转基因烟草的甘露醇合成和耐盐性

土壤的盐碱性是世界许多地区限制植物生长和作物产量的主要制约因素。长期的研究发现:在高盐或干旱环境下,大多数植物在细胞质中开始积累一些低分子量的代谢物,如脯氨酸、甜菜碱、糖醇等。这些物质通过维持高的细胞质渗透压,有利于植物在高盐或干旱条件下的水分吸收。通过基因工程手段,影响或改变植物体内的生理代谢途径,使得植物细胞产生和积累不同的低分子量有机化合物,能够

高度耐盐双价转基因烟草的研究

随着全球性人口的增长和土地退化的加剧,开发利用广阔盐碱地和干旱土地的需要日益迫切。植物生物技术的日臻完善,为培育高效耐盐植物迎来了一丝曙光。在高渗条件下,耐盐的微生物或植物细胞通过增加胞内一些相溶性溶质的浓度来维持渗透压的平衡。这些可溶性溶质包括无机离子、糖类、多元醇、氨基酸和生物碱等。通过基因工程手段,使细胞内积累脯氮酸⑴、甜菜碱⑵、甘露醇⑶、海藻糖⑷,能够不同程度地提高转基因烟草的耐盐性。多元醇含有多个羟基,亲水性能强,能有效维持细胞内水活度。山梨醇、甘露醇等己糖分子结构、理化性质和生理功能相近。故此．我们认为：不同糖醇在转基因烟草中的积累．可能具有协同(或累加)效应,有希望更大地提高植物耐盐性。我们在获得大肠杆菌mtlD基因(编码l-磷酸甘露醇脱氢酶)和gutD基因(编码6-磷酸山梨醇脱氢酶)克隆⑸的基础上,获得了分别表达mtlD和gutD基因的单价转基因烟草,并首次证实了gucD基因的表达,能显著地提高转基因烟草的耐盐性⑹。本文工作进一步报道同时表达大肠杆菌mtlD和gutD基因双价转基因烟草的高效高度耐盐性。     

Long-term resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus in transgenic tobacco cultivars expressing the viral nucleoprotein gene: greenhouse and field tests

We examined the resistance phenotype of a large number of transgenic tobacco plants originating from 12 commercial (Nicotiana tabacum) cultivars expressing the sense form of the nucleoprotein (N) gene of L3, a Bulgarian isolate of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). The analysis revealed that transgenic plants are completely protected against the homologous L3 isolate of TSWV irrespective of whether or not they contain detectable levels of translational product. The effectiveness of protection against the virus was investigated upon mechanical inoculation under greenhouse conditions and in field trials. Non-segregating resistant lines were selected and the inheritance of the resistance to TSWV was analysed in successive generations (R₃–R₆). Extensive tests under controlled conditions and two-year field trials proved that the resistance to TSWV is stable in different environments and is a stably inherited trait.     

转popW基因烟草的构建及相关表型分析

PopW是克隆于青枯劳尔氏菌Ralstonia solanacearum ZJ3721中的一种新的编码harpin蛋白的基因,原核表达的PopW蛋白能够诱导烟草对TMV的抗性、促进烟草生长、提高烟草品质。将popW基因连接到植物表达载体pBI121上,构建成重组转基因载体pB-popW,通过冻融法转化根癌土壤杆菌EHA105,获得阳性转化子。再采用叶盘法转化三生烟Nicotiana tobacum cv.Xanthi nc.,经卡那霉素抗性筛选、PCR检测、RT-PCR分析获得21个株系的T3代阳性植株。PCR及RT-PCR检测结果表明popW基因已经整合到烟草基因组中,并在转录水平正常表达。GUS染色进一步证明popW基因在翻译水平上进行了表达,且不同株系之间表达存在差异。对烟草花叶病毒(TMV)的抗病性测定结果表明,转基因烟草对TMV的抗病性增强,防效最高达54.25%。转基因烟草在生长上也具有一定优势,生长15 d的根长最高为野生型的1.7倍,移栽后60 d的株高、鲜重、干重最高分别为野生型烟草的1.4、1.7和1.8倍。     

Heat-inducible hygromycin resistance in transgenic tobacco

We have constructed a chimaeric gene consisting of the promoter of the soybean heat shock (hs) gene Gmhsp17,6-L, the coding region of a hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) gene, and the termination sequence of the nopaline synthase (nos) gene. This gene fusion was introduced into tobacco by Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer. Heat-inducible synthesis of mRNA was shown by northern hybridization, and translation of this RNA into a functional protein was indicated by plant growth on hygromycin-containing media in a temperature-dependent fashion. One hour incubation at 40 °C per day, applied for several weeks, was sufficient to express the resistant phenotype in transgenic plants containing the chimaeric hs-hpt gene. These data suggest that the hygromycin resistance gene is functional and faithfully controlled by the soybean hs promoter. The suitability of these transgenic plants for selection of mutations that alter the hs response is discussed.     

