A transgene stacking system is a prerequisite for the introduction of multiple genes and for the modification of complex metabolic pathways in plants. We demonstrate here that the MAT-vector system previously used for generating marker-free transgenic plants is also an efficient and reliable transformation system for the repeated introduction of multiple transgenes independent of sexual crossing. We previously reported that the GST-MAT vector system, in which excision of the yeast site-specific recombination R/RS system is regulated by the maize GST-II-27 promoter, could generate marker-free transgenic plants containing a single transgene with high frequency. Here we show that the GST-MAT vector can be used successfully to introduce a second transgene (GFP) into a marker-free transgenic tobacco line containing single copies of the first transgenes (nptII and uidA genes). The transgene-stacked marker-free transgenic tobacco plants were generated from ca. 20% of excision-positive ipt-shooty explants within 5 months of Agrobacterium infection. The presence of uidA, nptII, GFP genes and the absence of the ipt gene were verified by PCR analyses. Furthermore, Southern blot analysis showed that no chromosomal rearrangements were introduced between the first and second transformations. 相似文献

We describe here a practical system for generating selectable marker-free transgenic woody plants independent of sexual crossing. We previously reported that the GST-MAT vector system could produce marker-free transgenic tobacco plants containing a single-copy transgene at high frequency. The GST-MAT vector system consists of a DNA excision cassette of the R/RS site-specific recombination system from Zygosaccharomyces rouxii into which the isopentenyltransferase gene from Agrobacterium tumefaciens has been inserted. In this study, we applied this new GST-MAT vector to hybrid aspen (Populus Sieboldii X Populus grandidentata), a model of vegetatively propagated plant species, to produce selectable marker-free transgenic woody plants. In the new GST-MAT vector, the chimeric ipt gene fused with a light-inducible rbcS promoter efficiently produced transgenic ipt-shooty with GUS activity from 38.0% of infected stems. Upon excision of the R and ipt genes between RS sites, regulated by the inducible promoter of the maize glutathione-S-transferase (GST-II-27) gene, 3 (21.4%) transgenic hybrid aspen plants with marker-free and normal phenotype were generated from 14 ipt-shooty lines within 2 months after cutting induction. These results suggest that the MAT-vector system might be useful for removing a selectable marker gene independent of sexual crossing in vegetatively propagated species. 相似文献

Summary The IncW plasmid R388 and the DNA region of Tn21 containing the Smr and the Sur genes are capable of RecA-independent recombination. This recombination occurs at a relatively high frequency (up to 10-4 recombinants per recipient molecule) and results in integration of the two plasmids. No detectable repeats are formed in the process. The crossover points have been confined to a 0.4-kb homologous segment in both plasmids which contains a 59-bp DNA sequence presumably involved in the acquisition of new genes by Tn21 and its relatives (Cameron et al. 1986). It is likely that the recombination occurs precisely at this point. At least one trans-acting function (an integrase) is required for the site-specific recombination. It has been localized to a 1456-bp BstEII-BamHI fragment of Tn21 and can efficiently complement the integration of plasmids containing the integration site. 相似文献

Cre-lox mediated site-specific integration in tobacco or Arabidopsis used polyethylene glycol or Agrobacterium, respectively, to deliver the integrating DNA. The polyethylene glycol method is inconvenient since it requires the use of protoplasts. The Agrobacterium method is inefficient as the single-stranded T-DNA is not a substrate for Cre-lox recombination. In this study, we tested the biolistic method for the site-specific insertion of DNA into the rice genome. Two target callus lines, each harboring a single genomic lox target, were generated by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The target callus lines were subjected to a second round of transformation by particle bombardment with a construct designed to excise the plasmid backbone from the integrating DNA, followed by the recombination of the integrating DNA into the genomic lox target. Site-specific integration was obtained from both target callus lines. Three integrant plants were regenerated from one target line and were found to have a precise copy of the integrating DNA at the target site, although only one plant has the integrating DNA as the sole copy in the genome. Site-specific integration through the biolistic delivery of DNA can be considered for other plants that are transformable via particle bombardment. 相似文献

