Plasmids with a synthetic gene of the mammalian antimicrobial peptide cecropin P1 (cecP1) controlled by the constitutive promoter 35S RNA of cauliflower mosaic virus were constructed. Agrobacterial transformation of tobacco plants was conducted using the obtained recombinant binary vector. The presence of gene cecP1 in the plant genome was confirmed by PCR. The expression of gene cecP1 in transgenic plants was shown by Northern blot analysis. The obtained transgenic plants exhibit enhanced resistance to phytopathogenic bacteria Pseudomonas syringae, P. marginata, and Erwinia carotovora. The ability of transgenic plants to express cecropin P1 was transmitted to the progeny. F0 and F1 plants had the normal phenotype (except for a changed coloration of flowers) and retained the ability to produce normal viable seeds upon self-pollination. Lines of F1 plants with Mendelian segregation of transgenic traits were selected. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Transgenic plants of camelina (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz) with the synthetic gene of antimicrobial peptide cecropin P1 (cecP1) were obtained. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is performed using the binary vector pGA482::cecP1 by vacuum infiltration of flower buds. The presence of the cecP1 gene in the genome of plants was confirmed by PCR. CecP1 gene expression in transgenic plants was shown by Western blot analysis and by antimicrobial activity of plant extracts against the bacterial phytopathogene Erwinia carotovora. The plants of F0 and F1 generations had the normal phenotype and retained the ability to form viable seeds in self-pollination. cecP1 plants exhibit enhanced resistance to bacterial and fungal phytopathogens: Erwinia carotovora and Fusarium sporotrichioides. The increased sustainability of cecropin P1-expressing plants against salt stress is shown. The possibility of the integration of the cecP1 gene into the overall protective system of plants against biotic and abiotic stresses is discussed. 相似文献

Kalanchoe pinnate (Kalanchöe pinnata L. ) plants with synthetic gene of antimicrobial peptide cecropin P1 (CP1) under the control of promoter 35S RNA of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV 35S) were produced. For transformation, a modified binary vector not containing selective genes of tolerance against antibiotics and herbicides was used. Screening of the marker-free transformed plants was conducted on the medium without selective antibiotics by revealing antibacterial activity of plant extracts and cecropin P1. The marker-free plants produced displayed increased resistance against bacterial and fungus phytopathogens, while their extracts were characterized by antimicrobial activity for human and animal pathogens. These plants meet the requirements of biosafety and may be used as producers of cecropin P1 in pharmaceutics. 相似文献

Auto-excision of selectable marker genes from transgenic tobacco via a stress inducible FLP/FRT site-specific recombination system 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Hee-Jong Woo Hyun-Suk Cho Sun-Hyung Lim Kong-Sik Shin Si-Myung Lee Ki-Jong Lee Dong-Hern Kim Yong-Gu Cho 《Transgenic research》2009,18(3):455-465
Antibiotic resistance marker genes are powerful selection tools for use in plant transformation processes. However, once transformation
is accomplished, the presence of these resistance genes is no longer necessary and can even be undesirable. We herein describe
the successful excision of antibiotic resistance genes from transgenic plants via the use of an oxidative stress-inducible
FLP gene. FLP encodes a recombinase that can eliminate FLP and hpt selection genes flanked by two FRT sites. During a transformation procedure in tobacco, transformants were obtained by selection on hygromycin media. Regenerants
of the initial transformants were screened for selective marker excision in hydrogen peroxide supplemented media and both
the FLP and hpt genes were found to have been eliminated. About 13–41% of regenerated shoots on hydrogen peroxide media were marker-free.
This auto-excision system, mediated by the oxidative stress-inducible FLP/FRT system to eliminate a selectable marker gene can be very readily adopted and used to efficiently generate marker-free transgenic
plants. 相似文献

Transgenic kalanchoe plants (Kalanchoe pinnata L.) expressing the antimicrobial peptide cecropin P1 gene (cecP1) under the control of the 35S cauliflower mosaic virus 35S RNA promoter and the selective neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII) gene under the control of the nopaline synthase gene promoter were studied. The 35S promoter methylation and the cecropin P1 biosynthesis levels were compared in plants growing on media with and without kanamycin. The low level of active 35S promoter methylation further decreases upon cultivation on kanamycin-containing medium, while cecropin P1 synthesis increases. 相似文献

