Agrobacterium tumefaciens has the ability to transfer its T-DNA to plants, yeast, filamentous fungi, and human cells and integrate it into their genome. Conidia of the maize pathogen Helminthosporium turcicum were transformed to hygromycin B resistance by a Agrobacterium-tumefaciens-mediated transformation system using a binary plasmid vector containing the hygromycin B phosphotransferase (hph) and the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) genes controlled by the gpd promoter from Agaricus bisporus and the CaMV 35S terminator. Agrobacterium-tumefaciens-mediated transformation yielded stable transformants capable of growing on increased concentrations of hygromycin B. The presence of hph in the transformants was confirmed by PCR, and integration of the T-DNA at random sites in the genome was demonstrated by Southern blot analysis. Agrobacterium-tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Helminthosporium turcicum provides an opportunity for advancing studies of the molecular genetics of the fungus and of the molecular basis of its pathogenicity on maize. 相似文献

Rosellinia necatrix is a soil-borne root pathogen affecting a wide range of commercially important plant species. The mycelium of R. necatrix was transformed to hygromycin B resistance by an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation system using a binary plasmid vector containing the hygromycin B phosphotransferase (hph) gene controlled by the heterologous fungal Aspergillus nidulans P-gpd (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase) promoter and the trpC terminator. Co-cultivation of R. necatrix strain W1015 and A. tumefaciens strain AGL-1 at 25°C using the binary vector pAN26-CB1300, which contained the hygromycin B resistance cassette based on
pAN26 and pCAMBIA1300, resulted in high frequencies of transformation. The presence of the hph gene in the transformants was detected by PCR, and single-copy integration of the marker gene was demonstrated by Southern

Hygromycin B resistance was conferred to the mycelium of the white root rot fungus Rosellinia necatrix by transformation with the hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene (hph) of Escherichia coli under the control of the heterologous fungal Aspergillus nidulans P-gpd (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase) promoter and the trpC terminator. In all three transformants, the presence of hph and single-copy integrations of the marker gene were demonstrated by Southern analysis. This is the first report describing A. tumefaciens-mediated transformation of R. necatrix 相似文献

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) has been successfully applied to the violet root-rot fungus Helicobasidium mompa, which is the causal agent of violet root-rot disease. The A. tumefaciens strains carried a binary plasmid vector containing the hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene (hph) controlled by the heterologous fungal Agaricus bisporus P-gpd (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) promoter and the trpC terminator. The transformation system was optimized using defined cocultivation conditions. When H. mompa strain V17 was cocultivated with A. tumefaciens strain AGL-1 using 5% agar, we obtained more hygromycin-resistant colonies than with strains EHA105 or MAFF301222 using 2%
agar. In addition, our results suggest that the activated carbon is necessary in ATMT to reduce background growth of H. mompa. The presence of the hph gene in transformants was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and single-copy integration of the marker gene was
demonstrated by Southern blot analysis. Thus, the ATMT system can be considered a promising tool for insertional mutagenesis
studies of H. mompa. 相似文献

Caspase-resistant VirD2 protein provides enhanced gene delivery and expression in plants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Agrobacterium tumefaciens VirD2 protein is one of the key elements of Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation, a process of transfer of T-DNA sequence from the Agrobacterium tumour inducing plasmid into the nucleus of infected plant cells and its integration into the host genome. The VirD2 protein
has been shown to be a substrate for a plant caspase-like protease activity (PCLP) in tobacco. We demonstrate here that mutagenesis
of the VirD2 protein to prevent cleavage by PCLP increases the efficiency of reporter gene transfer and expression. These
results indicate that PCLP cleavage of the Agrobacterium VirD2 protein acts to limit the effectiveness of T-DNA transfer and is a novel resistance mechanism that plants utilise to
combat Agrobacterium infection.