Rapid production and field testing of homozygous transgenic tobacco lines with virus resistance conferred by expression of satellite RNA and coat protein of cucumber mosaic virus

A procedure for the fast production of homozygotic transgenic plants was developed. Leaf discs of haploid tobacco plants from anther cultures were transformed with a chimaeric vector containing coat protein (CP) and satellite RNA (Sat-RNA) genes from cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). One-hundred-and-twelve Kanamycin-resistant transformed haploid plants were subjected to selection based on the expression of both CP and Sat-RNA. Eighty-nine transgenic plants expressing both genes were selected and tested for their resistance to CMV by inoculation with high concentration of CMV (200 g ml^–1). Only five plants showed no symptoms of viral infection 30 days after inoculation. These plants were then diploidized by colchicine treatment. Three homozygous diploid lines with high levels of resistance to CMV were obtained after only one generation. The three transgenic lines were further tested under field conditions. The results showed that the progenies of these transgenic lines were homozygous and were highly resistant to CMV under natural field infection and manual inoculation conditions.     

Expression of mouse metallothionein-I gene confers cadmium resistance in transgenic tobacco plants

Transgenic tobacco plants containing a mouse metallothionein-I (MT-I) gene fused to the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S (CaMV 35S) promoter and nopaline synthase (nos) polyadenylation site were obtained by transforming tobacco leaf discs with an Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain carrying the chimaeric gene. Transformants were directly selected and rooted on medium containing cadmium and kanamycin. A total of 49 individual transgenic tobacco plants were regenerated. Among them 20% showed a very high expression level and their growth was unaffected by up to 200 M cadmium, whereas the growth of control plants was severely affected leaf chlorosis occurred on medium containing only 10 M cadmium. The concentration of MT-I in leaves of control and transgenic tobacco was determined with Cd/haemoglobin saturation assay, a polarographic method and western blotting. In addition, seeds from self-fertilized transgenic plants were germinated on medium containing toxic levels of cadmium and scored for tolerance/susceptibility to this heavy metal. The ratio of tolerant to susceptible plants was 3:1 indicating that the metallothionein gene is inherited as a single locus.     

The performance of pathogenic bacterial phytosensing transgenic tobacco in the field

Phytosensors are useful for rapid‐on‐the‐plant detection of contaminants and agents that cause plant stress. Previously, we produced a series of plant pathogen‐inducible synthetic promoters fused to an orange fluorescent protein (OFP) reporter gene and transformed them into tobacco and Arabidopsis thaliana plants; in these transgenic lines, an OFP signal is expressed commensurate with the presence of plant pathogens. We report here the results of 2 years of field experiments using a subset of these bacterial phytosensing tobacco plants. Time‐course analysis of field‐grown phytosensors showed that a subset of plants responded predictably to treatments with Pseudomonas phytopathogens. There was a twofold induction in the OFP fluorescence driven by two distinct salicylic acid‐responsive synthetic promoters, 4 × PR1 and 4 × SARE. Most notably, transgenic plants containing 4 × PR1 displayed the earliest and highest OFP induction at 48 and 72 h postinoculation (h p.i.) upon inoculation with two phytopathogens Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato and P. syringae pv. tabaci, respectively. These results demonstrate transgenic tobacco harbouring a synthetic inducible promoter‐driven OFP could be used to facilitate monitoring and early‐warning reporting of phytopathogen infections in agricultural fields.     

Transgenic tobacco plants expressing the coat protein of cucumber mosaic virus show different virus resistance

Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi-nc) plants were regenerated after cocultivation of leaf explants withAgrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harboring a plasmid that contained the coat protein (CP) gene of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV-As). PCR and Southern blot analyses revealed that the CMV CP gene was successfully introduced into the genomic DNA of the transgenic tobacco plants. Transgenic plants (CP⁺) expressing CP were obtained and used for screening the virus resistance. They could be categorized into three types after inoculation with the virus: virus-resistant, delay of symptom development, and susceptible type. Most of the CP⁺ transgenic tobacco plants failed to develop symptoms or showed systemic symptom development delayed for 5 to 42 days as compared to those of nontransgenic control plants after challenged with the same virus. However, some CP⁺ transgenic plants were highly susceptible after inoculation with the virus. Our results suggest that the CP-mediated viral resistance is readily applicable to CMV disease in other crops.
