Two synthetic brassinosteroids, 24-epibrassinolide (24-epiBR) and 2,3, 17-trihydroxy-5-androstan-6-one (THA-BR), exhibit different effects on growth of tobacco callus tissue. When added to a culture medium containing growth-limiting amounts of auxin, 24-epiBR reduced and THA-BR increased the fresh weight yield of tissue up to 53% and 207%, respectively, after 6 weeks of cultivation. The stimulatory and inhibitory effects of the two brassinosteroids on tissue growth occurred over a broad range of concentrations without a pronounced maximum corresponding to the yes or no type of response. Different effects of 24-epiBR and THA-BR on tissue growth were inversely proportional to the content of endogenous cytokinins. Maximum contents of predominant cytokinins N6-(2-isopentenyl)adenine (iP) and trans-zeatin (Z) in tissues supplied with 24-epiBR in growth-inhibiting concentrations were up to 3.7 fold and 3.4 fold higher, respectively, as compared to tissues grown on media containing growth-stimulating concentrations of THA-BR. Stimulation of tissue growth by THA-BR correlated with content of endogenous IAA and an inverse correlation was found between the content of endogenous IAA and cytokinins in tissues supplied with 24-epiBR. THA-BR exhibited weak cytokinin-like activity in a bioassay based on stimulation of growth of lateral buds of pea while 24-epiBR was inactive. Results indicate that the qualitatively different effects of the two brassinosteroids on growth of tobacco tissue may reflect their different influence on content of endogenous cytokinin.Abbreviations BR(s)

Osmotin is a small (24 kDa), basic, pathogenesis-related protein, that accumulates during adaptation of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) cells to osmotic stress. There are more than 10 inducers that activate the osmotin gene in various plant tissues. The osmotin promoter contains several sequences bearing a high degree of similarity to ABRE, as-1 and E-8 cis element sequences. Gel retardation studies indicated the presence of at least two regions in the osmotin promoter that show specific interactions with nuclear factors isolated from cultured cells or leaves. The abundance of these binding factors increased in response to salt, ABA and ethylene. Nuclear factors protected a 35 bp sequence of the promoter from DNase I digestion. Different 5 deletions of the osmotin promoter cloned into a promoter-less GUS-NOS plasmid (pBI 201) were used in transient expression studies with a Biolistic gun. The transient expression studies revealed the presence of three distinct regions in the osmotin promoter. The promoter sequence from –108 to –248 bp is absolutely required for reporter gene activity, followed by a long stretch (up to –1052) of enhancer-like sequence and then a sequence upstream of –1052, which appears to contain negative elements. The responses to ABA, ethylene, salt, desiccation and wounding appear to be associated with the –248 bp sequence of the promoter. This region also contains a putative ABRE (CACTGTG) core element. Activation of the osmotin gene by various inducers is discussed in view of antifungal activity of the osmotin protein. 相似文献

Previously, assay conditions for the GUS enzyme have required lethal and/or destructive conditions which do not allow for
the continued observation of living plants. The replacement of sodium phosphate buffer with potassium phosphate buffer and
the removal of potassium ferrocyanide and EDTA resulted in an assay for the GUS enzyme that is both nondestructive and nonlethal
to tobacco plants and therefore allows observations of tobacco roots through time. 相似文献

The ipt gene from the T-DNA of Agrobacterium tumefaciens was transferred to tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) in order to study the control which auxin appears to exert over levels of cytokinin generated by expression of this gene. The transgenic tissues contained elevated levels of cytokinins, exhibited cytokinin and auxin autonomy and grew as shooty calli on hormone-free media. Addition of 1-naphthylacetic acid to this culture medium reduced the total level of cytokinins by 84% while 6-benzylaminopurine elevated the cytokinin level when added to media containing auxin. The cytokinins in the transgenic tissue were labelled with 3H and auxin was found to promote conversion of zeatin-type cytokinins to 3H-labelled adenine derivatives. When the very rapid metabolism of exogenous [3H]zeatin riboside was suppressed by a phenylurea derivative, a noncompetitive inhibitor of cytokinin oxidase, auxin promoted metabolism to adenine-type compounds. Since these results indicated that auxin promoted cytokinin oxidase activity in the transformed tissue, this enzyme was purified from the tobacco tissue cultures. Auxin did not increase the level of the enzyme per unit tissue protein, but did enhance the activity of the enzyme in vitro and promoted the activity of both glycosylated and non-glycosylated forms. This enhancement could contribute to the decrease in cytokinin level induced by auxin. Studies of cytokinin biosynthesis in the transgenic tissues indicated that trans-hydroxylation of isopentenyladenine-type cytokinins to yield zeatin-type cytokinins occurred principally at the nucleotide level.Abbreviations Ade

