高羊茅和黑麦草农杆菌介导转化体系的研究

利用C58C1农杆菌菌系（携带的表达载体上含GUS基因和nptII基因）感染4个草坪草品种追寻者、爱神特、腾跃和守门员成熟胚来源的愈伤组织,共培养后部分愈伤组织进行X-Gluc组织化学染色检测,其余愈伤组织在含G418 10-25 mg/L的MS改良培养上先后筛选抗性愈伤组织和分化抗性再生植株,对移栽成活的144棵抗性再生植株分别进行了ELISA检测、PCR检测和组织化学染色检测。愈伤组织阶段X-Gluc染色检测结果表明,4个草坪草品种GUS基因瞬间表达率8.6%～46.9%,爱神特愈伤组织对农杆菌侵染最为敏感,其次是腾跃和守门员,追寻者最不敏感;ELISA检测结果表明,45株呈现阳性,证明nptII基因已转入草坪草并已表达;PCR检测结果与ELISA检测结果一致,表明nptII基因确实已经整合到了草坪草基因组中,且没有发生沉默现象;转基因植株X-Gluc染色检测结果表明,GUS基因在43株中得到了稳定表达,在2株中发生了沉默现象。4个草坪草品种抗性再生植株分化率0～43.5%,转化率0～21.5 %。结果还表明,GUS基因瞬间表达率与稳定转化率在草坪草上很不一致,不能作为衡量基因型转化效果的指标。

Comparison of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of four barley cultivars using the GFP and GUS reporter genes

Experiments were conducted to produce transgenic barley plants following infection of immature embryos with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Transformed callus was obtained using hygromycin resistance as a selectable marker and either green fluorescent protein (GFP) or -glucuronidase (GUS) as a reporter. Significantly reduced plant transformation frequencies were obtained with the GFP gene compared to GUS. However, GFP proved to be an excellent reporter of early transformation events and was used to compare four barley cultivars for efficiency in two phases of transformation: the generation of stably transformed barley callus and the regeneration of plantlets from transformed callus. Transformed callus was generated at a high frequency (47–76%) in all four cultivars. Regeneration of transformed plantlets was also achieved for all four cultivars although the frequency was much higher for Golden Promise than for the other three genotypes, reiterating that genotype is an important determinant in the regenerative ability of barley. This study has demonstrated for the first time that Agrobacterium-mediated transformation can be used to transform the Australian cultivars Sloop and Chebec.Communicated by W. Harwood     

A novel rice C2H2-type zinc finger protein lacking DLN-box/EAR-motif plays a role in salt tolerance

A cDNA for the gene ZFP182, encoding a C2H2-type zinc finger protein, was cloned from rice by RT-PCR. ZFP182 codes an 18.2 kDa protein with two C2H2-type zinc finger motifs, one nuclear localization signal and one Leu-rich domain. The DLN-box/EAR-motif, which exists in most of plant C2H2-type zinc finger proteins, does not exist in ZFP182. The expression analysis showed that ZFP182 gene was constitutively expressed in leaves, culms, roots and spikes at the adult rice plants, and markedly induced in the seedlings by cold (4 degrees C), 150 mM NaCl and 0.1 mM ABA treatments. The approximate 1.4 kb promoter region of ZFP182 gene was fused into GUS reporter gene and transformed into tobacco. The histochemical analysis revealed that GUS expression could not be detected in transformed tobacco seedlings under normal conditions, but strongly observed in tobacco leaf discs and the vascular tissue of roots treated with NaCl or KCl. Expression of ZFP182 in transgenic tobacco and overexpression in rice increased plant tolerance to salt stress. These results demonstrated that ZFP182 might be involved in plant responses to salt stress.     