Agrobacterium-mediated T-DNA transfer has been proven to be an efficient strategy for insertional mutagenesis and elucidation of gene function
in filamentous fungi. The implementation of large-scale T-DNA insertional mutagenesis requires the development of high-efficient
transformation and high-throughput screening procedures. Here, using green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a vital marker, a
highly efficient T-DNA-based mutagenesis and screening system was developed in Trichoderma reesei. The uridine auxotrophic T. reesei M23 as the host was transformed with A. tumefaciens EH105 strain harboring a binary vector pC-OEP, which beared the pyrG gene for primary selection on minimal medium without uridine and the egfp gene for fluorescence-based rapid screening of the mitotically stable transformants. The efficiency of transformation was
up to 10–20 transformants per 105 target conidia. Microscopic examination revealed strong GFP expression and fluorescence emission in conidia, growing hyphae
and mycelia. An effective and convenient screening procedure using 96-well plates and multilabel counter for fluorescence
intensity counting was developed to rapidly identify the T-DNA tagged T. reesei mutants. Furthermore, the presence of T-DNA integration at random sites in the genome was confirmed by Southern blot analysis.
This report of the T-DNA-based mutagenesis and rapid screening system using GFP as a vital reporter provides a promising strategy
to speeding up the genome-scale T-DNA insertional mutagenesis and functional genomics analysis of this cellulolytic fungus

An improved DNA-mediated transformation system for nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora based on hygromycin B resistance was developed. The transformation frequency varied between 34 and 175 transformants per μg linearized DNA and 93% of the transformants were stable for drug resistance when tested 100 randomly selected transformants. More than 2000 transformants were obtained by transformation of the fungus with pBChygro in the presence of HindIII and among them, one, YMF1.00110, which lost its ability of forming predacious structure, was isolated. Southern analysis showed that the plasmid DNA had integrated into the genome of all tested transformants (including YMF 1.00110) except one. The transformant tagged with hph gene could be re-isolated and quantified from dung samples based on the resistance of hygromycin B. All the results suggested that the method of restriction enzyme mediated integration (REMI) should facilitate not only the insertional mutagenesis for tagging and analysis genes of interest but also the ecological investigation of tagged fungi in a given environment. 相似文献

Filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei QM9414 was successfully transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens AGL-1 for random integration of transforming DNA (T-DNA). Co-cultivation of T. reesei conidia or protoplasts with A. tumefaciens in the presence of acetosyringone resulted in the formation of hygromycin B-resistant fungal colonies with high transformation
frequency. Nine randomly selected resistant clones were proved to be stable through mitotic cell division. The integration
of the hph gene into T. reesei genome was determined by PCR and dot blot analysis. Transgenic T. reesei strains were analyzed using TAIL-PCR for their T-DNA contents. The results showed that T-DNA inserts occurred evidently by
fusing DNA at T-DNA borders via random recombination, which suggests that Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is a potentially powerful tool towards tagged mutagenesis and gene transfer technology for T. reesei. 相似文献

A conditional negative selection marker is essential for high throughput insertional mutagenesis with any two-element transposon
tagging system. Thetms2 gene encodes indoleacetic acid hydrolase (IAAH) which converts naphthaleneacetamide (NAM) to the potent auxin naphthaleneacetic
acid, a phytotoxic derivative. This gene, under the control of the manopine synthase gene 2 promoter fromAgrobacterium tumefaciens and exogenously applied NAM, have been used effectively as a negative selector inAc/Ds insertional mutagenesis ofArabidopsis thaliana (Sundaresan et al., 1995). In this study we show thattms2 can also be used as a negative selector in rice. T1 transgenic seedlings expressing thistms2 gene under the control of themas2’ promoter showed significant reduction in shoot and root growth in the presence of 5–10 μM NAM under specified growth conditions
compared to plants not containing this gene. 相似文献

