氨基酸生物合成抑制剂类除草剂作用机理及耐除草剂转基因植物研究进展

氨基酸是植物体内必不可少的物质,在植物的生长代谢中发挥着重要作用。与动物不同,植物的氨基酸供给全部靠自身来合成,一旦植物的氨基酸合成受阻,植物便难以继续生存。因此,植物氨基酸合成中的关键酶一直是新型除草剂研发中重要的靶标酶。在目前已经商品化的除草剂中,通过抑制植物氨基酸生物合成中的关键酶活性而发生作用的除草剂占很大比重;与此同时,随着植物转基因技术的不断发展完善,大批耐氨基酸生物合成抑制剂类除草剂转基因植物相继问世,成为了耐除草剂类转基因植物的主体。本文综述了常用的耐氨基酸生物合成抑制剂类除草剂、作用机理及耐除草剂转基因植物的研究进展。

A transgenic perspective on plant functional genomics

Transgenic crops are very much in the news due to the increasing public debate on their acceptance. In the scientific community though, transgenic plants are proving to be powerful tools to study various aspects of plant sciences. The emerging scientific revolution sparked by genomics based technologies is producing enormous amounts of DNA sequence information that, together with plant transformation methodology, is opening up new experimental opportunities for functional genomics analysis. An overview is provided here on the use of transgenic technology for the functional analysis of plant genes in model plants and a link made to their utilization in transgenic crops. In transgenic plants, insertional mutagenesis using heterologous maize transposons or Agrobacterium mediated T-DNA insertions, have been valuable tools for the identification and isolation of genes that display a mutant phenotype. To discover functions of genes that do not display phenotypes when mutated, insertion sequences have been engineered to monitor or change the expression pattern of adjacent genes. These gene detector insertions can detect adjacent promoters, enhancers or gene exons and precisely reflect the expression pattern of the tagged gene. Activation tag insertions can mis-express the adjacent gene and confer dominant phenotypes that help bridge the phenotype gap. Employment of various forms of gene silencing technology broadens the scope of recovering knockout phenotypes for genes with redundant function. All these transgenic strategies describing gene-phenotype relationships can be addressed by high throughput reverse genetics methods that will help provide functions to the genes discovered by genome sequencing. The gene functions discovered by insertional mutagenesis and silencing strategies along with expression pattern analysis will provide an integrated functional genomics perspective and offer unique applications in transgenic crops.

Assessing the impact of transgenic plant products on soil organisms

Little is known about the impact of transgenic plant products on soil organisms. However, previous research with synthetic organics, allelochemicals, and extracellular enzymes can be used to guide future research in this area. Projects designed to quantify the impact of transgenic plants on soil organisms must clearly establish that the gene products are responsible for any observed changes. This can only be achieved by determining the fate of transgenic plant gene products during the period of the soil bioassay. The overall impact of transgenic plants will be dictated by not only the primary gene product, but secondary products resulting from abiotic and biotic soil reactions. Primary and secondary products may exhibit both acute and chronic impacts. Such impacts are best quantified using a soil microcosm in which fungal populations and micro- and mesofauna are monitored.

Studying plant development in mosses: the transgenic route

The current status of transgenic studies in mosses is reviewed with particular attention being given to the mosses Physcomitrella patens and Ceratodon purpureus. This paper reviews the advantages of using mosses as models for higher plants in the study of plant development, and includes developmental processes, already partially characterized at the genetic level by mutant analysis, for which transgenic studies may be applicable. The P. patens transformation process is being studied in this laboratory and details are given for a class of transformants which contain extrachromosomal plasmid DNA. Publications which present the nucleic acid and/or protein sequence for nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial genes are reviewed. Areas of research in which transgenic studies promise to complement existing cell biological and physiological approaches are discussed. These include the measurement of calcium levels in mutant and wild-type transformants expressing the apoaequorin gene and a role for phytochrome gene expression in the establishment of polarity.     

