高灵敏度电化学发光PCR方法检测花椰菜花叶病毒35 S启动子

大多数转基因植物中使用花椰菜花叶病毒(cauliflower mosaic virus,CaMV)35 S作为启动子,因此可通过检测该启动子来判断植物样品中是否含有转基因成分。实验将高灵敏度电化学发光PCR方法用于检测转基因烟草中的CaMV35 S启动子,将该启动子的PCR产物与生物素标记的探针杂交,可以起到特异性筛选产物的作用;与发光标记物——三联吡啶钌标记的探针杂交,从而实现电化学发光检测。两种探针同时与待测样品的PCR产物进行杂交,进一步对样品进行特异性筛选,从而提高了检测的准确性,避免了假阳性结果的产生。实验结果表明:该法可以准确的区分待测样品中是否含有35 S启动子,从而区别转基因烟草和非转基因烟草。电化学发光PCR方法灵敏度高,可靠性强,操作简便,结果准确,有望成为一种高效的转基因植物检测方法。

Modification of Vacuolar Chitinase and Osmotin cDNAs of Tobacco for Extracellular Secretion and their Cloning with CaMV 35S Promoter

Complete coding region clones of basic chitinase and osmotin genes were obtained using PCR from cDNAs previously isolated from tobacco floral bud day 7 (Fb7) explants. These genes code for vacuolar forms of chitinase and osmotin. To secrete their protein products extracellularly, stop codons were introduced into the cDNAs before the vacuolar targetting signal using PCR. Constructs have been made with both, full length cDNAs and truncated cDNAs of chitinase and osmotin for plant transformation in Agrobacterium binary vector pGA 470 in which these cDNAs are under the control of CaMV 35S promoter.     

干旱诱导性启动子驱动的海藻糖－6－磷酸合酶基因载体的构建及转基因烟草的耐旱性

The trehalose-6-phosphate synthase gene (TPS) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hansen and the drought-responsive promoter from Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. have been cloned by PCR procedure. A plant expression vector with TPS under control of Prd29A has been constructed and used for the genetic transformation of tobacco. The transgenic tobacco with Prd29A/TSP demonstrated TPS expression with increased drought tolerance under drought stress. Some obvious morphological changes including dwarf and fine shoot, lancet-shaped leaves and vigorous auxiliary buds have been observed in a few transformed plants.     

An Isopentyl Transferase Gene Driven by the Stress-Inducible rd29A Promoter Improves Salinity Stress Tolerance in Transgenic Tobacco

Soil salinity is a serious worldwide problem. To improve the salt tolerance of plants, an increasing number of genes related to abiotic stress have been recently expressed by genetic engineers. In the present study, the successful introduction into tobacco of isopentenyl transferase (IPT) from Agrobacterium tumefaciens via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is reported. A stress-inducible genetic construct was cloned using IPT under the control of the stress-inducible promoter rd29A from Arabidopsis thaliana. A total of 40 putative transgenic plant lines were obtained from independent Kan-resistant shoots. IPT integration into the tobacco genome was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blot analyses. Four positive transgenic lines each with a single T-DNA insertion were obtained. Real-time PCR confirmed a marked increase in IPT expression in young tobacco plants harboring rd29A-IPT after short-term exposure to salt. Ectopic IPT overexpression IPT under the control of the stress-inducible rd29A promoter resulted in significantly enhanced tolerance to salt stress. No obvious adverse effect on growth and development was observed in transgenic plants. Two IPT transgenic lines, T10 and T25, were chosen for further physiological analyses. The leaves of transgenic tobacco plants showed significantly prolonged chlorophyll retention times under a 2-week salt-stress treatment (150?mmol?L^?1). In contrast, the leaves of the non-transformed plants (wild type) gradually senesced under the same condition. After re-watering for 2?weeks, chlorophyll in transgenic plants increased to a level comparable with that in the unstressed plants. On the other hand, the level in the non-transgenic control still remained low. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels increased in both transgenic plants and the control after salt stress. However, the MDA levels only mildly increased in transgenic plants, and dramatically increased in the control. After re-watering for 7?days, MDA in transgenic plants returned to normal, whereas the level in the control remained high. Superoxide dismutase activity also similarly increased in transgenic plants during salt stress, and returned to normal after re-watering. These results indicate that enhanced reactive oxygen species scavenging capability may play a significant role in acquiring tolerance to abiotic stress.     