We developed a site-directed integration (SDI) system for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation to precisely integrate a single copy of a desired gene into a predefined target locus by recombinase-mediated
cassette exchange (RMCE). We produced site-specific transgenic tobacco plants from four target lines and examined expression
of the transgene in T1 site-specific transgenic tobacco plants, which were obtained by backcrossing. We found that site-specific
transgenic plants from the same target lines showed approximately the same level of expression of the transgene. Moreover,
we demonstrated that site-specific transgenic plants showed much less variability of transgene expression than random-integration
transgenic plants. Interestingly, transgenes in the same direction at the same target locus showed the same level of activity,
but transgenes in different directions showed different levels of activity. The expression levels of transgene did not correlate
with those of the target gene. Our results showed that the SDI system could benefit the precise comparisons between different
gene constructs, the characterization of different chromosomal regions and the cost-effective screening of reliable transgenic
plants. 相似文献

The 11.3 kb plasmid pSE101 integrates into the chromosome of Saccharopolyspora erythraea at a specific attB site and into the chromosome of Streptomyces lividans at many sites. Multisite integration in S. lividans was also observed when a 1.9 kb segment of pSE101 containing attP and adjacent plasmid sequence was used to transform a pSE101–
S. lividans host. Nucleotide sequencing of this segment revealed the presence of a complete open reading frame (ORF) designated int, encoding a putative polypeptide of 448 amino acids that shows similarities to site-specific recombinases of the integrase family. Sequencing of the 1.3 kb segment upstream of int revealed the presence of three additional ORFs: the one most distal to int encodes a putative 76 amino acid basic polypeptide analogous to the Xis proteins of a number of bacteriophages. Nucleotide sequencing of attP, and the attB, attL and attR sites from Sac. erythraea revealed a 46 by sequence common to all sites with no duplications of chromosomal sequences in the integrated state. A putative structural gene for a tRNAThr was found to overlap the 46 by common sequence at attB. Sequencing of four pSE101 integration sites (attB) and corresponding attL and attR sites in S. lividans showed that the 46 by sequence was present at each attR site, whereas only the first three bases, CTT, were retained at each attL and attB site. A feature common to the four attB sites and to attB is a highly conserved 21 by segment with inverted repeats flanking the CTT sequence. This indicates that crossover at each attB site in S. lividans employed attP and a site within a 5 by sequence in attB and suggests that the secondary structure of the 21 by sequence is important for site-specific integration at attB or attB. 相似文献

Site-specific excisional recombination strategies for elimination of undesirable transgenes from crop plants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
David Gidoni Vibha Srivastava Nir Carmi 《In vitro cellular & developmental biology. Plant》2008,44(6):457-467
A major limitation of crop biotechnology and breeding is the lack of efficient molecular technologies for precise engineering
of target genomic loci. While transformation procedures have become routine for a growing number of plant species, the random
introduction of complex transgenenic DNA into the plant genome by current methods generates unpredictable effects on both
transgene and homologous native gene expression. The risk of transgene transfer into related plant species and consumers is
another concern associated with the conventional transformation technologies. Various approaches to avoid or eliminate undesirable
transgenes, most notably selectable marker genes used in plant transformation, have recently been developed. These approaches
include cotransformation with two independent T-DNAs or plasmid DNAs followed by their subsequent segregation, transposon-mediated
DNA elimination, and most recently, attempts to replace bacterial T-DNA borders and selectable marker genes with functional
equivalents of plant origin. The use of site-specific recombination to remove undesired DNA from the plant genome and concomitantly,
via excision-mediated DNA rearrangement, switch-activate by choice transgenes of agronomical, food or feed quality traits
provides a versatile “transgene maintenance and control” strategy that can significantly contribute to the transfer of transgenic
laboratory developments into farming practice. This review focuses on recent reports demonstrating the elimination of undesirable
transgenes (essentially selectable marker and recombinase genes) from the plant genome and concomitant activation of a silent
transgene (e.g., a reporter gene) mediated by different site-specific recombinases driven by constitutive or chemically, environmentally
or developmentally regulated promoters. These reports indicate major progress in excision strategies which extends application
of the technology from annual, sexually propagated plants towards perennial, woody and vegetatively propagated plants. Current
trends and future prospects for optimization of excision-activation machinery and its practical implementation for the generation
of transgenic plants and plant products free of undesired genes are discussed. 相似文献

