Patterns of transformation intensity on flax hypocotyls inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Summary Cellular transformation intensities on flax (Linum usitatissimum) hypocotyl explants using disarmed Agrobacterium tumefaciens were investigated through various preculture durations, cocultivation durations and removal of epidermis. The expression of an intron-containing -glucuronidase (GUS) gene driven by CaMV 35S promoter served as a reporter for determination of transformed tissues on hypocotyls. The binary plasmid p35SGUSINT in octopine-type Agrobacterium strain GV2260 was used as the vector system. A prolonged cocultivation duration (5–7 days) resulted in a much higher transformation staining intensity (frequency * tissue area) than 2- or 3-day-cocultivation duration on hypocotyls variously precultured prior to inoculation. A high staining intensity on the two cut ends was obtained from nonprecultured hypocotyls. A reduction in intensity on the upper cut end of hypocotyls was observed with preculture times greater than 6 days. Peeled hypocotyls with a post-peeling preculture of 2 or 3 days had a high proportion of superficial area covered by transformed tissues after a 7 day-cocultivation duration. These results will help to improve the efficiency of recovery of transgenic plants by increasing the proportion of transformation in the regenerable tissues.

抗氧化剂对农杆菌介导的大豆下胚轴GUS基因瞬时表达的影响

大豆(Glycine max)下胚轴作为大豆遗传转化的外植体材料,能快速高频再生不定芽。然而,在遗传转化过程中褐化影响基因转化效率。在该研究中,我们用含有GUS染色基因和hpt II(Hygromycin phosphotransferase II)筛选基因的农杆菌(Agrobacterium tumefaciens) LBA4404侵染大豆下胚轴,并用组织化学定位法测定了GUS基因的瞬时表达,以确定大豆的优化基因转化条件。结果显示,在共培养基中加入硫代硫酸钠、L_半胱氨酸以及二硫苏糖醇等抗氧化剂,可以有效地抑制大豆下胚轴在组培过程中褐化的发生,并大幅度提高农杆菌在下胚轴的瞬时表达率。这些结果说明抗氧化剂可以降低这种影响并有效提高基因转化效率。     

Slash pine genetic transformation through embryo cocultivation with A. tumefaciens and transgenic plant regeneration

Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation has been widely used to generate transgenic plants in angiosperms. However, progress in conifer species has lagged because of the recalcitrant nature of gene transfer. In this study, a transgenic plant regeneration system has been established for slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Among the different Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains (EHA105, GV3101, and LBA4404) tested, the highest frequency (60%) of transient β-glucuronidase-expressing embryos was obtained from Agrobacterium strain GV3101 with over 330 blue spots per embryo. To improve the frequency of transformation, different cocultivation conditions were analyzed. Combination of Agrobacterium density at OD₆₀₀?=?0.9, 50 s sonication of embryos, and the addition of 50 μM acetosyringone produced the highest transformation efficiency, in which 56.2% of embryos formed hygromycin-resistant calli. Transient gene expression was observed in cotyledons and hypocotyls, but transgenic plants were only produced from callus cultures derived from embryonic cotyledons of transformed slash pine. Stable integration of transgenes in the plant genome of slash pine was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction, Southern blot, and Northern blot analyses. Transgenic lines with a single T-DNA copy were produced from Agrobacterium strains EHA105 (80.4%), GV3101 (95.7%), and LBA4404 (66%). These results demonstrated that a stable transformation system has been established in slash pine, and this system could provide an opportunity to transfer economically important genes into slash pine.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Agrobacterium</Emphasis>-mediated transformation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Fraxinus pennsylvanica</Emphasis> hypocotyls and plant regeneration

