T-DNA integration patterns in 49 transgenic grapevines produced via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation were analyzed. Inverse PCR (iPCR) was performed to identify T-DNA/plant junctions. Sequence comparison
revealed several deletions in the T-DNA right border (RB) and left border (LB), and filler DNA and duplications or deletions
of grapevine DNA at the T-DNA insertion loci. In 20 T-DNA/grapevine genome junctions microsimilarities were found associated
with the joining points and in all grapevine lines microsimilarities were present near the breaking points along the 30 bases
of T-DNA adjacent to the two borders. Analysis of target site preferences of T-DNA insertions indicated a non-random distribution
of the T-DNA, with a bias toward the intron regions of the grapevine genes. Compositional analysis of grapevine DNA around
the T-DNA insertion sites revealed an inverse relationship between the CG and AT-skews and AT rich sequences present at 300–500 bp
upstream the insertion points, near the RB of the T-DNA. PCR assays showed that vector backbone sequences were integrated
in 28.6% of the transgenic plants analyzed and multiple T-DNAs frequently integrated at the same position in the plant genome,
resulting in the formation of tandem and inverted repeats. 相似文献

For genetic transformation of plants, floral dip with Agrobacterium often results in integration of multiple T-DNA copies at a single locus and frequently in low and unstable transgene expression. To obtain efficient single-copy T-DNA transformants, two CRE/ loxP recombinase-based simplifying strategies for complex T-DNA loci were compared. A T-DNA vector with oppositely oriented loxP sites was transformed into CRE -expressing and wild-type control Arabidopsis thaliana plants. Of the primary CRE -expressing transformants, 55% harboured a single copy of the introduced T-DNA, but only 15% in the wild-type plants. However, 73% of the single-copy transformants in the CRE background showed continuous somatic inversion of the DNA segment between the two loxP sites. To avoid inversion of the loxP -flanked T-DNA segment, two T-DNA vectors harbouring only one loxP site were investigated for their suitability for CRE/ loxP recombinase-mediated resolution upon floral-dip transformation into CRE -expressing plants. On average, 70% of the transformants in the CRE background were single-copy transformants, whereas the single-copy T-DNA frequency was only 11% for both vectors in the wild-type background. Both resolution strategies yielded mostly Cre transformants in which the 35S-driven transgene expression was stable and uniform in the progeny and remarkably, also in Cre transformants with multiple T-DNA copies. Therefore, a role is proposed for the CRE recombinase in preventing inverted T-DNA repeat formation or modifying the locus chromatin structure, resulting in a reduced sensitivity for silencing. 相似文献

A system for genetic transformation of Coffea canephora by co-cultivation with Agrobacterium rhizogenes harbouring a binary vector has been developed. The objective of the present study was the genetic transformation and direct
regeneration of transformants through secondary embryos bypassing an intervening hairy root stage. Transformants were obtained
with a transformation efficiency up to 3% depending on the medium adjuvant used. A. rhizogenes strain A4 harbouring plasmid pCAMBIA 1301 with an intron uidA reporter and hygromycin phosphotransferase (hptII) marker gene was used for sonication-assisted transformation of Coffea canephora. The use of hygromycin in the secondary embryo induction medium allowed the selection of transgenic secondary embryos having
Ri T-DNA along with the T-DNA from the pCAMBIA 1301 binary vector. In addition transgenic secondary embryos devoid of Ri-T-DNA
but with stable integration of the T-DNA from the binary vector were obtained. The putative transformants were positive for
the expression of the uidA gene. PCR and Southern blot analysis confirmed the independent, transgenic nature of the analysed plants and indicated single
and multiple locus integrations. The study clearly demonstrates that A. rhizogenes can be used for delivering transgenes into tree species like Coffea using binary vectors with Agrobacterium tumefaciens T-DNA borders. 相似文献

In the ongoing process of developing Brachypodium distachyon as a model plant for temperate cereals and forage grasses, we have developed a high-throughput Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system for a diploid accession. Embryogenic callus, derived from immature embryos of the accession BDR018, were transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain AGL1 carrying two T-DNA plasmids, pDM805 and pWBV-Ds-Ubi-bar-Ds. Transient and stable transformation efficiencies were optimised by varying the pre-cultivation period, which had a strong effect on stable transformation efficiency. On average 55% of 17-day-old calli co-inoculated with Agrobacterium regenerated stable transgenic plants. Stable transformation frequencies of up to 80%, which to our knowledge is the highest transformation efficiency reported in graminaceous species, were observed. In a study of 177 transgenic lines transformed with pDM805, all of the regenerated transgenic lines were resistant to BASTA((R)), while the gusA gene was expressed in 88% of the transgenic lines. Southern blot analysis revealed that 35% of the tested plants had a single T-DNA integration. Segregation analysis performed on progenies of ten selected T(0) plants indicated simple Mendelian inheritance of the two transgenes. Furthermore, the presence of two selection marker genes, bar and hpt, on the T-DNA of pWBV-Ds-Ubi-bar-Ds allowed us to characterize the developed transformation protocol with respect to full-length integration rate. Even when not selected for, full-length integration occurred in 97% of the transformants when using bialaphos as selection agent. 相似文献