Plant oncogenes aux1 and aux2 carried by the TR-DNA of Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4 encode two enzymes involved in the auxin biosynthesis pathway in transformed plant cells. The short divergent promoter region between the two aux-coding sequences contains the main regulatory elements. This region was fused to the uidA reporter gene and introduced into Nicotiana tabacum in order to investigate the regulation and the tissue specificity of these genes. Neither wound nor hormone induction could be detected on transgenic leaf discs. However, phytohormone concentration and auxin/cytokinin balance controlled the expression of the chimaeric genes in transgenic protoplasts. The expression was localised in apical meristems, root tip meristems, lateral root primordia, in cells derived from transgenic protoplasts and in transgenic calli. Histological analysis showed that the expression was located in cells reactivated by in vitro culture. Experiments using cell-cycle inhibitors such as hydroxyurea or aphidicolin on transgenic protoplast cultures highly decreased the -glucuronidase activity of the chimaeric genes. These results as well as the histological approach suggest a correlation between expression of the aux1 and aux2 genes and cell division. 相似文献

Summary The pat gene, coding for phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT) from Streptomyces viridochromogenes, was cloned behind the par promoter of the hemoglobin gene from Parasponia andersonii, Introduction into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) resulted in predominantly root specific PAT expression. Application of 5 l/ha BASTA® (herbicidal component: phosphinothricin) did not effect growth morphology and vigor of the plants. After application of 20 l/ha BASTA® the plants showed herbicide damage. Nevertheless, they all recovered by forming new undamaged leaves and resumed full growth despite virtually non-detectable expression of the PAT enzyme in the leaves.Abbreviations BAP

A possible approach for altering alkaloid biosynthesis in plants is the expression of genes encoding key enzymes of a pathway such as lysine decarboxylase (ldc) in transgenic plants. Two strategies were followed here: one focused on expression of the gene in the cytoplasm, the other on subsequent targeting of the protein to the chloroplasts. Theldcgene fromHafnia alvei was therefore (a) placed under the control of the 1 promoter of the bidirectional Tr promoter fromAgrobacterium tumefaciens Ti- plasmid, and (b) cloned behind therbcS promoter from potato fused to the coding region of therbcS transit peptide. Bothldc constructs, introduced intoNicotiana tabacum with the aid ofA. tumefaciens, were integrated into the plant genome and transcribed as shown by Southern and northern hybridization. However, LDC activity was only detectable in plants expressing mRNA under the control of therbcS promoter directing the LDC fusion protein into chloroplasts with the aid of the transit peptide domain. In plants expressing the processed bacterial enzyme cadaverine levels increased from nearly zero to 0.3–1% of dry mass. 相似文献

ABamHI family of highly repeated DNA sequences of theNicotiana tabacum nuclear genome, denoted as a HRS60-family, was recently isolated. It comprises about 2% of the tobacco nuclear genome. Monomeric
units are 182–184 bp long. Members of the HRS60-family isolated till now are closely related. DNA-DNA hybridization experiments
with DNA of the two tobacco progenitors,N. tomentosiformis andN. sylvestris, revealed that the HRS60-family was present in many copies inN. sylvestris, the amount being about 1.7 times that inN. tabacum. InN. tomentosiformis as well as in some other species of the genusNicotiana, the HRS60-family is present in a small amount. Sequences related to the HRS60-family were revealed using DNA-DNA hybridization
at low stringency. With respect to quantity, the HRS60-family could be considered as a species-specific DNA repeat which may
be a useful genetic marker in genetic manipulations withN. tabacum. 相似文献

Cysteine serves as a precursor for the synthesis of various sulfur-containing metabolites, and the cysteine synthase (CS)
gene plays a central role in the sulfur cycle in nature. In the present study, rcs1, a cytosolic CS gene of rice, was introduced into the genome of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). The tolerance of wild-type tobacco plants as well as of the resulting transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing the rcs1 gene to toxic levels of ozone (O3, 0.15 μ mol−1) was measured after various lengths of exposure. Leaf lesions in plants exposed for 2 weeks to O3 were more prevalent in the leaves of the wild-type plants than in those of the transgenic tobacco plants. Transgenic tobacco
plants showed a higher growth rate and a higher chlorophyll content than the wild-type plants. Cysteine synthase activity
and cysteine and glutathione contents were higher in transgenic plants than in wild-type plants irrespective of the length
of the O3 treatment. Our results indicate that the CS gene plays a role in the protection of the plant against toxic O3 gas, probably through the mechanism of an over-accumulation of such sulfur-rich antioxidants as cysteine and glutathione. 相似文献

Summary A comparison of the soluble and cell-wall-bound isoperoxidases of normal auxin-requiring and auxin-independent (habituated)
tobacco callus revealed that normal tissues contained a higher level of isoperoxidases. There were also qualitative differences
in these isoperoxidases. Partially purified soluble and ionically bound isoperoxidases of normal callus likewise exhibited
higher auxin-oxidase activities. Normal tissues also were found to contain higher levels of auxin-oxidase inhibitors (auxin
protectors). Overall, however, the data indicate that there is a higher rate of auxin destruction in normal tobacco callus
than in habituated tissue. This presumably leads to insufficient endogenous auxin for growth.

