum
retention signal SEKDEL in order to enhance its expression level and protein assembly in plants. The synthetic LTB (sLTB)
gene was placed into a plant expression vector under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter, and subsequently introduced into
the watercress (Nasturtium officinale L.) plant by the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method. The integration of the sLTB gene into the genomic DNA of transgenic plants was confirmed
by genomic DNA PCR amplification. The assembly of plant-produced LTB protein was detected by western blot analysis. The highest
amount of LTB protein produced in transgenic watercress leaf tissue was approximately 1.3% of the total soluble plant protein.
GM1-ganglioside enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay indicated that plant-synthesized LTB protein bound specifically to GM1-ganglioside, which is the receptor for biologically active LTB on the cell surface, suggesting that the plant-synthesized
LTB subunits formed biologically active pentamers. 相似文献

Phytochelatins (PCs) are post-translationally synthesized thiol reactive peptides that play important roles in detoxification
of heavy metal and metalloids in plants and other living organisms. The overall goal of this study is to develop transgenic
plants with increased tolerance for and accumulation of heavy metals and metalloids from soil by expressing an Arabidopsis
thaliana
AtPCS1 gene, encoding phytochelatin synthase (PCS), in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.). A FLAG-tagged AtPCS1 gDNA, under its native promoter, is expressed in Indian mustard, and transgenic pcs lines have been compared with wild-type
plants for tolerance to and accumulation of cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As). Compared to wild type plants, transgenic plants
exhibit significantly higher tolerance to Cd and As. Shoots of Cd-treated pcs plants have significantly higher concentrations
of PCs and thiols than those of wild-type plants. Shoots of wild-type plants accumulated significantly more Cd than those
of transgenic plants, while accumulation of As in transgenic plants was similar to that in wild type plants. Although phytochelatin
synthase improves the ability of Indian mustard to tolerate higher levels of the heavy metal Cd and the metalloid As, it does
not increase the accumulation potential of these metals in the above ground tissues of Indian mustard plants. 相似文献

RNA silencing technology was used to confer resistance to cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV). Nicotiana benthamiana was transformed with a transgene designed to produce an inverted repeat RNA containing CGMMV-coat protein gene (CP) sequences, which were separated by an intron sequence, under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. We
attempted to confirm the resistance of seven independent transgenic lines; five lines showed resistance to CGMMV infection.
The systemic spread of virus was prevented after the inoculation of CGMMV, and the CP-specific short interfering RNA (siRNA) was detected in resistant lines. Thus, the resistance against CGMMV through RNA silencing
is strong and efficient. 相似文献

Rice yield is severely affected by high-salt concentration in the vicinity of the plant. In an effort to engineer rice for
improved salt tolerance Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of rice cv. Binnatoa was accomplished with the Pennisetum glaucum vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporter gene (PgNHX1) under the constitutive CaMV35S promoter. For the molecular analysis of putative transgenic plants, PCR and RT-PCR were performed.
Transgenic rice plants expressing PgNHX1 showed better physiological status and completed their life cycle by setting flowers and seeds in salt stress, while wild-type
plants exhibited rapid chlorosis and growth inhibition. Moreover, transgenic rice plants produced higher grain yields than
wild-type plants under salt stress. Assessment of the salinity tolerance of the transgenic plants at seedling and reproductive
stages demonstrated the potential of PgNHX1 for imparting enhanced salt tolerance capabilities and improved yield. 相似文献

Nucleotide sequence encoding the truncated insecticidal Cry1Ca1 protein from Bacillus thuringiensis was extensively modified based on the codon usage of rice genes. The overall G + C contents of the synthetic cry1Ca1 coding sequence were raised to 65% with an additional bias of enriching for G and C ending codons as preferred by monocots.
The synthetic gene was introduced into the Chinese japonica variety, Xiushui 11, by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Transgenic rice plants harboring this gene were highly resistant to Chilo
suppressalis and Spodoptera litura larvae as revealed by insect bioassays. High levels of Cry1Ca1 protein were obtained in the leaves of transgenic rice, which
were effective in achieving 100% mortality of S. litura and C. suppressalis larvae. The levels of Cry1Ca1 expression in the leaves of these transgenic plants were up to 0.34% of the total soluble proteins.
The larvae of C. suppressalis and S.
litura could consume a maximum of 1.89 and 4.89 mm2 of transgenic leaf area whereas the consumption of non-transgenic leaves by these larvae was significantly higher; 58.33 and
61.22 mm2, respectively. Analysis of R1 transgenic plants indicated that the cry1Ca1 was inherited by the progeny plants and provided complete protection against C. suppressalis and S.
litura larvae. 相似文献

The gene encoding the catalytic domain of thermostable xylanase from Clostridium thermocellum F1 was expressed in rice plants under the control of a constitutive promoter. The gene encoding Xylanase A was modified to encode the catalytic domain of family 11 xylanase without the signal sequence (xynA1), and was introduced into rice plants and expressed under the control of a modified cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. Zymogram analysis indicated that the recombinant xylanase was produced in rice plants. The xynA1 gene was stably expressed in rice straw and seed grains. No phenotypic effect of xylanase expression was noted. The enzyme was detected in the desiccated grain. High levels of enzyme activity were maintained in the cell-free extract during incubation at 60 degrees C for 24 h. The results indicated that high levels of xylanase can be produced in rice plants. 相似文献

Plant glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are involved in protecting plants against both diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. In the present study,
a novel GST gene (LbGST1) was cloned from Limonium bicolor (Bunge) Kuntze (Plumbaginaceae). To characterize its function in salt tolerance, tobacco lines transformed with LbGST1 were generated. Compared with wild-type (WT) tobacco, transgenic plants overexpressing LbGST1 exhibited both GST and glutathione peroxidase activities. Moreover, superoxide dismutase, peroxidase (POD), and catalase
activities in transgenic plants were significantly higher than those in WT plants, particularly when grown under conditions
of salt stress. Similarly, levels of proline in transgenic plants were also higher than those in WT plants grown under NaCl
stress conditions. Whereas, Malondialdehyde contents in transgenic plants were lower than those in WT plants under NaCl conditions.
Furthermore, Na+ content in transgenic plants was lower than that in WT plants under these stress conditions. Subcellular localization analysis
revealed that the LbGST1 protein was localized in the nucleus. These results suggested that overexpression of LbGST1 gene can affect many physiological processes associated with plant salt tolerance. Therefore, we hypothesize that LbGST1 gene can mediate many physiological pathways that enhance stress resistance in plants. 相似文献