Expression of giant silkmoth cecropin B genes in tobacco 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Dion Florack Sjefke Allefs Rik Bollen Dirk Bosch Bert Visser Willem Stiekema 《Transgenic research》1995,4(2):132-141
Cecropin B is a small antibacterial peptide from the giant silkmothHyalophora cecropia. To reveal the potential of this peptide for engineering bacterial disease resistance into crops, several cecropin B gene constructs were made either for expression in the cytosol or for secretion. All constructs were cloned in a plant expression vector and introduced in tobacco viaAgrobacterium tumefaciens. A cDNA-derived cecropin B gene construct lacking the amino-terminal signal peptide was poorly expressed in transgenic plants at the mRNA level, whereas plants harbouring a full-length cDNA-derived construct containing the insect signal peptide, showed increased cecropin B-mRNA levels. Highest expression was found in plants harbouring a construct with a plant-gene-derived signal peptide. In none of the transgenic plants could the cecropin B peptide be detected. This is most likely caused by breakdown of the peptide by plant endogenous proteases, since a chemically synthesized cecropin B peptide was degraded within seconds in various plant cell extracts. This degradation could be prevented by the addition of specific protease inhibitors and by boiling the extract prior to adding the peptide. In addition, anionic detergents, in contrast to cationic, zwitter-ionic or non-ionic detergents, could prevent this degradation. Nevertheless, transgenic tobacco plants were evaluated for resistance toPseudomonas solanacearum, the causal agent of bacterial wilt of many crops, andP. syringae pv.tabaci, the causal agent of bacterial wildfire, which are highly susceptible to cecropin Bin vitro. No resistance was found. These experiments indicate that introduction and expression of cecropin B genes in tobacco does not result in detectable cecropin B protein levels and resistance to bacterial infections, most likely due to degradation of the protein by endogenous proteases. 相似文献

We report on generation of marker-free (‘clean DNA’) transgenic rice (Oryza sativa), carrying minimal gene-expression-cassettes of the genes of interest, and evaluation of its resistance to yellow stem borerScirpophaga incertulas (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). The transgenicindica rice harbours a translational fusion of 2 differentBacillus thuringiensis (Bt) genes, namelycry1B-1Aa, driven by the green-tissue-specific phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) promoter. Mature seed-derived calli of an eliteindica rice cultivar Pusa Basmati-1 were co-bombarded with gene-expression-cassettes (clean DNA fragments) of the Bt gene and the
markerhpt gene, to generate marker-free transgenic rice plants. The clean DNA fragments for bombardment were obtained by restriction
digestion and gel extraction. Through biolistic transformation, 67 independent transformants were generated. Transformation
frequency reached 3.3%, and 81% of the transgenic plants were co-transformants. Stable integration of the Bt gene was confirmed,
and the insert copy number was determined by Southern analysis. Western analysis and ELISA revealed a high level of Bt protein
expression in transgenic plants. Progeny analysis confirmed stable inheritance of the Bt gene according to the Mendelian (3∶1)
ratio. Insect bioassays revealed complete protection of transgenic plants from yellow stem borer infestation. PCR analysis
of T2 progeny plants resulted in the recovery of up to 4% marker-free transgenic rice plants. 相似文献

Enhanced resistance to the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea conferred by expression of a cecropin A gene in transgenic rice 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Cecropins are a family of antimicrobial peptides, which constitute an important key component of the immune response in insects.
Here, we demonstrate that transgenic rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants expressing the cecropin A gene from the giant silk moth Hyalophora cecropia show enhanced resistance to Magnaporthe
grisea, the causal agent of the rice blast disease. Two plant codon-optimized synthetic cecropin A genes, which were designed either to retain the cecropin A peptide in the endoplasmic reticulum, the ER-CecA gene, or to secrete cecropin A to the extracellular space, the Ap-CecA gene, were prepared. Both cecropin A genes were efficiently expressed in transgenic rice. The inhibitory activity of protein extracts prepared from leaves of
cecropin A-expressing plants on the in vitro growth of M. grisea indicated that the cecropin A protein produced by the transgenic rice plants was biologically active. Whereas no effect on
plant phenotype was observed in ER-CecA plants, most of the rice lines expressing the Ap-CecA gene were non-fertile. Cecropin A rice plants exhibited resistance to rice blast at various levels. Transgene expression of cecropin A genes was not accompanied by an induction of pathogenesis-related (PR) gene expression supporting that the transgene product itself is directly active against the pathogen. Taken together, the
results presented in this study suggest that the cecropin A gene, when designed for retention of cecropin A into the endoplasmic reticulum, could be a useful candidate for protection
of rice plants against the rice blast fungus M. grisea. 相似文献