Excision of selectable marker gene from transgenic tobacco using the GM-gene-deletor system regulated by a heat-inducible promoter 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To excise a selectable marker gene from transgenic plants, a new binary expression vector based on the 'genetically modified (GM)-gene-deletor' system was constructed. In this vector, the gene coding for FLP site-specific recombinase under the control of a heat shock-inducible promoter HSP18.2 from Arabidopsis thaliana and isopentenyltransferase gene (ipt), as a selectable marker gene under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S (CaMV 35S) promoter, were flanked by two loxP/FRT fusion sequences as recombination sites in direct orientation. Histochemical staining for GUS activity showed that, upon induction by heat shock, all exogenous DNA, including the selectable marker gene ipt, beta-glucuronidase (gusA) gene and the FLP recombinase gene, between two loxP/FRT sites was eliminated efficiently from primary transgenic tobacco plants. Molecular analysis further confirmed that excision of the marker gene (ipt) was heritable and stable. Our approach provides a reliable strategy for auto-excising a selectable marker gene from calli, shoots or other tissues of transgenic plants after transformation and producing marker-free transgenic plants. 相似文献

A chloramphenicol-resistance gene (cml) was introduced into the Lactobacillus plantarum gene encoding conjugated bile acid hydrolasc (cbh) on a ColEl replicon. This plasmid which is nonreplicative in Lactobacillus was used to transform L. plantarum strain 80. A homologous double cross-over recombination event resulted in replacement of the chromosomal cbh gene by the cml-containing cbh gene. The transformants obtained were unable to synthesize active conjugated bile acid hydrolase (Cbh). The Cbh-CmlR phenotype was stably maintained for more than 100 generations under nonselective conditions.This paper is dedicated with great appreciation to Dr. Frits Berends on the occasion of his retirement as Head of the Biochemistry Department of the TNO Medical Biological Laboratory 相似文献

Producing hybrid seed requires an efficient pollination control system to prevent unwanted self-pollination. For further breeding, it would be advantageous to restore pollen fertility in the hybrids. In this work we demonstrate the use of tapetum-specific expression of a stilbene synthase (sts) transgene to induce pollen sterility in tobacco as has been shown previously. The sts-coding region was flanked by loxP recognition sites for Cre-recombinase. From 10 T0-plants obtained, five proved to be male-sterile. They had smaller flowers with shorter stamina, but the vegetative phenotype was just as in the wild-type. Crossing male-sterile sts-plants with tobacco lines expressing the cre recombinase transgene resulted in site-specific recombination in the hybrids. GUS activity caused by fusion of the tap1-promoter with a promoterless gusA coding region indicated recombination events already in early stages of flower bud development. In all plants which had contained single or double sts-copies before crossing, these were excised, and pollen fertility was fully restored. The phenotype of these restored plants was as in wild-type controls. Contrary, from male sterile plants containing multiple copies of the sts-gene, not all copies were removed, and pollen sterility was maintained. 相似文献

The small serine resolvase ParA from bacterial plasmids RK2 and RP4 catalyzes the recombination of two identical 133 bp recombination
sites known as MRS. Previously, we reported that ParA is active in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. In this work, the parA recombinase gene was placed under the control of the Arabidopsis
OXS3 promoter and introduced into Arabidopsis lines harboring a chromosomally integrated MRS-flanked target. The ParA recombinase excised the MRS-flanked DNA and the excision event was detected in subsequent generations in the absence of ParA, indicating germinal transmission
of the excision event. The precise site-specific deletion by the ParA recombination system in planta demonstrates that the
ParA recombinase can be used to remove transgenic DNA, such as selectable markers or other introduced transgenes that are
no longer desired in the final product. 相似文献

Excision of a DNA segment can occur in Arabidopsis thaliana by reciprocal recombination between two specific recombination sites (RSs) when the recombinase gene (R) from Zygosaccharomyces rouxii is expressed in the plant. To monitor recombination events, we generated several lines of transgenic Arabidopsis plants that carried a cryptic -glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene which was designed in such a way that expression of the reporter gene could be induced by R gene-mediated recombination. We also made several transgenic lines with an R gene linked to the 35S promoter of cauliflower mosaic virus. Each transgenic line carrying the cryptic reporter gene was crossed with each line carrying the R gene. Activity of GUS in F1 and F2 progeny was examined histochemically and recombination between two RSs was analyzed by Southern blotting and the polymerase chain reaction. In seedlings and plantlets of F1 progeny and most of the F2 progeny, a variety of patterns of activity of GUS, including sectorial chimerism in leaves, was observed. A small percentage of F2 individuals exhibited GUS activity in the entire plant. This pattern of expression was ascribed to germinal recombination in the F1 generation on the basis of an analysis of DNA structure by Southern blotting. These results indicate that R gene-mediated recombination can be induced in both somatic and germ cells of A. thaliana by cross-pollination of parental transgenic lines. 相似文献