A genetic transformation protocol for green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) hypocotyl explants was developed. Green ash hypocotyls were transformed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 harboring binary vector pq35GR containing the neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) and β-glucuronidase (GUS) fusion gene, and an enhanced green fluorescent protein gene. Pre-cultured hypocotyl explants were transformed in the presence of 100 μM acetosyringone using 90 s sonication plus 10 min vacuum-infiltration. Kanamycin at 20 mg l⁻¹ was used for selecting transformed cells. Adventitious shoots regenerated on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 13.3 μM 6-benzylaminopurine, 4.5 μM thidiazuron, 50 mg l⁻¹ adenine sulfate, and 10% coconut water. GUS- and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-positive shoots from the cut ends of hypocotyls were produced via an intermediate callus stage. Presence of the GUS and nptII genes in GUS-positive shoots were confirmed by PCR and copy number of the nptII gene in PCR-positive shoots was determined by Southern blotting. Three transgenic plantlets were acclimatized to the greenhouse. This transformation and regeneration system using hypocotyls provides a foundation for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of green ash. Studies are underway using a construct containing the Cry8Da protein of Bacillus thuringiensis for genetic transformation of green ash.

Physiological features of rapeseed plants expressing the gene for an antimicrobial peptide cecropin P1

Transgenic rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) plants carrying an artificial gene for the antimicrobial peptide cecropin P1 (cecP1) were obtained and characterized. The agrobacterial transformation was done by vacuum infiltration of seeds with agrobacterium GV3101(pMP90RK) containing a binary vector pGA482::cecP1. The cec1 gene expression was analyzed by Western blotting and confirmed by antimicrobial activity measurements of plant extracts. The obtained plants showed the resistance to the bacterial and fungal pathogens Erwinia carotovora and Fusarium sporotrichioides. The photosynthetic activities of control and transgenic plants under biotic stress conditions of E. carotovora infection were comparatively studied. The higher tolerance of the cecP1 plants to the oxidative stress caused by paraquat was shown. The results obtained point to the possibility of incorporation of the cecropin P1 gene into the integral stress protection system of plants.

Strain specific Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of Bacopa monnieri

Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation is the most preferred strategy utilized for plant genetic transformation. The present study was carried out to analyze the influence of three different strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens on genetic transformation of Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell. In the present study, B. monnieri was genetically transformed with three different strains of A. tumefaciens viz. LBA4404, EHA105 and GV3101 harbouring expression vector pCAMBIA2301 containing β-glucuronidase (GUS) as a reporter gene. The putative transformants were analyzed by PCR method using transgene specific primers. Expression and presence of GUS reporter protein were analyzed by histochemical staining assay and quantitative analysis of GUS enzyme was done using fluorometric assay. No statistically significant difference in transformation efficiency was found for all the three strains. Interestingly, Gus expression was variable with LBA4404 plants showing highest GUS activity.

Regeneration of transgenic loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) from zygotic embryos transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Embryos of 24 open-pollinated families of loblolly pine (Pinus teade L.) were used as explants to conduct in vitro regeneration. Then, Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101 harboring the plasmid pPCV6NFHygGUSINT was used to transform mature zygotic embryos of seven families of loblolly pine. The frequency of transformation varied among families infected with A. tumefaciens. The highest frequency (100%) of transient beta-glucuronidase (GUS)-expressing embryos was obtained from family 11-1029 with over 300 blue spots per embryo. Expression of the GUS reporter gene was observed in cotyledons, hypocotyls, and radicles of co-cultivated mature zygotic embryos, as well as in callus and shoots derived from co-cultivated mature zygotic embryos. Ninety transgenic plants were regenerated from hygromycin-resistant callus derived from families W03. 8-1082 and 11-1029. and 19 transgenic plantlets were established in soil. The presence of the GUS gene in the plant genome was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. Southern blot, and plant DNA/T-DNA junction analysis. These results suggest that an efficient A. tumefaciens-mediated transformation protocol for stable integration of foreign genes into loblolly pine has been developed and that this transformation system could be useful for future studies on transferring economically important genes to loblolly pine.

Efficient Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation method using hypocotyl explants of radish (Raphanus sativus L.)