Summary We used in vitro growth inhibition assays to demonstrate that synthetic cecropin protein has potent activity against a range of plant pathogenic bacteria. We then prepared transgenic tobacco plants which express cecropin mRNA and protein. We have used Pseudomonas syringae pv tabaci infection of these transgenic tobacco as a model system to evaluate whether the plants which express cecropin protein also have increased tolerance to infection. We found no dramatic difference in disease response between plants which are expressing cecropin protein and control plants which were derived from the transformation with a binary vector which did not carry the gene encoding cecropin protein. 相似文献

Summary We have developed a new transformation method called MATVS (Multi-Auto-Transformation Vector System). The oncogenes (ipt or rol genes) of Agrobacterium are used as selectable markers to regenerate transgenic cells and to select marker-free transgenic plants in the MATVS. The
chimeric ipt gene or the rol genes are combined withthe site-specific recombination R/RS system to remove the oncogenes from the transgenic cells after transformation. We report here the application of MATVS
to transformation of tobacco, aspen, rice and snapdragon. (I) The GST-MAT vector pMAT8 has the native ipt gene and the R gene with a chemical inducible promoter (GST-II-27). Use of the GST-MAT vector generated marker-free transgenic tobacco plants
cotaining a single copy transgene at high frequency. (2) Use of the GST-MAT vector pRBI11 containing the rbcS 3B-ipt gene produced transgenic marker-free hybrid aspen plants without crossing. (3) Use of the ipt-type MAT vector, pNPI30GFP, containing the 35S-ipt and 35S-R, genes, resulted in the regeneration of marker-free transgenic reice plants directly from infected scutellum tisues at high
frequency within 1 mo. (4) Use of the rol-type MAT vector pNPI702, containing the rol genes and the 35S-R gene, produced transgenic marker-free plants of tobacco and snapdragon at high frequency without crossing. Our results show
that the promoter of the ipt gene, the preculture periods of plant tissues and the culture medium are important factors to improve the generation efficiency
of marker-free transgenic plants. We can rapidly produce marker-free transgenic plants without the production of ipt-shooty intermediates. Therefore, it is a most promising method to save time and work for the generation of marker-free transgenic
plants in crops. 相似文献

The presence of marker genes conferring antibiotic or herbicide resistance in transgenic plants has been a serious problem
for their public acceptance and commercialization. MAT (multi-auto-transformation) vector system has been one of the strategies
to excise the selection marker gene from transgenic plants. Agrobacterium
tumefaciens strain EHA105 harboring a rol-type MAT vector, pMAT101, was used to produce morphologically normal transgenic Petunia hybrida ‘Dainty Lady’ employing rol gene as the selection marker gene. LacZ gene was used as a model gene of interest. Infected explants were cultured on plant growth regulator (PGR)- and antibiotic-free
half-strength MS medium. Sixty-five percent of the infected explants produced hairy roots. The hairy roots were separated
and proliferated on 1/2 MS hormone-free medium. Shoots produced from the hairy roots on 1/2 MS medium supplemented with benzylaminopurine
(BA) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) exhibited hairy root syndrome (Ri syndrome) such as dwarfed, reduced apical dominance,
short internodes and increased rooting, but subsequently produced normal-looking marker-free shoots. Molecular analysis of
DNA from the hairy roots, shoots with Ri syndrome and morphologically normal shoots revealed that the normal shoots had only
LacZ gene, and the removable cassette consisting of rol, R (recombinase) and GUS genes was excised. From this study it can be concluded that the chimeric rol genes can be used as a selection marker for Agrobacterinum-mediated transformation of Petunia hybrida and that the production of marker-free normal transgenic plants is possible without using selective chemical agents employing
rol-type MAT vector. 相似文献

