农杆菌T—DNA介导的植物转基因的分子机制

前言 根瘤农杆菌(Agrobacterium tumefaciens)与发根农根菌(A.rhizogenes)同属根瘤菌科,是革兰氏阴性植物病原菌。前者感染植物引起冠瘿病(Crop gall tumour),冠瘿病用含有抗生素的培养基培养与除菌。可无限增殖;后者感染植物诱发出许多不定根,把不定根培养在上述培养基上也可迅速生长,多次分枝成毛状称毛状根(hairy root)。农杆菌感染机理很复杂。其感染作用起始于受伤的植物细胞分泌的大量化学物质时期。受伤植物细胞分泌的酚分子诱导农杆菌怀有的Ti质粒或Ri质粒上的基因活化,尔后农杆菌紧附植物细胞并把Ti质粒或Ri质粒上一部分DNA(称作T—DNA,tranfer DNA)转移到植物染色体上。T.DNA共价整合后编译合成的新的低分量的代谢物,称为冠瘿碱。

Peroxidase as a developmental marker in plant tissue culture.

Peroxidase was studied as a developmental marker in pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) callus lines and horse-radish (Armoracia lapathifolia Gilib) transformants. Embryogenic callus lines DE grown on MS medium with 2.4-D and NA-3 grown on medium with NAA and adenine sulfate showed about a 20 times higher enzyme activity than the habituated non-embryogenic line Z5b/T grown on medium without hormones. A rise in peroxidase activity indicated that somatic embryogenesis was triggered in a few habituated tissue cultures. Separated globular embryoids had a manifold lower enzyme activity than the callus from which they originated. SDS-electrophoresis showed distinct polypeptide patterns between the horse-radish leaves and crown galls, but the tumor characteristic protein bands failed to be identified. In horse-radish crown galls and short bushy plants regenerated from hairy roots an enhanced peroxidase activity was registered. Due to its high peroxidase level and abundant biomass production horse-radish transformants should facilitate enzyme production.     

Transformation through agroinfection on decapitated shoot apex of field-growing <Emphasis Type="Italic">Phyllanthus amarus</Emphasis>

A simple and easy transformation strategy was accomplished on field growing plants of Phyllanthus amarus, an anti-hepatitis B drug plant. Infection of Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains A₄M70GUS and ATCC 15834 on decapitated shoots of field growing P. amarus induced hairy roots and crown gall, respectively. Infection with A₄M70GUS yielded a mean of 23.2 roots from 40% plants in 40-day period. The crown gall induced on 30% plants after infection with ATCC 15834 grew to 5–10 mm in diameter. The roots and crown galls established in vitro on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium grew well. The hairy roots yielded fivefold (6.91 g) biomass in half-strength MS liquid medium to that of the adventitious roots derived from internode explants in MS medium with 8.0 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid (1.39 g). Histochemical assay and PCR analysis using the primers of uidA coding region confirmed the hairy roots induced by A₄M70GUS. The crown galls induced by ATCC 15834 were confirmed by PCR analysis using rolB gene primers. The protocol enables an easy and early accomplishment of hairy roots.

GROWTH IN VITRO OF TISSUES ISOLATED FROM NORMAL STEMS AND INSECT GALLS

Pelet , F., A. C. Hildebrandt , A. J. Riker, and F. Skoog . (U. Wisconsin, Madison.) Growth in vitro of tissues isolated from normal stems and insect galls . Amer. Jour. Bot. 47(3) : 186—195. Illus. 1960.–In a preliminary analysis of the nature of gall formation induced by insects, a comparative study has been made of the in vitro growth and nutrition of plant tissues derived from insect galls and from normal plants. Grape, elm, poplar, and willow tissues were grown on a standard medium, modified White's nutrient medium, with coconut milk and/or various growth factors added. Satisfactory growth was obtained over a temperature range from 16° to 36°C. but was generally optimal at 28°—32°C. The optimum pH was generally 4.0—4.5, but a pH of 6.0 or 7.0 gave better growth when the medium contained 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Detailed nutritional studies were limited to grape tissue. Excised stems and excised galls induced by Phylloxera vastatrix Planch, were grown on the basal medium with vitamins and supplemented with naphthaleneacetic acid, indoleacetic acid, kinetin, casein hydrolysate, yeast extract, adenine and a few amino acids added in various combinations. Growth (fresh weight) was measured after a 6-week growth period. When these substances were added singly the optimal concentrations and the quality of growth of stem explants were as follows: with adenine (40 mg./l.) or kinetin (1 mg./l.), growth poor; with NAA (1 mg./l.) or IAA (2 mg./l.), growth fair; and with the only concentration of a powdered casein hydrolysate (3 g./l.), growth good. Gall explants responded more readily to kinetin or adenine but did not form callus in the presence of casein hydrolysate alone. Stem tissues formed both roots and callus, whereas gall tissues formed only callus. The same substances were tested in various combinations. NAA and kinetin provided for moderate, continuous growth, and excellent growth if casein hydrolysate and adenine also were added to the medium. The NAA requirements were markedly reduced in the grape tissues which had been subcultured for 1 or 4 years on coconut milk medium. Friable tissue types were inhibited by the adenine and casein hydrolysate combinations. They grew through 1 passage only on basal medium and then died if not supplied with NAA and kinetin. Firm tissues responded favorably, although irregularly, to casein hydrolysate and adenine. It was concluded that although nutrient requirements varied with tissues derived from insect galls and from normal plants, they also varied with the time of cultivation in vitro. The induction of galls by Phylloxera was not a permanent change in growth factor requirements comparable to that conferred by the crown gall bacteria. In attempts to grow the insect in sterile culture in vitro 5 successive generations of phylloxera were reared on callus tissue.     

Methylglyoxal destroys <Emphasis Type="Italic">Agrobacterium tumefaciens</Emphasis> crown gall tumours in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Nicotiana tabacum</Emphasis> without any adverse effect on the host plant

Methylglyoxal (MG) is a highly reactive α-oxoaldehyde, demonstrating anticancer effect on plant neoplastic tumours. In in vivo studies it was observed that MG destroyed crown gall tumours in Nicotiana tabacum produced by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, without any adverse effect on the host. The efficacy of MG in comparison to other anticancer drugs viz. cisplatin and ellagic acid in the treatment of crown gall was investigated. A slight degeneration of galls was noted in plants treated with cisplatin and ellagic acid but the plants died subsequently. With MG however, crown galls were completely cured and the plants completed their usual life cycle by flowering and producing seeds. MG inhibited the respiration of crown gall calluses suggesting that energy depletion resulted in tumour destruction.     

Selective media for three biovars of Agrobacterium

Three selective media for the isolation of the three known biovars of Agrobacterium are described. Selectivity was based on carbon and nitrogen sources; L(—)-arabitol for biovar 1, erythritol for biovar 2 and a combination of tartrate and D-glutamate for biovar 3. The new media were compared with existing selective media. Recovery of agrobacteria from soil was very efficient and discrimination between the three biovars was satisfactory except for tartrate-utilising biovar 1 isolates which grew on the biovar 3 medium. Some strains of Pseudomonas sp. isolated from crown galls on vine could utilise octopine as a source of carbon and nitrogen.