Selectable marker genes that usually encode antibiotic or herbicide resistances are widely used for the selection of transgenic plants, but they become unnecessary and undesirable after transformation selection. An important strategy to improve the transgenic plants' biosafety is to eliminate the marker genes after successful selection. In the FLP/frt site-specific system of 2-μm plasmid from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the FLP enzyme efficiently catalyzes recombination between two directly repeated FLP recombination target (frt) sites, eliminating the sequence between them. By controlled expression of the FLP recombinase and specific allocation of the frt sites within transgenic constructs, the system can be applied to eliminate the marker genes after selection. Through a series of procedures, the plant FLP/frt site-specific recombination system was constructed, which included the frt-containing vector pCAMBIA1300-betA-frt-als-frt and the FLP expression vector pCAMBIA1300-hsp-FLP-hpt. The FLP recombinase gene was introduced into transgenic (betA-frt-als-frt) tobacco plants by re-transformation. In re-transgenic plants, after heat-shock treatment, the marker gene als flanked by two identical orientation frt sites could be excised by the inducible expression of FLP recombinase under the control of hsp promoter. Excision of the als gene was found in 41 % re-transgenic tobacco plants, which indicated that this system could make a great contribution obtaining the marker-free transgenic plants. 相似文献

The concept of gene identification and cloning using insertional mutagenesis is well established. Many genes have been isolated using T-DNA transformation or transposable elements. Maize transposable elements have been introduced into heterologous plant species for tagging experiments. The behaviour of these elements in heterologous hosts shows many similarities with transposon behaviour in Zea mays. Site-specific recombination systems from lower organisms have also been shown to function efficiently in plant cells. Combining transposon and site-specific recombination systems in plants would create the possibility to induce chromosomal deletions. This transposition-deletion system could allow the screening of large segments of the genome for interesting genes and may also permit the cloning of the DNA corresponding to the deleted material by the same site-specific recombination reaction in vitro. This methodology may provide a unique means to construct libraries of large DNA clones derived from defined parts of the genome, the phenotypic contribution of which is displayed by the mutant carrying the deletion. 相似文献

Expression and inheritance of foreign genes in transgenic peanut plants generated byAgrobacterium-mediated transformation 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
To evaluate and characterize the stability of traits transferred viaAgrobacterium transformation, foreign gene expression must be examined in sexually derived progeny. The objective of this study was to analyze three transgenic peanut plants, 1-10, 12-1, and 17-1, for the inheritance and expression of their foreign genes. Segregation ratios for the introduced genes in T2 plants gave either 100% or 3:1 expression of the -glucuronidase (GUS) gene, demonstrating recovery of both homozygous and heterozygous T1 plants. Fluorometric GUS assay in T1 and T2 generations of all three plants showed that the GUS gene was stably expressed in the progeny. DNA analyses showed 100% concordance between the presence of the foreign gene and enzyme activity. Our results demonstrate that transgenes in peanut introduced byAgrobacterium can be inherited in a Mendelian manner.Abbreviations

The presence of marker genes conferring antibiotic resistance in transgenic plants represents a serious obstacle for their public acceptance and future commercialization. In citrus, selection using the selectable marker gene nptII, that confers resistance to the antibiotic kanamycin, is in general very effective. An attractive alternative is offered by the MAT system (Multi-Auto-Transformation), which combines the ipt gene for positive selection with the recombinase system R/RS for removal of marker genes from transgenic cells after transformation. Transformation with a MAT vector has been attempted in two citrus genotypes, Pineapple sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osb.) and Carrizo citrange (C. sinensis L. Osb. × Poncirus trifoliata L. Raf.). Results indicated that the IPT phenotype was clearly distinguishable in sweet orange but not in citrange, and that excision was not always efficient and precise. Nevertheless, the easy visual detection of the IPT phenotype combined with the higher transformation efficiency achieved in sweet orange using this system open interesting perspectives for the generation of marker-free transgenic citrus plants. 相似文献