The development of marker-free transgenic plants has responded to public concerns over the safety of biotechnology crops.
It seems that continued work in this area will soon remove the question of unwanted marker genes from the debate concerning
the public acceptability of transgenic crop plants. Selectable marker genes are co-introduced with genes of interest to identify
those cells that have integrated the DNA into their genome. Despite the large number of different selection systems, marker
genes that confer resistance to the antibiotics, hygromycin (hpt) and kanamycin (nptII) or herbicide phosphinothricin (bar), have been used in most transgenic research and crop development techniques. The techniques that remove marker gene are
under development and will eventually facilitate more precise and subtle engineering of the plant genome, with widespread
applications in both fundamental research and biotechnology. In addition to allaying public concerns, the absence of resistance
genes in transgenic plants could reduce the costs of developing biotechnology crops and lessen the need for time-consuming
safety evaluations, thereby speeding up the commercial production of biotechnology crops. Many research results and various
techniques have been developed to produce marker-free transgenic plants. This review describes the strategies for eliminating
selectable marker genes to generate marker-free transgenic plants, focusing on the three significant marker-free technologies,
co-transformation, site-specific recombinase-mediated excision, and non-selected transformation. 相似文献

Agroinfiltration is employed as a fast way to directly create marker-free transgenic tobacco plants. As an example for the
efficiency of the method, Agrobacterium cells harboring a marker-free vector coding for β-glucuronidase (GUS) were infiltrated into the leaf discs of Nicotiana tabacum, which were then used as explants for marker-free plant regeneration by tissue culture. Through GUS staining, a large number
of small calli were shown to be stably transformed on the treated leaf discs at 17 days after agroinfiltration. Most importantly,
after continuous culture of the leaf discs until shoot regeneration, about 15% of the regenerants were proven to be transformants
by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. 相似文献

The presence of marker genes conferring antibiotic or herbicide resistance in transgenic plants has been a controversial issue
and a serious problem for their public acceptance and commercialization. The MAT (multi-auto-transformation) vector system
has been one of the strategies developed to excise the selection marker gene and produce marker-free transgenic plants. In
an attempt to produce transgenic marker-free Petunia hybrida plants resistant to Botrytis cinerea (gray mold), we used the ipt gene as a selectable marker gene and the wasabi defensin (WD) gene, isolated from Wasabia japonica (a Japanese horseradish which has been a potential source of antimicrobial proteins), as a gene of interest. The WD gene was cloned from the binary vector, pEKH-WD, to an ipt-type MAT vector, pMAT21, by gateway cloning technology and transferred to Agrobacterium
tumefaciens strain EHA105. Infected leaf explants of P.
hybrida were cultured on hormone- and antibiotic-free MS medium. Extreme shooty phenotype (ESP)/ipt shoots were produced by the explants infected with the pMAT21-WD. The same antibiotic- and hormone-free MS medium was used in subcultures of the ipt shoots. Ipt shoots subsequently produced morphologically normal shoots. Molecular analyses of genomic DNA from the transgenic plants
confirmed the integration of the gene of interest and excision of the selection marker. Expression of the WD gene was confirmed by northern blot and western blot analyses. A disease resistance assay of the marker-free transgenic plants
exhibited enhanced resistance against B. cinerea strain 40 isolated from P. hybrida. 相似文献

High molecular weight (HMW) glutenin polypeptides are critical contributors to the visco/elastic properties responsible for
the processing characteristics and utilizations of wheat flour. In order to improve bread making quality of flour and produce
transgenic plants free of selectable markers, a linear DNA construct consisting of a minimal expression cassette with the
HMW-GS 1Bx14 gene was transformed into wheat cultivar Mianyang19 by microprojectile bombardment. The transform ants were selected by PCR
instead of herbicidal markers. Seven transgenic plants were identified from a total of 1219 transformants, yielding a transformation
frequency of 0.28%. An SDS-PAGE analysis confirmed that the 1Bx14 gene was expressed in three T1 seeds of the transgenic plants. Our results demonstrated that it is feasible to obtain marker-free
trans-formants using the linear-expression-cassette-transformation approach coupled with PCR selection. 相似文献