An endolichenic fungus Xylaria grammica produces grammicin, a potent nematicidal pyrone derivative that can serve as a new control option for root-knot nematodes. We optimized an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) protocol for X. grammica to support genetic studies. Transformants were successfully generated after co-cultivation of homogenized young mycelia of X. grammica with A. tumefaciens strain AGL-1 carrying a binary vector that contains the bacterial hygromycin B phosphotransferase (hph) gene and the eGFP gene in T-DNA. The resulting transformants were mitotically stable, and PCR analysis showed the integratin of both genes in the genome of transformants. Expression of eGFP was confirmed via fluorescence microscopy. Southern analysis showed that 131 (78.9%) out of 166 transformants contained a single T-DNA insertion. Crucial factors for producing predominantly single T-DNA transformants include 48 h of co-cultivation, pre-treatment of A. tumefaciens cells with acetosyringone before co-cultivation, and using freshly prepared mycelia. The established ATMT protocol offers an efficient tool for random insertional mutagenesis and gene transfer in studying the biology and ecology of X. grammica. EL000614相似文献

A synthetic scorpion Hector Insect Toxin (AaHIT) gene, under the control of a CaMV35S promoter, was cloned into cotton via Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. Southern blot analyses indicated that integration of the transgene varied from one to more than
three estimated copies per genome; seven homozygous transgenic lines with one copy of the T-DNA insert were then selected
by PCR and Southern blot analysis. AaHIT expression was from 0.02 to 0.43% of total soluble protein determined by western
blot. These homozygous transgenic lines killed larvae of cotton bollworm (Heliothis armigera) by 44–98%. The AaHIT gene could used therefore an alternative to Bt toxin and proteinase inhibitor genes for producing transgenic cotton crops
with effective control of bollworm. 相似文献

AsAgrobacterium tumefaciens, which has long been used to transform plants, is known to transfer T-DNA to budding yeast,Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a variety of fungi were subjected to theA. tumefaciens-mediated transformation to improve their transformation frequency and feasibility. TheA. tumefaciens-mediated transformation of chestnut blight fungus,Cryphonectria parasitica, is performed in this study as the first example of transformation of a hardwood fungal pathogen. The transfer of the binary
vector pBIN9-Hg, containing the bacterial hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene under the control of theAspergillus nidulans trpC promoter and terminator, as a selectable marker, led to the selection of more than 1,000 stable, hygromycin B-resistant transformants
per 1×106 conidia ofC. parasitica. The putative transformants appeared to be mitotically stable. The transformation efficiency appears to depend on the bacterial
strain, age of the bacteria cell culture and ratio of fungal spores to bacterial cells. PCR and Southern blot analysis indicated
that the marker gene was inserted at different chromosomal sites. Moreover, three transformants out of ten showed more than
two hybridizing bands, suggesting more than two copies of the inserted marker gene are not uncommon. 相似文献

Among the major grain legume crops, Vicia faba belongs to those where the production of transgenic plants has not yet convincingly been reported. We have produced stably transformed lines of faba bean with an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer system. Stem segments from aseptically germinated seedlings were inoculated with A. tumefaciens strains EHA101 or EHA105, carrying binary vectors conferring (1) uidA, (2) a mutant lysC gene, coding for a bacterial aspartate kinase insensitive to feedback control by threonine, and (3) the coding sequence for a methionine-rich sunflower 2S-albumin, each in combination with nptII as selectable marker. Kanamycin-resistant calluses were obtained on callus initiation medium at a frequency of 10–30%. Shoot regeneration was achieved on thidiazuron containing medium in a second culture step. A subsequent transfer of shoots to BA-containing medium was necessary for stem elongation and leaf development. Shoots were rooted or grafted onto young seedlings in vitro and mature plants were recovered. Molecular analysis confirmed the integration of the transgenes into the plant genome. Inheritance and expression of the foreign genes was demonstrated by Southern blot, PCR, western analysis and enzyme activity assays. Although at present the system is time-consuming and of relatively low efficiency, it represents a feasible approach for the production of genetically engineered faba beans. 相似文献

Transgenic white poplar (Populus alba L.) plants expressing a novel Arabidopsis thaliana cysteine proteinase inhibitor (Atcys) gene have been produced using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer. Internodal stem segments of cv. Villafranca were co-cultivated with the EHA105 pBI-Atcys A. tumefaciens strain. Sixteen putative transgenic plant lines were regenerated from different calli with a transformation efficiency of 11%. The integration and expression of the cysteine proteinase inhibitor (Atcys) gene into the plant genome was confirmed by Southern and northern blot analyses. Papain inhibitory activity was detected in poplar transgenic tissues by means of a specific in vitro assay. Such activity was sufficient to inhibit most of the digestive proteinase activity of chrysomelid beetle (Chrysomela populi L.) and confer resistance to C. populi larvae on selected transgenic plants. A close correspondence between the inhibition of papain and resistance to poplar leaf beetle was observed in all tested transgenic lines. Our results indicate that Atcys could be succesfully employed in breeding programmes aimed at the selection of new poplar genotypes resistant to major insect pests. 相似文献