Transgenics for the expression of β-carotene biosynthetic pathway in the endosperm were developed in indica rice background
by introducing phytoene synthase (psy) and phytoene desaturase (crtI) genes through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, employing non-antibiotic positive selectable marker phosphomannose isomerase (pmi). Twenty-seven transgenic lines were characterized for the structural organization of T-DNA inserts and the expression of
transgenes in terms of total carotenoid and β-carotene accumulation in the endosperm. Ten lines were also studied for the
inheritance of transgenic loci to the T1 progenies. Copy number and sites of integration of the transgenes ranged from one to four. Almost 50% of the transgenic lines
showed rearrangement of T-DNA inserts. However, most of the rearrangements occurred in the crtI expression cassette which is adjacent to the right T-DNA border. Differences in copy numbers of psy and crtI were also observed indicating partial T-DNA integration. Beyond T-DNA border transfer was also detected in 25% of the lines.
Fifty percent of the lines studied showed single Mendelian locus inheritance, while two lines showed bi-locus inheritance
in the T1 progenies. Some of the lines segregating in 3:1 ratio showed two sites of integration on restriction digestion analysis indicating
that the T-DNA insertion sites were tightly linked. Three transgenic lines showed nonparental types in the segregating progenies,
indicating unstable transgenic locus. Evidences from the HPLC analysis showed that multiple copies of transgenes had a cumulative
effect on the accumulation of carotenoid in the endosperm. T1 progenies, in general, accumulated more carotenoids than their respective parents, the highest being 6.77 μg/g of polished
seeds. High variation in the carotenoid accumulation was observed within the T1 progenies which could be attributed to the variation in the structural organization and expression of transgenes, minor variations
in the genetic background within the progeny plants, or differences in the plant microenvironments. The study identified lines
worthy of further multiplication and breeding based on transgene structural integrity in the segregating progeny and high
expression levels in terms of the β-carotene accumulation. 相似文献

The metabolic profiles of transgenic cucumber lines vary with different chromosomal locations of the transgene 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The metabolic profiles of five transgenic cucumber lines were compared taking into consideration their transgene integration sites. The plants analyzed were homozygous and contained transgenes integrated in a single locus on chromosomes I, II, III or IV. The transgenes were preferentially located in the euchromatic regions. Each of these locations possessed a specific metabolic profile. The number of altered compounds in the transgenic lines varied between 9 and 23 of the 47 metabolites identified. These alterations seem to be specific for each independent transgene integration. However, some changes are common: a decrease in the levels of phenylalanine, aspartate, ethanolamine and pipecolate, and an increase in the level of benzoic acid. The observed effects of transgene introduction are discussed in this paper. 相似文献

Production of transgenic animals is an important technique for studying various biological processes. However, whether the integration of a particular transgene occurs randomly in the mouse genome has not been determined. Analysis by fluorescence in situ hybridization of the integration sites of the 142 EGFP (a mutant of green fluorescent protein) transgenic lines that we produced showed that the transgenes had become incorporated into every mouse chromosome. A single integration site was observed in 82.4% of the lines. The concomitant integrations of transgene into two different loci were observed in 15 cases (10.6%). In 3 cases, the transgenic founder mice showed chimerism in integration sites (2.1%). Chromosomal translocation was observed in 7 cases (4.9%). Moreover, when we statistically analyzed the transgene integration sites of these mouse lines, they were shown to distribute unevenly throughout the genome. This is the first report to analyze the transgene integration sites by producing more than 100 transgenic mouse lines. 相似文献

Cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKX) is the only known enzyme involved in cytokinin catabolism. Genes coding for two Arabidopsis CKX isoforms, AtCKX1 and AtCKX2, were introduced separately into a binary cloning vector, immobilized into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101, and introduced into root explants of centaury (Centaurium erythraea Rafn.). The integration of each transgene was confirmed by genomic PCR. Of the total transformed explants, 30 and 28.2 % of the transformants carried AtCKX1 and AtCKX2 transgenes, respectively. Of these transformants, 50 % exhibited expression of the AtCKX1 transgene, while 64 % of transformants exhibited expression of the AtCKX2 transgene. For all analysed AtCKX transgenic centaury lines, as well as for untransformed control plants, CKX activity was higher in roots than in shoots. Expression of AtCKX in most transgenic lines contributed to enhanced levels of CKX activity in root tissues; whereas, only a few lines demonstrated increased CKX activity in shoot tissues compared to those of control plants. Moreover, overexpression of AtCKX resulted in reduced morphogenetic potential in transgenic plants, but did not significantly affect biomass production in comparison to untransformed control plants. 相似文献

