农杆菌介导的单子叶植物遗传转化研究进展

根癌农杆菌(Agrobacterium tumefaciens)Ti质粒转化系统的建立使植物遗传工程进入了一个飞速发展的时期。近年来,发根农杆菌(A.rhizogenes)Ri质粒毛根转化系统的研究十分迅速,展示了美好的前景,农杆菌介导的植物遗传转化已成为目前研究和应用最广泛的系统。但是,农杆菌的宿主范围一般仅限于双子叶植物和一些裸子植物,这就直接防碍着这种比较完善的基因转移技术在单子叶植物,尤其是禾谷类作物转化的应用。本文介绍了农杆菌介导的单子叶植物遗传转化的进展;对扩大农杆菌宿主范围、实现对单子叶植物转化的途径进行了探讨。 (一)农杆菌介导的单子叶植物转化的方法 目前建立的单子叶植物基因转移系统有:(1)农杆菌载体系统;(2)外源DNA

农杆菌介导法与基因枪轰击法结合在植物遗传转化上的应用

The plant cell defense and Agrobacterium tumefaciens

We previously identified changes in gene expression in Ageratum conyzoides plant cells inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens by using cDNA-AFLP. Here, we show that a subset of defense-related genes is differentially regulated by an Agrobacterium attachment-deficient mutant. The expression pattern triggered by this mutant is similar to that induced by inoculation with non-pathogenic bacteria. We also observed that the expression level of the defense genes was inversely correlated with the efficiency of transformation by Agrobacterium. We propose that the plant defense system has an important role in controlling infection and transformation and that Agrobacterium may dampen some plant defense responses.     

An efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation of Arabidopsis

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transient transformation has been a useful procedure for characterization of proteins and their functions in plants, including analysis of protein-protein interactions. Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation of Nicotiana benthamiana by leaf infiltration has been widely used due to its ease and high efficiency. However, in Arabidopsis this procedure has been challenging. Previous studies suggested that this difficulty was caused by plant immune responses triggered by perception of Agrobacterium. Here, we report a simple and robust method for Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation in Arabidopsis. AvrPto is an effector protein from the bacterial plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae that suppresses plant immunity by interfering with plant immune receptors. We used transgenic Arabidopsis plants that conditionally express AvrPto under the control of a dexamethasone (DEX)-inducible promoter. When the transgenic plants were pretreated with DEX prior to infection with Agrobacterium carrying a β-glucuronidase (GUS, uidA) gene with an artificial intron and driven by the CaMV 35S promoter, transient GUS expression was dramatically enhanced compared to that in mock-pretreated plants. This transient expression system was successfully applied to analysis of the subcellular localization of a cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) fusion and a protein-protein interaction in Arabidopsis. Our findings enable efficient use of Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation in Arabidopsis thaliana.     

The effect of temperature on Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer to plants

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is generally used to achieve genetic transformation of plants. The temperatures that have been used for infection with Agrobacterium in published transformation protocols differ widely and, to our knowledge, the effect of temperature on the efficiency of T-DNA transfer to plants has not been investigated systematically. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains harbouring a binary vector with the β-glucuronidase ( uidA ) gene and either a nopaline-, an octopine- or an agropine/ succinamopine-type helper plasmid were tested in two transformation systems at temperatures between 15 and 29°C. One system involved cocultivation of Phaseolus acutifolius callus whereas in the other system Nicotiana tabacum leaves were vacuum-infiltrated. In both situations, irrespective of the type of helper plasmid, the levels of transient uidA expression decreased notably when the temperature was raised above 22°C. Expression was low at 27°C and undetectable at 29°C. We anticipate that the efficiency of many published transformation protocols can be improved by reconsidering the factor of temperature.     

Plant proteins that interact with VirB2, the Agrobacterium tumefaciens pilin protein, mediate plant transformation

Agrobacterium tumefaciens uses a type IV secretion system (T4SS) to transfer T-DNA and virulence proteins to plants. The T4SS is composed of two major structural components: the T-pilus and a membrane-associated complex that is responsible for translocating substrates across both bacterial membranes. VirB2 protein is the major component of the T-pilus. We used the C-terminal-processed portion of VirB2 protein as a bait to screen an Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA library for proteins that interact with VirB2 in yeast. We identified three related plant proteins, VirB2-interacting protein (BTI) 1 (BTI1), BTI2, and BTI3 with unknown functions, and a membrane-associated GTPase, AtRAB8. The three BTI proteins also interacted with VirB2 in vitro. Preincubation of Agrobacterium with GST-BTI1 protein decreased the transformation efficiency of Arabidopsis suspension cells by Agrobacterium. Transgenic BTI and AtRAB8 antisense and RNA interference Arabidopsis plants are less susceptible to transformation by Agrobacterium than are wild-type plants. The level of BTI1 protein is transiently increased immediately after Agrobacterium infection. In addition, overexpression of BTI1 protein in transgenic Arabidopsis results in plants that are hypersusceptible to Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Confocal microscopic data indicate that GFP-BTI proteins preferentially localize to the periphery of root cells in transgenic Arabidopsis plants, suggesting that BTI proteins may contact the Agrobacterium T-pilus. We propose that the three BTI proteins and AtRAB8 are involved in the initial interaction of Agrobacterium with plant cells.

不同大豆基因型对农杆菌敏感性研究及优异种质筛选

大豆遗传转化一直是植物基因工程领域的难点之一,受体品种对农杆菌的敏感程度以及不同农杆菌菌株对靶组织的侵染能力是影响转化效率的主要因素。本研究利用GUS组织瞬时表达技术,比较了4个农杆菌菌株对靶组织子叶节的侵染能力差异,同时利用筛选到的侵染能力最强的菌株评估了33个不同受体基因型对农杆菌的敏感性。结果表明,超毒农杆菌菌株Ag10对靶组织的侵染能力最强,优于其他3个菌株;地方与野生大豆种质在农杆菌侵染后GUS的平均瞬时表达效率显著高于选育品种。此外,通过鉴定筛选出6个对农杆菌敏感性较高的受体材料,其对农杆菌的敏感性优于前人报道的敏感材料Peking,为大豆高效遗传转化体系的建立和新型转化受体的开发提供了参考。     

Agrobacterium-mediated gene delivery and the biology of hostrange limitations

Insertion of foreign DNA into Ti plasmid-derived vectors in Agrobacterium tumefaciens is currently the most frequently used strategy for generating transgenic plants in a wide variety of species. Limitations of the host range of Agrobacterium restrict its usefulness in many cases, particularly when dealing with monocotyledonous plants. The objective of this presentation is to briefly discuss the efficiency of the transformation process utilized by Agrobacterium tumefaciens , potential barriers to efficient transformation by Agrobacterium that result in limitation of its useful host range, and how an understanding of the successful Agrobacterium /plant cell interaction might lead to advances in a variety of DNA delivery methodologies.