The ability to integrate biochemical, cell biological, and genetic approaches makes Chlamydomonas reinhardtii the premier model organism for studies of the eukaryotic flagellum and its associated molecular motors. Hundreds of motility mutations have been identified in Chlamydomonas, including many that affect dyneins and kinesins. These mutations have yielded much information on the structure and function of the motors as well as the roles of individual subunits within the motors. The development of insertional mutagenesis has opened the door to powerful new approaches for genetic analysis in Chlamydomonas. Insertional mutants are created by transforming cells with DNA-containing selectable markers. The DNA is randomly integrated throughout the genome and usually deletes part of the chromosome at the site of insertion, thereby creating mutations that are marked by the integrated DNA. These mutations can be used for forward genetic approaches where one characterizes a mutant phenotype and then clones the relevant gene using the integrated DNA as a tag. The insertional mutants also may be used in a reverse genetic approach in which mutants lacking a gene of interest are identified by DNA hybridization. We describe methods to generate and characterize insertional mutants, using mutations that affect the outer dynein arm as examples. 相似文献

Use of a simple semiquantitative method for appraisal of green fluorescent protein gene expression in transgenic tobacco plants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have applied a simple method for evaluation of gfp gene expression in plants using a CCD camera and computerized processing of images. Transgenic tobacco plants were obtained by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transfer of plasmid T-DNA bearing a m-gfp5-ER sequence governed by the 35S promoter together with the nptII selectable marker gene. Presence of the gfp gene in plants was confirmed by a polymerase chain reaction method. Mean brightness values measured using image analysis software showed differences between transgenic and control plants and suggest the possibility of rapid selection of transgenic individuals among regenerants and their progenies. 相似文献

Transgenic zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica) plants obtained by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) is an important turfgrass that spreads by stolons and rhizomes. By exploring the potential of direct shoot formation from stolons, we developed a straightforward and efficient transformation protocol without callus induction and propagation. Sterilized stolon nodes were infected and co-cultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring pCAMBIA vectors. Hygromycin phosphotransferase gene (hph) was used as the selectable marker and hygromycin was used as the selection agent. Both green and albino shoots were directly regenerated from the infected stolon nodes 4–5 weeks after hygromycin selection. Greenhouse-grown plants were obtained 10–12 weeks after Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Based on the number of transgenic plants obtained and the number of stolon nodes infected, a transformation frequency of 6.8% was achieved. Stable integration of the transgenes in the plant genome was demonstrated by PCR and Southern blot hybridization analyses. Expression of the transgenes was confirmed by RT-PCR analysis and GUS staining. The new transformation system opens up new opportunities for the functional characterization of genes and promoters and the development of novel germplasm in zoysiagrass. 相似文献

UsingAgrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer, 14 T0Brassica napus plants carrying one of three chimeric 2S albumin seed protein genes were obtained after co-transformation with theneo gene. Plants were made homozygous using either cell haploid culture or, for single-copy plants, traditional crossing methods. Sixty-five percent of kanamycin-resistant plants contained at least one copy of the seed protein gene, and multiple copies were usually at a single locus. In the majority of cases, at least one copy of theneo gene was linked to an introduced 2S albumin gene, demonstrating that co-transformation is not a reliable way to obtain lines without the marker gene linked to the gene of interest. In 3 T0 plants sequences derived from beyond the left border of the vector were integrated in the plant genome, in two cases partially rearranged, confirming that T-DNA insertion is not always precise. Procedures for efficiently determining this are described. This work highlights the extra steps needed to prepare transgenic lines for field studies and potential further breeding. 相似文献