Selectable marker (SM) genes have been considered necessary to achieve acceptable rates in the generation of transgenic plants.
Genes encoding antibiotic or herbicide resistance are widely used for this purpose. In most cases, once transgenic plants
have been regenerated, permanence of SM genes in the plant genome is no longer necessary, and it becomes a matter of public
concern. Moreover, the removal of SM genes from transgenic plants could facilitate gene stacking through successive transformations,
particularly when the availability of these markers is rather limited for most crop plants. In the genus Citrus, with highly heterozygotic species of long generation cycles, methods implying the segregation and removal of marker transgenes
in the progeny are not feasible. Here, we have evaluated the direct production of SM-free citrus plants under non-selective
conditions, using a “clean” binary vector carrying only the transgene of interest, and through the recovery of transformants
by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of all regenerated shoots. The response of two different citrus genotypes, Carrizo
citrange (intergeneric hybrid of C. sinensis L. Osb. X Poncirus trifoliata L. Raf.) and Pineapple sweet orange (C. sinensis L. Osb.), was evaluated. Our results indicate that, in this system, the competence between transgenic and non-transgenic
cells is the main factor determining final transgenic regeneration frequencies. For Carrizo citrange, no transgenic plant
could be recovered. For Pineapple sweet orange, marker-free transformation efficiency was 1.7%, paving the way for the viable
production of orange transformants carrying only the transgene(s) of interest. 相似文献

The technologies allowing the production of transgenic plants without selectable marker genes, is of great interest in public
and environmental safety. For generating such marker-free transgenic plants, possibility has been offered by Multi-Auto-Transformation
[MAT] vector system, which combines positive selection, using the isopentenyl transferase (ipt) gene, with a site-specific recombination that generates marker-free plants. In this study Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 harboring an ipt-type MAT vector, pMAT21, containing lacZ, gus genes and the removable cassette in the T-DNA region was used to produce marker-free transgenic Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln., employing ipt gene as the selectable marker gene. Co-cultivated explants were cultured on hormone- and selective agent-free MS medium,
and 85% of the regenerated shoots showed ipt-shooty phenotype with GUS expression. Forty-one morphologically normal shoots were produced during the subculture. More than
ninety percent of the normal shoots were ipt
−, gus
− but lacZ
+ as determined by PCR analyses. These results indicate that the ipt phenotype was clearly distinguishable from non-transgenic as well as transgenic marker-free shoots. This study opens interesting
perspective for the generation of marker-free transgenic K. blossfeldiana with objective useful transgene. 相似文献

The use of antibiotic or herbicide resistant genes as selection markers for production of transgenic plants and their continuous
presence in the final transgenics has been a serious problem for their public acceptance and commercialization. MAT (multi-auto-transformation)
vector system has been one of the different strategies to excise the selection marker gene and produce marker-free transgenic
plants. In the present study, ipt (isopentenyl transferase) gene was used as a selection marker gene. A chitinase gene, ChiC (isolated from Streptomyces griseus strain HUT 6037) was used as a gene of interest. ChiC gene was cloned from the binary vector, pEKH1 to an ipt-type MAT vector, pMAT21 by gateway cloning and transferred to Agrobacterium
tumefaciens strain EHA105. The infected tuber discs of potato were cultured on hormone- and antibiotic-free MS medium. Seven of the 35
explants infected with the pMAT21/ChiC produced shoots. The same antibiotic- and hormones-free MS medium was used in subcultures of the shoots (ipt like and normal shoots). Molecular analyses of genomic DNA from transgenic plants confirmed the integration of gene of interest
and excision of the selection marker in 3 of the 7 clones. Expression of ChiC gene was confirmed by Northern blot and western blot analyses. Disease-resistant assay of the marker-free transgenic, in
vitro and greenhouse-grown plants exhibited enhanced resistance against Alternaria solani (early blight), Botrytis cinerea (gray mold) and Fusarium oxysporum (Fusarium wilt). From these results it could be concluded that ipt gene can be used as a selection marker to produce marker-free disease-resistant transgenic potato plants on PGR- and antibiotic-free
MS medium. 相似文献