A panel of aluminum-tolerant (AlRes) mutants was isolated by protoplast-based T-DNA activation tagging in the tobacco cultivar SR1. The mutants fell into two phenotypic classes: a minority of the mutants were fertile and developed similarly to the wild type (type I), the majority was male-sterile and grew as semi-dwarfs (type II). These traits, along with the aluminum tolerance, were inherited in a monogenic dominant manner. Both types of mutants were characterized by excessive bundling of actin microfilaments and by a strongly increased abundance of actin, a phenotype that could be partially phenocopied in the wild type by treatment with aluminum chloride. The actin bundles could be dissociated into finer strands by addition of exogenous auxin in both types of mutants. However, actin microfilaments and leaf expansion were sensitive to blockers of actin assembly in the wild type and in the mutants of type I, whereas they were more tolerant in the mutants of type II. The mutants of type II displayed a hypertrophic development of vasculature, manifest in form of supernumerary leaf veins and extended xylem layers in stems and petioles. Whereas mutants of type I were characterized by a normal, but aluminum-tolerant polar auxin-transport, auxin-transport was strongly promoted in the mutants of type II. The phenotype of these mutants is discussed in terms of reduced endocytosis leading, concomitantly with aluminum tolerance, to changes in polar auxin transport. 相似文献

A gene encoding staphylokinase from Staphylococcus aureus was cloned into the plant transformation binary vector pCAMBIA1303. The presence of a CaMV::sak-gusA-mgfp gene in Agrobacterium was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction PCR. Tobacco seedlings were used as explants for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation with the pCAMBIA1303sak vector carrying the fusion gene construct CaMV::sak-gusA-mgfp and the expression of the fusion gene was identified in Nicotiana tabacum plants by β-glucuronidas assay.

Summary A chimeric gene under the control of the hsp70 promoter of Drosophila is heat regulated in roots, stems and leaves, but not in pollen of transgenic tobacco plants. For these and other parameters, it behaves similarly to plant heat-shock genes. 相似文献

Two inbred cultivars of Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco), Samsun and Xanthi, were transformed with the plasmid pBI 121 using Bin 19 in Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The plasmid carries the nptII gene conferring kanamycin resistance and the uidA gene encoding -glucuronidase (GUS). Progeny carrying the genes in the homozygous condition were identified and selfed over several generations. One line homozygous for the introduced genes and one untransformed control from each cultivar were then selected and crossed reciprocally to give four families per cultivar. Seeds from each family were grown in a replicated field trial and all plants scored for a range of morphological and agronomic characters. In addition, leaf samples were taken and GUS activity measured. In the Samsun material, which contained one copy of the introduced gene at a single locus and showed high levels of GUS expression, the transformed homozygote showed twice the level of GUS activity as the hemizygotes, wheareas in the Xanthi line, which had a lower level of GUS, the hemizygotes showed the same level of GUS activity as the transformed homozygote. The agronomic data showed differences between the families, but the source of such differences could not be ascribed unambiguously. The results are discussed in the light of related information on gene expression and field performance from other transgenic material. 相似文献

Constitutive promoters are the most common promoters used to drive the expression of various genes in monocots and dicots.
Therefore, it is of intense interest to ascertain their expression patterns in various plant species, organs and during their
ontogenic development. In this study, the activity of the CaMV 35S promoter in transgenic tobacco plants was assessed. In
contrast to other studies, performed rather on the primary transformants (T0 generation), here, individuals of T1 and T2 generations were used. The expression profiles of the CaMV 35S promoter were tracked within various plant organs and tissues
using the GFP marker. Special attention was given to floral tissues for which the original data regarding the CaMV 35S expression
were obtained. As expected, distinct developmental and organ/tissue specific expression patterns in a plant body were observed.
CaMV 35S activity was detected in most of the plant tissues and during different developmental stages. The GFP signal was
not visible in dry seeds only, but it became clearly apparent within 24–48 h after sowing onto the medium, what, among other
things, enables the discrimination of transgenic and non-transgenic seeds/seedlings. Afterwards, the most pronounced GFP fluorescence
intensity was usually visible in various vascular tissues of both, T1 and T2 plants, indicating the high promoter activity. A stable manifestation of the promoter was retained in the next T2 generation without any evident changes or losses of activity, showing the expression stability of the CaMV 35S. 相似文献

Anomalies in the ultrastructure of chloroplasts, from transgenic ipt tobacco, overproducing endogenous cytokinins (CKs) were studied. Detailed analyses of CKs and their metabolites showed that Pssu-ipt tobacco contained enhanced contents of CKs both in leaves and in isolated chloroplasts. The role of CKs in the formation of anomalous structures is suggested. Pssu-ipt chloroplasts frequently formed the distinct peripheral reticulum with a system of caverns that often involved mitochondria and/or peroxisomes. Large crystalloids, which were found in chloroplasts of Pssu-ipt, occupied up to 16% of chloroplast volume. We suggested that the crystalloids were formed by LHC II aggregates. This was supported by analysis of the fluorescence emission spectra at 77°K, chlorophyll a/b ratio, immunogold staining of the structures, and crystallographic unit size analysis. 相似文献