Post-transcriptional gene silencing in the root system of the actinorhizal tree Allocasuarina verticillata

In recent years, RNA interference has been exploited as a tool for investigating gene function in plants. We tested the potential of double-stranded RNA interference technology for silencing a transgene in the actinorhizal tree Allocasuarina verticillata. The approach was undertaken using stably transformed shoots expressing the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene under the control of the constitutive promoter 35S; the shoots were further transformed with the Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4RS containing hairpin RNA (hpRNA) directed toward the GUS gene, and driven by the 35S promoter. The silencing and control vectors contained the reporter gene of the green fluorescent protein (GFP), thus allowing a screening of GUS-silenced composite plantlets for autofluorescence. With this rapid procedure, histochemical data established that the reporter gene was strongly silenced in both fluorescent roots and actinorhizal nodules. Fluorometric data further established that the level of GUS silencing was usually greater than 90% in the hairy roots containing the hairpin GUS sequences. We found that the silencing process of the reporter gene did not spread to the aerial part of the composite A. verticillata plants. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed that GUS mRNAs were substantially reduced in roots and, thereby, confirmed the knock-down of the GUS transgene in the GFP(+) hairy roots. The approach described here will provide a versatile tool for the rapid assessment of symbiotically related host genes in actinorhizal plants of the Casuarinaceae family.     

以胆碱脱氢酶基因对小黑杨花粉植株的遗传转化

以小黑杨（Populus simoniixP．nigra）花粉植株叶片为外植体,用根癌农杆菌介导法将胆碱脱氢酶基因（betA）导入其中,将获得的4株卡那霉素抗性转基因株系进行PCR检测,结果均为阳性。用荧光定量PCR对转基因株系的betA基因转录结果检测表明,4个转基因株系均已表达外源基因,但表达量有差异。对获得的4株转基因株系及对照进行NaCl胁迫处理,当NaCl浓度为0．55％时,非转基因小黑杨花粉植株生根率为0,转基因株系生根率为80％～100％;在NaCl为0．70％～0.80％时,则转基因株系生根率也为0。4个转基因株系的甜菜碱含量显著高于未转基因对照,说明抛融基因的导入提高了转基因株系的耐盐性。

Stable genetic transformation of white pine (Pinus strobus L.) after cocultivation of embryogenic tissues with Agrobacterium tumefaciens

A genetic transformation procedure for white pine has been developed after cocultivation of embryogenic tissues with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This efficient transformation procedure led to an average of four independent transformed lines per gram of cocultivated embryogenic tissue and up to 50 transformed lines can be obtained in a routine experiment. Constructs bearing the uidA gene or the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene were introduced and -glucuronidase (GUS) activity was followed over time. The expression of the uidA gene was lowest with a 35S-gus-intron construct and was 20-fold higher with a 35S-35S-AMVgus::nptII construct. The addition of scaffold attachment region (SAR) sequences surrounding the gus::nptII fusion did not significantly enhance the GUS activity. Transformed mature somatic embryos have been germinated and plantlets are presently being acclimatized.     

Transformation of Pea Lectin Gene and Parasponia Haemoglobin Gene into Rice and Their Expressions

Lectin and leghemoglobin in legumes play the important roles, respectively, in recognition of host plants to their rhizobial bacteria, and lowering the oxygen partial pressure around bacteroids and protecting nitrogenase from oxygen in symbiotic nitrogen-fixing nodules. In order to extend the host range of the rhizobial bacteria and to make them fix nitrogen in non-legumes, pea lectin gene ( pl ) and Parasponia hemoglobin gene ( phb ) have been constructed into a plant expression vector (pCBHUL) and the vector pCBHUL was introduced into rice calli from immature young embryos by particle bombardment. After the calli were regenerated into plantlets on the resistant-selecting media containing hygromycin, they were identified by PCR and Southern blot hybridization. It was indicated that the pl and phb genes were integrated into nucleic genome of the transformed rice plants. GUS activity and the product of the pl gene were determined by GUS staining, Western blot and in situ hybridization at translational level. Eighteen out of 40 plants resistant to hygromycin were positively identified by PCR analysis with the rate of 45%. The pl gene was expressed in 3 out of 18 plants with 17% and 7.5%in 40 plants. The results may provide a clue for exploring whether Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viceae could extend its host range and make the transgenic rice plants have the possibility of being symbiotic, or associative to nitrogen fixation.