The stability of transgenes in the genome of transformed plants depends strongly on their correct physical integration into the host genome as well as on flanking target DNA sequences. For long-lived species like trees, however, no information is available so far concerning inactivation or loss of transgenes due to gene silencing or somatic genome rearrangement events. In this study, four independently transformed 35S-rolC transgenic hybrid aspen plants (Populus tremula L.?×?tremuloides Michx.), each harbouring one copy of the transgene, were investigated during continuous growth in the greenhouse. In one of these transgenic lines (Esch5:35S-rolC-##1) individuals frequently show phenotypic reversions, while in the remaining three lines (Esch5:35S-rolC-#3, -#5, -#16) the gene was essentially stable. Molecular analysis including PCR, Southern and Northern assays clearly showed that the transgene had been lost in the revertant tissue of the unstable line. Sequencing of T-DNA right and left borders, and flanking DNA regions, in all four transgenic aspen lines revealed no differences either in the type of flanking DNA (G-C to A-T ratio) or with respect to the presence of enhancers or MAR (matrix associated repeats)-like structures. Primers located within the left and right flanking regions in the three stable lines could be used to recover the target sites from the untransformed plants. This was not possible, however, with the unstable line, indicating that at least one flanking sequence does not derive from the plant target DNA but is of unknown origin. PCR using other primer pairs, and inverse PCR analysis, revealed an additional truncated T-DNA copy of 1050 nucleotides adjacent to the left border of the complete copy in this line. Sequencing of this truncated T-DNA revealed that it represented an inverted copy of part of the right half of the original construct. This special feature would allow the inverted repeat to pair with right border sequences of the complete copy. This would explain the frequently observed reversion resulting in transgene loss as due to intrachromosomal base-pairing leading to double-stranded loops of single-stranded DNA during mitotic cell divisions. 相似文献

Regeneration of transgenic citrus plants under non selective conditions results in high-frequency recovery of plants with silenced transgenes 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Insertion of foreign DNA into plant genomes frequently results in the recovery of transgenic plants with silenced transgenes. To investigate to what extent regeneration under selective conditions limits the recovery of transgenic plants showing gene silencing in woody species, Mexican lime [ Citrus aurantifolia (Christm.) Swing.] plants were transformed with the p25 coat protein gene of Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) with or without selection for nptII and uidA. Strikingly, more than 30% of the transgenic limes regenerated under non-selective conditions had silenced transgenes, and in all cases silencing affected all the three transgenes incorporated. These results indicate that the frequency of transgene silencing may be greatly underestimated when the rate of silencing is estimated from the number of regenerants obtained under selective conditions. To our knowledge, this is the first report in which the frequency of gene silencing after transformation has been quantified. When the integration pattern of T-DNA was analyzed in silenced and non-silenced lines, it was observed that inverted repeats as well as direct repeats and even single integrations were able to trigger gene silencing. Gene silencing has often been associated with the insertion of DNA sequences as inverted repeats. Interestingly, here, direct repeats and single-copy insertions were found in both silenced and non-silenced lines, suggesting that the presence of inverted-repeat T-DNAs and the subsequent formation of dsRNAs triggering gene silencing cannot account for all silencing events. 相似文献

High-resolution structural analysis of biolistic transgene integration into the genome of wheat 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
S. A. Jackson P. Zhang W. P. Chen R. L. Phillips B. Friebe S. Muthukrishnan B. S. Gill 《TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik》2001,103(1):56-62
Transformation of plant genomes by biolistic methods has become routine over the past decade. However, relatively little is
known about how transgenes are physically integrated into the host genome. Using a high-resolution physical mapping technique,
fluorescence in situ hybridization on extended DNA fibers (fiber-FISH), 13 independent transgenic wheat lines were analyzed
to determine the structural arrangement of stably inherited transgenes in host-plant chromosomes. Twelve transgenic lines
were transformed with a single plasmid and one line was co-transformed with two separate plasmids, which co-segregated genetically.
Three basic integration patterns were observed from the fiber-FISH experiments: Type I, large tandemly repeated integration;
Type II, large tandem integrations interspersed with unknown DNA; and Type III, small insertions, possibly interspersed with
unknown DNA. Metaphase FISH showed that the integration of transgenes was in both hetero- and euchromatic, as well as proximal,
interstitial and distal, regions of the chromosomes. In the transgenic plants, the type of promotor used, rather than the
chromosomal site of transgene integration, was most critical for transgene expression. The integration of the transgenes was
not associated with detectable chromosomal rearrangements.

Transformation of Plants with Multiple Cassettes Generates Simple Transgene Integration Patterns and High Expression Levels 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We transformed rice (Oryza sativa L.) simultaneously with five minimal cassettes, each containing a promoter, coding region and polyadenylation site but no
vector backbone. We found that multi-transgene cotransformation was achieved with high efficiency using multiple cassettes,
with all transgenic plants we generated containing at least two transgenes and 16% containing all five. About 75% of the plants
had simple transgene integration patterns with a predominance of single-copy insertions. The expression levels for all transgenes,
and the overall coexpression frequencies, were much higher than previously reported in whole plasmid transformants. Four of
five lines analyzed for transgene expression stability in subsequent generations showed stable and high expression levels
over generations. A simple model is proposed, which accounts for differences in the molecular make-up and the expression profile
of transgenic plants generated using whole plasmid or minimal cassettes. We conclude that gene transfer using minimal cassettes
is an efficient and rapid method for the production of transgenic plants containing and stably expressing several different
transgenes. Our results facilitate effective manipulation of multi-gene pathways in plants in a single transformation step. 相似文献