To investigate the gene function of radish (Raphanus sativus L.), several attempts have been made to generate genetically transformed radish. However, no efficient and relatively simple method for the genetic transformation of radish has been developed to date. In this study, we established an Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation method using the hypocotyl-derived explants of radish cultivar “Pirabikku”. Primarily based on the Brassica transformation procedure, we optimized it for radish transformation. Using this system, the transformation efficiency of radish hypocotyl explants by Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101 harboring pIG121-Hm was 13.3%. The copy number of transfer DNA integrated into the genome was either one or two in the four independent transgenic plants. Two of the four plants exhibited male sterility and did not produce self-pollinated seeds. Examination of the expression of the β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene in T₁ plants from fertile T₀ plants showed that the GUS genes were inherited. The improvement in the genetic transformation in this study might pave the way for accelerated molecular breeding and genetic analysis of radish.     

Heterologous expression and purification of NisA, the precursor peptide of lantibiotic nisin from Lactococcus lactis

The lantibiotic nisin is a ribosomally synthesised and post-translationally modified antimicrobial peptide produced by strains of Lactococcus lactis, and used as safe and natural preservative in food industry. The nisA structural gene encodes ribosomally synthesised and biologically inactive a 57 amino acid precursor peptide (NisA) which undergoes several post-translational modifications. In this study, we report the expression of precursor nisin as a His6-tagged peptide in Escherichia coli and its purification using a nickel affinity column. The technique of spliced-overlap extension PCR was used to amplify the nisA gene and the T7 promoter region of pET-15b vector. This approach was used to introduce six histidine residues at the C-terminus of prenisin. The identity of the expressed peptide was confirmed by N-terminal sequencing. The expressed His-tagged prenisin was purified under denaturing conditions, and named as prenisin-His6. The purified prenisin-His6 was analyzed by SDS-PAGE, Western blotting and mass spectroscopy. These results showed that the nisin precursor peptide can be successfully produced using an E. coli expression system.

Optimization of the protocol for constructing transgenic plants of the white cabbage brassica oleracea var. capitata

The strain Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101, which contains the pBar vector carrying the phosphinothricin acetyltransferase gene (bar) under the control of the 35SCMoV promoter and NOS 3' terminator, was used for genetic transformation of four white cabbage lines, Ges-3, Drv-2, Zmu 7, and Meg 2. The effect of different concentrations and combinations of phytohormones was studied, which allowed for choosing the cultivation conditions that provided a 63-78% regeneration efficiency. It was demonstrated that concerted action by natural and synthetic cytokinins is necessary for the lines studied. Overall, 26 transgenic plants were obtained using the optimized protocol for agrobacterial transformation. The transgenic nature of these plants was confirmed by PCR and dot-blot hybridization.     

Nisin A前体基因nisA的过量表达对Nisin A产量的影响

Nisin是一种广泛应用于食品工业的抗菌素。通过基因工程手段分别构建了Nisin A前体结构基因nisA的穿梭表达载体pMG36ek-nisA和整合型载体pDG780-nisA,并转入Nisin A产生菌乳酸乳球菌Lactococcus lactis ATCC 11454中,得到两株基因工程菌FMM1和FMM2。对比工程菌和原始产生菌的生长状态及Nisin A产量,结果表明FMM1的生长速度、生物量以及发酵液的酸碱度没有显著变化,而Nisin A产量提高了31%;相反,FMM2的生物量较原始菌株显著降低,但Nisin A产量也有一定程度的提高。通过RT-PCR检测工程菌与原始产生菌Nisin A生物合成基因簇中11个基因的转录水平,结果显示FMM1和FMM2的11个基因的转录水平均有提高,其中FMM1提高更为显著。因此推测,nisA是Nisin A高产的关键因素之一,其游离型过量表达能显著提高Nisin A的产量。该研究为采用基因工程手段提高Nisin A的产量提供了新的思路,并对NisinA的大规模工业生产有指导意义,同时,也为其他抗菌肽产生菌的基因工程改造提供了参考。