利用人工杂交方法研究转基因对植物遗传多样性的影响

如何分析转基因对植物遗传多样性的影响一直以来是一个难题。提出了一种所谓“人工杂交”的分析方法 ,即利用具有相同遗传背景的转基因及其野生型植物群体 ,分别与一组具有代表性的遗传对象进行有性杂交 ,通过考察它们后代主要性状分离变异状况来评估转基因导入对群体遗传性状的多样性的影响。作为一个实例 ,选用了由转基因水稻及其野生型组成的 3对不同遗传群体 ,分别与 7个具有代表性 (如不同亚种、不同品种类型等 )的水稻品种进行杂交 ,获得 15对杂交组合 ,经杂种 F1 自交获得 F2 种子 ,通过观测 F2 分离世代的主要性状分离状况 ,比较和统计转基因水稻群体及其野生型群体后代的性状分离程度。结果表明 ,提出的“人工杂交”技术路线是可行的 ,为全面和深入开展相关研究开辟了一个新途径。同时根据本研究利用这 3对转基因水稻及其野生型群体的研究结果表明 ,在一些性状上转入的外源基因可以显著地增加种群内的遗传变异而在另外一些性状上却显著地减少了种群内的遗传变异 ,但尚不能得出或支持转基因植物可能对遗传多样性产生负面效应的结论。     

Marker-free transgenic corn plant production through co-bombardment

The use of particle gun for the production of marker-free plants is scant in published literature. Perhaps this is a reflection of the widely held notion that the events generated through bombardment tend to have multiple copies of transgenes, usually integrated at a single locus, features which precludes segregating away the selectable marker gene. However, our previous studies have shown that single-copy integrants are obtained at a high frequency if limited quantity of DNA is used for bombardment. Also, the concatemerized insertion of transgenes has been demonstrated to be greatly reduced if “cassette DNA” is employed in place of whole plasmid DNA for bombardment. Based on the above findings, in the present study the feasibility of co-bombardment was evaluated for the production of marker-free plants in corn, employing a combination of limited quantity DNA and cassette DNA approaches for bombardment. Transgenic events were generated after co-bombardment of a selectable marker cassette containing the nptII gene (2.5 ng per shot) and a GUS gene cassette (15 ng per shot). Among these events single-copy integrants for nptII gene occurred at an average frequency of 68% within which the co-expression frequency of GUS and nptII genes ranged from 41% to 80%. Marker-free corn plants could be identified from the progeny of 28 out of the 103 R0 co-expressing events screened. The results demonstrate that by using cassette DNA and low quantities of DNA for bombardment, marker-free plants are produced at efficiencies comparable to that of Agrobacterium-based co-transformation methods.

Quantification of transgenic plant marker gene persistence in the field

Methods were developed to monitor persistence of genomic DNA in decaying plants in the field. As a model, we used recombinant neomycin phosphotransferase II (rNPT-II) marker genes present in genetically engineered plants. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers were designed, complementary to 20-bp sequences of the nopaline synthase promoter in a transgenic tobacco and the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter in a transgenic potato. The PCR reverse primer was complementary to a 20-bp sequence of the N-terminal NPT-II coding region. The PCR protocol allowed for quantification of as few as 10 rNPT-II genes per reaction. We analysed rNPT-II marker gene amounts in samples obtained from two field experiments performed at different locations in Oregon. In transgenic tobacco leaves, buried at 10 cm depth in a field plot in Corvallis, marker DNA amount dropped to 0.36% during the first 14 days and was detectable for 77 days at a final level of 0.06% of the initial amount. Monitoring of residual potato plant litter, from the soil surface of a test field in Hermiston, was performed for 137 days. After 84 days marker gene amounts dropped to 2.74% (leaf and stem) and 0.50% (tuber) of the initially detected amount. At the final sample date 1.98% (leaf and stem) and 0.19% (tuber) were detectable. These results represent the first quantitative analysis of plant DNA stability under field conditions and indicate that a proportion of the plant genomic DNA may persist in the field for several months.     

Genetic modification; the development of transgenic ornamental plant varieties

Plant transformation technology (hereafter abbreviated to GM, or genetic modification) has been used to develop many varieties of crop plants, but only a few varieties of ornamental plants. This disparity in the rate and extent of commercialisation, which has been noted for more than a decade, is not because there are no useful traits that can be engineered into ornamentals, is not due to market potential and is not due to a lack of research and development activity. The GM ornamental varieties which have been released commercially have been accepted in the marketplace. In this article, progress in the development of transgenic ornamentals is reviewed and traits useful to both consumers and producers are identified. In considering possible factors limiting the release of genetically modified ornamental products it is concluded that the most significant barrier to market is the difficulty of managing, and the high cost of obtaining, regulatory approval.
