Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of Guignardia citricarpa: An efficient tool to gene transfer and random mutagenesis

Guignardia citricarpa is the causal agent of Citrus Black Spot (CBS), an important disease in Citriculture. Due to the expressive value of this activity worldwide, especially in Brazil, understanding more about the functioning of this fungus is of utmost relevance, making possible the elucidation of its infection mechanisms, and providing tools to control CBS. This work describes for the first time an efficient and successful methodology for genetic transformation of G. citricarpa mycelia, which generated transformants expressing the gene encoding for the gfp (green fluorescent protein) and also their interaction with citrus plant. Mycelia of G. citricarpa were transformed via Agrobacterium tumefaciens, which carried the plasmid pFAT-gfp, contains the genes for hygromycin resistance (hph) as well as gfp. The optimization of the agrotransformation protocol was performed testing different conditions (type of membrane; inductor agent concentration [acetosyringone – AS] and cocultivation time). Results demonstrated that the best condition occurred with the utilization of cellulose's ester membrane; 200 μM of AS and 96 h as cocultivation time. High mitotic stability (82 %) was displayed by transformants using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique to confirm the hph gene insertion. In addition, the presence of gfp was observed inside mycelia by epifluorescence optical microscopy. This technique easy visualization of the behaviour of the pathogen interacting with the plant for the first time, allowing future studies on the pathogenesis of this fungus. The establishment of a transformation method for G. citricarpa opens a range of possibilities and facilitates the study of insertional mutagenesis and genetic knockouts, in order to identify the most important genes involved in the pathogenesis mechanisms and plant–pathogen interaction.     

柑桔基因转化新方法的研究

尽管应用基因转化进行果树品种改良已日益引起重视,但是在受体的应用和转化方法上还存在着诸多困难。一方面,大多数果树尚不能从细胞或原生质体再生成完整植株,即使少数已可以再生的果树树种,也并非众多品种都能再生成功,而是存在着明显的基因型差异性。同时,还有再生植株童期过长的问题。另一方面,目前在植物基因转化中常用的两种方法即DNA直接吸入法和农杆菌介导的载体法,若以细胞或原生质体为受体,不仅存在再生困难的问题,而且再生过程费时长;若以叶盘、愈伤组织或珠心组织等为受体,既需要在转化后除去农杆菌,又需要排除转化与非转化组织的嵌合性。这些因素都大大地限制了基因转化在果树中的应用。因此,根据多年生果树的生长特点,建立一种适用的基因转化技术已成当务之急。本文采用农杆菌介导的附体腋芽转化-离体扩繁鉴定的方法,成功地将GUS基因转入沙田柚。结果证明这是一种简单、快速、高效的基因转化方法。     

Efficient production of transgenic citrus plants using isopentenyl transferase positive selection and removal of the marker gene by site-specific recombination

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.     

Green fluorescent protein as a screenable marker to increase the efficiency of generating transgenic woody fruit plants

 The green fluorescent protein (GFP) from Aequorea victoria has been introduced into three different citrus genotypes [Citrus aurantium L., C. aurantifolia (Christm.) Swing. and C. sinensis L. Osbeck×Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.] which are considered recalcitrant to transformation, mainly due to low transformation frequencies and to the regeneration of escape shoots at high frequencies from the Agrobacterium-inoculated explants. High-level GFP expression was detected in transgenic cells, tissues and plants. Using GFP as a vital marker has allowed us to localize the sites of transgene expression in specific cells, always occurring in callus tissue formed from the cambium of the cut ends of explants. Whereas green fluorescent shoots regenerated in all cases from this callus, most escapes regenerated directly from explants with almost no callus formation. Thus, development of callus from cambium is a prerequisite for citrus transformation. Furthermore, in vivo monitoring of GFP expression permitted a rapid and easy discrimination of transgenic and escape shoots. The selection of transgenic shoots could be easily favored by eliminating the escapes and/or by performing shoot-tip grafting of the transgenic buds soon after their origin. GFP-expressing shoots have also been observed in citrus explants co-cultivated with Agrobacterium but cultured in a medium without the selective agent kanamycin. This opens the possibility to rescue the transgenic sectors and to regenerate transgenic plants without using selectable marker genes conferring antibiotic or herbicide resistance, which is currently a topic of much discussion for the commercialization of transgenic plants.

