Berberis buxifolia Lam., known as “Calafate”, is a plant native to Argentina that exhibits antimicrobial activity. This biological activity
is attributed to the isoquinoline alkaloid berberine. The aim of this research was to test the antimicrobial properties of
different extracts of this species, taking berberine as the reference molecule, and to examine if the expression of bacterial
multidrug resistance (MDR) efflux pumps could be responsible for possible resistance mechanisms. To this end, a wild-type
and a mutant strain of Staphylococcus aureus with a defective MDR efflux pump were used and the minimum inhibitory concentrations of the extracts were determined. The
studies were carried out with infusions of in vivo shoots and “Calafate” commercial tea, as well as with the media derived from shoot cultures incubated with different plant
growth regulators (thidiazuron, picloram, and jasmonic acid). As far as antimicrobial activity is concerned, all the extracts
tested were significantly more effective than berberine standard. “Calafate” commercial tea and shoot tea had inhibitory concentrations
similar to the one observed for ampicillin standard. The media from the shoot cultures, however, were significantly more effective
than all the others, particularly the one derived from jasmonic acid, suggesting the presence of compounds that could be acting
synergistically with berberine. There were no differences in antimicrobial activity against the wild-type and the mutant S. aureus; no definite conclusions could be drawn concerning the relationship between MDR pumps and possible pathogen resistance to
extracts of B. buxifolia. 相似文献

Auxin receptors TIR1/AFBs play an essential role in a series of signaling network cascades. These F-box proteins have also been identified to participate in different stress responses via the auxin signaling pathway in Arabidopsis. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide, which is also a model plant for research. In the study herein, two cucumber homologous auxin receptor F-box genes CsTIR and CsAFB were cloned and studied for the first time. The deduced amino acid sequences showed a 78% identity between CsTIR and AtTIR1 and 76% between CsAFB and AtAFB2. All these proteins share similar characteristics of an F-box domain near the N-terminus, and several Leucine-rich repeat regions in the middle. Arabidopsis plants ectopically overexpressing CsTIR or CsAFB were obtained and verified. Shorter primary roots and more lateral roots were found in these transgenic lines with auxin signaling amplified. Results showed that expression of CsTIR/AFB genes in Arabidopsis could lead to higher seeds germination rates and plant survival rates than wild-type under salt stress. The enhanced salt tolerance in transgenic plants is probably caused by maintaining root growth and controlling water loss in seedlings, and by stabilizing life-sustaining substances as well as accumulating endogenous osmoregulation substances. We proposed that CsTIR/AFB-involved auxin signal regulation might trigger auxin mediated stress adaptation response and enhance the plant salt stress resistance by osmoregulation. 相似文献

As a major contributor to the flower market, Gypsophila paniculata is an important target for the breeding of new varieties. However, gypsophila breeding is strongly hampered by the sterility
of this species’ genotypes and the lack of a genetic-transformation procedure for this genus. Here we describe the establishment
of a transformation procedure for gypsophila (Gypsophila paniculata L.) based on Agrobacterium inoculation of highly regenerative stem segments. The transformation procedure employs stem explants derived from GA3-pretreated mother plants and a two-step selection scheme. The GA3 treatment was crucial for obtaining high gene-transfer frequencies (75–90% GUS-expressing explants out of total inoculated
explants), as shown using three different gypsophila varieties. An overall transformation efficiency of five GUS-expressing
shoots per 100 stem explants was demonstrated for cv. Arbel. The applicability of the transformation system to gypsophila
was further reinforced by the generation of transgenic plants expressing Agrobacterium rhizogenes
rolC driven by a CaMV 35S promoter. Transgenic gypsophila plantlets exhibited extensive rooting and branching, traits that could
be beneficial to the ornamental industry. 相似文献