Activation of a Bean Chitinase Promoter in Transgenic Tobacco Plants by Phytopathogenic Fungi

The temporal and spatial expression of a bean chitinase promoter has been investigated in response to fungal attack. Analysis of transgenic tobacco plants containing a chimeric gene composed of a 1.7-kilobase fragment carrying the chitinase 5B gene promoter fused to the coding region of the gus A gene indicated that the chitinase promoter is activated during attack by the fungal pathogens Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani, and Sclerotium rolfsii. Although induction of [beta]-glucuronidase activity was observed in tissues that had not been exposed to these phytopathogens, the greatest induction occurred in and around the site of fungal infection. The increase in [beta]-glucuronidase activity closely paralleled the increase in endogenous tobacco chitinase activity produced in response to fungal infection. Thus, the chitinase 5B-gus A fusion gene may be used to analyze the cellular and molecular details of the activation of the host defense system during pathogen attack.

Combinatorial and synergistic properties of CaMV 35S enhancer subdomains.

We have analyzed expression conferred by five subdomains of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S enhancer in mature transgenic plants. Expression was detected from subdomains that gave no expression at earlier stages of development indicating developmental regulation of expression and confirming the modular organization of the enhancer. In several cases the expression patterns are highly restricted in cell type, providing useful markers for developmental studies. Comparison of expression patterns conferred by various combinations of 35S enhancer cis-elements suggests that synergistic interactions among cis-elements may play an important role in defining tissue-specific expression. This has implications for the nature of a cis-element combinatorial code that could define expression throughout development.

Expression of a chimeric CaMV 35S Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal protein gene in transgenic tobacco

Insecticidal transgenic tobacco plants containing a truncated Bacillus thuringiensis cryIA(b) crystal protein (ICP) gene expressed from the CaMV 35S promoter were analyzed for ICP gene expression under field and greenhouse conditions over the course of a growing season. We present new information on temporal and tissue-specific expression of a CaMV 35S/cryIA(b) gene. Levels of cryIA(b) protein and mRNA were compared in both homozygous and hemizygous lines throughout plant development. Levels of ICP mRNA and protein increased during plant development with a pronounced rise in expression at the time of flowering. Homozygous ICP lines produced higher levels of ICP than the corresponding hemizygous lines. ELISA analysis of different tissues in the tobacco plant showed ICP gene expression in most tissues with a predominance of ICP in older tissue. All transgenic ICP tobacco lines which were studied in the field and greenhouse contained 400 ng to 1 g ICP per gram fresh weight in leaves from the mid-section of the plant at flowering. The amounts of ICP produced by field lines were directly comparable to levels observed in greenhouse-grown plants.

The Expression of a Cytosolic Cyclophilin Promoter from Periwinkle in Transgenic Tobacco Plants

The cloning of a 465 bp fragment from the 5-flanking region of the gene encoding a cytosolic cyclophilin from periwinkle was achieved through inverse polymerase chain reaction. The DNA fragment was fused to a gusA-intron marker then introduced into tobacco by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. Histochemical analysis of the transgenic shoot cultures demonstrated that the construct was able to drive GUS expression in stomata guard cells, but not in mesophyll cells when shoots were still attached to the callus from which they were initiated. In separated transgenic shoots and in seedlings, GUS was expressed in external and internal phloem and root hairs, respectively. GUS activity in transgenic tobacco seedlings was also investigated by fluorimetric assays. Treatments with NaCl or ABA decreased promoter activity whereas treatment with yeast extracts increased it.