Introduction of a citrus blight-associated gene into Carrizo citrange [<Emphasis Type="Italic">Citrus sinensis</Emphasis> (L.) Osbc. × <Emphasis Type="Italic">Poncirus trifoliata</Emphasis> (L.) Raf.] by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Agrobacterium</Emphasis>-mediated transformation

The protein p12 accumulates in leaves of trees with citrus blight (CB), a serious decline of unknown cause. The function of p12 is not known, but sequence analysis indicates it may be related to expansins. In studies to determine the function of p12, sense and antisense constructs were used to make transgenic Carrizo citrange using an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system. Homogeneous -glucuronidase⁺ (GUS⁺) sense and antisense transgenic shoots were regenerated using kanamycin as a selective agent. Twenty-five sense and 45 antisense transgenic shoots were in vivo grafted onto Carrizo citrange for further analyses. In addition, 20 sense and 18 antisense shoots were rooted. The homogeneous GUS⁺ plants contained either the p12 sense or antisense gene (without the intron associated with the gene in untransformed citrus) as shown by PCR and Southern blotting. Northern blots showed the expected RNA in the sense and antisense plants. A protein of identical size and immunoreactivity was observed in seven of nine sense plants but not in nine antisense or non-transgenic plants. At the current stage of growth, there are no visual phenotypic differences between the transgenic and non-transgenic plants. Selected plants will be budded with sweet orange for field evaluation for resistance or susceptibility to CB and general rootstock performance.Abbreviations AS Acetosyringone - CaMV 35S P Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter - CaMV 35S poly A Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S poly A terminator - CB Citrus blight - 2,4-D 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - FMV Figwort mosaic virus - GUS -Glucuronidase - GUS gene uidA - IBA Indole-3-butyric acid - MES 2-(N-Morpholino) ethane sulfonic acid - MSI Inoculation medium - MSP-10M Plasmolysis solution with 10% maltose - MSP-8S Plasmolysis solution with 8% sucrose - NAA -Naphthaleneacetic acid - NOS Nopaline synthase - NP Nopaline synthase promoter - NT Nopaline synthase terminator - NPTII Neomycin phosphotransferase II - p12 Blight-associated protein p12     

Efficient production of transgenic citrus plants expressing the coat protein gene of citrus tristeza virus

 The coat protein gene of citrus tristeza virus (CTV) has been introduced into Mexican lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swing.) plants by using an improved Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation system. Internodal stem segments from greenhouse-grown seedlings were co-cultivated with A. tumefaciens strain EHA 105 carrying the binary plasmid pBI 121/CTV-CP in a medium rich in auxins that provided the explant cells with the proper treatment to shift them to a competent state for transformation. The transformation frequency was enhanced, and this allowed us to recover 42 transgenic plants from 1200 explants. Regenerated shoots were identified as transformants by performing β-glucuronidase (GUS) assays and subsequently by PCR amplifications of the CTV-CP transgene. Southern analyses revealed that at least one copy of the CTV-CP gene was integrated in all PCR positive plants. Interestingly, 70% of them had linked T-DNAs arranged at one locus. Copy number of the CTV-CP gene varied from one to six among the transgenic lines. Half of them showed truncated T-DNAs in which the left border was lost. Expression of the CTV-CP transgene was demonstrated in 38 out of 42 plants by western analysis and DASI-ELISA. No correlation was found between coat protein expression and transgene copy number or integration pattern. Received: 7 April 1999 / Revision received: 17 June 1999 · Accepted: 24 June 1999