Two repeated DNA sequences isolated from a partial genomic DNA library of Helianthus annuus, p HaS13 and p HaS211, were shown to represent portions of the int gene of a Ty3 /gypsy retroelement and of the RNase-Hgene of a Ty1 /copia retroelement, respectively. Southern blotting patterns obtained by hybridizing the two probes to BglII- or DraI-digested genomic DNA from different Helianthus species showed p HaS13 and p HaS211 were parts of dispersed repeats at least 8 and 7 kb in length, respectively, that were conserved in all species studied. Comparable hybridization patterns were obtained in all species with p HaS13. By contrast, the patterns obtained by hybridizing p HaS211 clearly differentiated annual species from perennials. The frequencies of p HaS13- and p HaS211-related sequences in different species were 4.3x10(4)-1.3x10(5) copies and 9.9x10(2)-8.1x10(3) copies per picogram of DNA, respectively. The frequency of p HaS13-related sequences varied widely within annual species, while no significant difference was observed among perennial species. Conversely, the frequency variation of p HaS211-related sequences was as large within annual species as within perennials. Sequences of both families were found to be dispersed along the length of all chromosomes in all species studied. However, Ty3 /gypsy-like sequences were localized preferentially at the centromeric regions, whereas Ty1/ copia-like sequences were less represented or absent around the centromeres and plentiful at the chromosome ends. These findings suggest that the two sequence families played a role in Helianthusgenome evolution and species divergence, evolved independently in the same genomic backgrounds and in annual or perennial species, and acquired different possible functions in the host genomes. 相似文献

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation system was established for Hybanthus enneaspermus using leaf explants with the strain LBA4404 harbouring pCAMBIA 2301 carrying the nptII and gusA genes. Sensitivity of leaf explants to kanamycin was standardized (100 mg/l) for screening the transgenic plants. Transformation parameters (OD, virulence inducer, infection time, co-cultivation period, bactericidal antibiotics, etc.) influencing the gene transfer and integration were assessed in the present investigation. Fourteen-day pre-cultured explants were subjected with Agrobacterium strain LBA4404. Optimized parameters such as culture density of 0.5 OD600, infection time of 6 min, AS concentration of 150 µM with 3 days co-cultivation revealed maximum transformation efficiency based on GUS expression assay. The presence of gusA in transgenics was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction and Southern blotting analysis. The present transformation experiment yielded 20 shoots/explant with higher transformation efficiency (28 %). The protocol could be used to introduce genes for trait improvement as well as for altering metabolic pathway for secondary metabolites production. 相似文献

Transient expression studies using blueberry leaf explants and monitored by -glucuronidase (GUS) assays indicated Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 was more effective than LBA4404 or GV3101; and the use of acetosyringone (AS) at 100 M for inoculation and 6 days co-cultivation was optimum compared to 2, 4, 8, 10 or 12 days. Subsequently, explants of the cultivars Aurora, Bluecrop, Brigitta, and Legacy were inoculated with strain EHA105 containing the binary vector pBISN1 with the neomycin phosphotransferase gene (nptII) and an intron-interrupted GUS gene directed by the chimeric super promoter (Aocs)3AmasPmas. Co-cultivation was for 6 days on modified woody plant medium (WPM) plus 100 M AS. Explants were then placed on modified WPM supplemented with 1.0 mg l–1 thidiazuron, 0.5 mg l–1 -naphthaleneacetic, 10 mg l–1 kanamycin (Km), and 250 mg l–1 cefotaxime. Selection for Km-resistant shoots was carried out in the dark for 2 weeks followed by culture in the light at 30 E m–2 s–1 at 25°C. After 12 weeks, selected shoots that were both Km resistant and GUS positive were obtained from 15.3% of the inoculated leaf explants of cultivar Aurora. Sixty-eight independent clones derived from such shoots all tested positive by the polymerase chain reaction using a nptII primer. Eight of eight among these 68 clones tested positive by Southern hybridization using a gusA gene derived probe. The transformation protocol also yielded Km-resistant, GUS-positive shoots that were also PCR positive at frequencies of 5.0% for Bluecrop, 10.0% for Brigitta and 5.6% for Legacy. 相似文献

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) is one of the most popular cultivated vegetables worldwide. Cabbage has rich phenotypic diversity, including plant height, head shape, head color, leaf shape and leaf color. Leaf color plays an important role in cabbage growth and development. At present, there are few reports on fine mapping of leaf color mutants in B. oleracea. In this study, a naturally occurring yellow-green leaf cabbage mutant (YL-1), derived from the self-pollinated progenies of the hybrid ‘Hosom’, was used for inheritance analysis and gene mapping. Segregation populations including F2 and BC1 were generated from the cross of two inbred lines, YL-1 and 01–20. Genetic analysis with the F2 and BC1 populations demonstrated that the yellow-green leaf color was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene, ygl-1. Insertion–deletion (InDel) markers, designed based on the parental re-sequencing data, were used for the preliminary mapping with BSA (bulked segregant analysis) method. A genetic map constructed with 15 InDels indicated that ygl-1 was located on chromosome C01. The ygl-1 gene is flanked by InDel markers ID2 and M8, with genetic distances of 0.4 cM and 0.35 cM, respectively. The interval distance between two markers is 167 kb. Thus, it enables us to locate the ygl-1 gene for the first time in B. oleracea. This study lays the foundation for candidate gene prediction and ygl-1gene cloning. 相似文献

Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 carrying plasmid pTOK233 encoding the hygromycin resistance (hph) and beta-glucuronidase (uidA) genes has been used to transform two agronomic grass species: tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) and Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum). Embryogenic cell suspension colonies or young embryogenic calli were co-cultured with Agrobacterium in the presence of acetosyringone. Colonies were grown under hygromycin selection with cefotaxime and surviving colonies plated on embryogenesis media. Eight Lolium (six independent lines) and two Festuca plants (independent lines) were regenerated and established in soil. All plants were hygromycin-resistant, but histochemical determination of GUS activity showed that only one Festuca plant and one Lolium plant expressed GUS. Three GUS-negative transgenic L. multiflorum and the two F. arundinacea plants were vernalised and allowed to flower. All three Lolium plants were male- and female-fertile, but the Festuca plants failed to produce seed. Progeny analysis of L. multiflorum showed a 24-68% inheritance of the hph and uidA genes in the three lines with no significant difference between paternal and maternal gene transmission. However, significant differences were noted between the paternal and maternal expression of hygromycin resistance. 相似文献

Summary The generation of transgenic Cucumis sativus cv. Greenlong plants resistant to phosphinothricin (PPT) was obtained using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer. The protocol relied on the regeneration of shoots from cotyledon explants. Transformed shoots were
obtained on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 4.4 μM 6-benzylaminopurine 3.8 μM abscisic acid, 108.5 μM adenine sulfate, and 2 mg l−1 phosphinothricin. Cotyledons were inoculated with the strain EHA105 harboring the neomycin phosphotransferase II (npt II), and phosphinothricin resistance (bar) genes conferring resistance to kanamycin and PPT. Transformants were selected by using increasing concentrations of PPT
(2–6 mg l−1). Elongation and rooting of putative transformants were performed on PPT-containing (2 mg l−1) medium with 1.4 μM gibberellic acid and 4.9 μM indolebutyric acid, respectively. Putative transformants were confirmed for transgene insertion through PCR and Southern
analysis. Expression of the bar gene in transformed plants was demonstrated using a leaf painting test with the herbicide Basta. Pre-culture of explants
followed by pricking, addition of 50 μM acetosyringone during infection, and selection using PPT rather than kanamycin were found to enhance transformation frequency
as evidenced by transient β-glucuronidase assay. Out of 431 co-cultivated explants, 7.2% produced shoots that rooted and grew
on PPT, and five different plants (1.1%) were demonstrated to be transgenic following Southern hybridization. 相似文献

A regeneration and transformation system has been developed using organogenic calluses derived from soybean axillary nodes
as the starting explants. Leaf-node or cotyledonary-node explants were prepared from 7 to 8-d-old seedlings. Callus was induced
on medium containing either Murashige and Skoog (MS) salts or modified Finer and Nagasawa (FNL) salts and B5 vitamins with
various concentrations of benzylamino purine (BA) and thidiazuron (TDZ). The combination of BA and TDZ had a synergistic effect
on callus induction. Shoot differentiation from the callus occurred once the callus was transferred to medium containing a
low concentration of BA. Subsequently, shoots were elongated on medium containing indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), zeatin riboside,
and gibberellic acid (GA). Plant regeneration from callus occurred 90 ∼ 120 d after the callus was cultured on shoot induction
medium. Both the primary callus and the proliferated callus were used as explants for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The calluses were inoculated with A. tumefaciens harboring a binary vector with the bar gene as the selectable marker gene and the gusINT gene for GUS expression. Usually 60–100% of the callus showed transient GUS expression 5 d after inoculation. Infected
calluses were then selected on media amended with various concentrations of glufosinate. Transgenic soybean plants have been
regenerated and established in the greenhouse. GUS expression was exhibited in various tissues and plant organs, including
leaf, stem, and roots. Southern and T1 plant segregation analysis of transgenic events showed that transgenes were integrated into the soybean genome with a copy
number ranging from 1–5 copies. 相似文献

In vitro culture and genetic transformation of black gram are difficult due to its recalcitrant nature. Establishment of gene transfer procedure is a prerequisite to develop transgenic plants of black gram in a shorter period. Therefore, genetic transformation was performed to optimize the factors influencing transformation efficiency through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated in planta transformation using EHA 105 strain harbouring reporter gene, bar, and selectable marker, gfp-gus, in sprouted half-seed explants of black gram. Several parameters, such as co-cultivation, acetosyringone concentration, exposure time to sonication, and vacuum infiltration influencing in planta transformation, have been evaluated in this study. The half-seed explants when sonicated for 3 min and vacuum infiltered for 2 min at 100 mm of Hg in the presence of A. tumefaciens (pCAMBIA1304– bar) suspensions and incubated for 3 days co-cultivation in MS medium with 100 µM acetosyringone showed maximum transformation efficiency (46 %). The putative transformants were selected by inoculating co-cultivated seeds in BASTA® (4 mg l?1) containing MS medium followed by BASTA® foliar spray on 15-day-old black gram plants (35 mg l?1) in green house, and the transgene integration was confirmed by biochemical assay (GUS), Polymerase chain reaction, Dot-blot, and Southern hybridisation analyses. 相似文献

Gametophytic self-incompatibility, a natural mechanism occurring in pear and other fruit-tree species, is usually controlled by the S-locus with allelic variants ( S1, S2, Sn). Recently, biochemical and molecular tools have determined the S-genotype of cultivars in various species. The present study determined the S-locus composition of ten European pear cultivars via S-PCR molecular assay, thereby obviating time-consuming fieldwork whose results are often ambiguous because of environmental effects. To verify the S-PCR assay, two putative S-allele DNA fragments of Japanese pear were isolated; their sequences proved to be identical to those reported in the databank. Six S-allele fragments of European pear were then sequenced. While field data confirmed the molecular results, fully and half-compatible field crosses were not distinguishable. 相似文献

The present study is aimed to identify genetic variability between two species of Amaranthus viz., A. caudatus and A. hybridus subsp. cruentus, two economically important species, cultivated mainly for grain production. Karyomorphological studies in Amaranthus are scarce, probably due to higher number of small sized chromosomes. Karyomorphological studies were conducted using mitotic squash preparation of young healthy root tips. Karyological parameters and karyotypic formula were established using various software programs and tabulated the karyomorphometric and asymmetry indices viz., Disparity index, Variation coefficient, Total forma percentage, Karyotype asymmetry index, Syi index, Rec index, Interchromosomal and Intrachromosomal asymmetry index and Degree of asymmetry of karyotypes. The mitotic chromosome number observed for A. caudatus was 2n = 32 with a gametic number n = 16 and A. hybridus subsp. cruentus was 2n = 34 with a gametic number n = 17. In A. caudatus the chromosome length during somatic metaphase ranged from 0.8698 to 1.7722 μm with a total length of 39.1412 μm. In A. hybridus subsp. cruentus the length of chromosome ranged from 0.7756 to 1.9421 μm with a total length of 44.9922 μm. Various karyomorphometry and asymmetry indices analyzed revealed the extend of interspecific variation and their evolutionary status. 相似文献

Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) possesses gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) which is controlled by S-RNase in the pistil as well as a pollen S-determinant that has not been well characterized. The identification of S-locus F-box brother (SFBB) genes, which are good candidates for the pollen S-determinant in apple and pear, indicated the presence of multiple S-allelic polymorphic F-box genes at the S-locus. In apple, two SFBB gene groups have been described, while there are at least three groups in pear. In this report, we identified five MdSLFB (S-RNase-linked F-box) genes from four different S-genotypes of apple. These genes showed pollen- and S-allele-specific expression with a high polymorphism among S-alleles. The phylogenetic tree suggested that some of them belong to SFBBα or β groups as described previously, while others
appear to be different from SFBBs. In particular, the presence of MdSLFB3 and MdSLFB9 suggested that there are more S-allelic polymorphic F-box gene groups in the S-locus besides α and β. Based on the sequence polymorphism of MdSLFBs, we developed an S-genotyping system for apple cultivars. In addition, we isolated twelve MdSLFB-like genes, which showed pollen-specific expression without S-allelic polymorphism. 相似文献
