The harvesting and storing of alfalfa is a routine practice in the agricultural industry worldwide. To investigate gene expression
in harvested alfalfa, cDNA from non-harvested and harvested plants in the field was subjected to subtractive hybridization
to identify, in particular, those genes that are induced by the harvesting treatment. One cDNA clone, named hi11, was isolated and analysed. The full length cDNA of the hi11 gene was cloned by RACE amplification. The hi11 gene, which has high homology to a putative protein of unknown function in Arabidopsis, was induced in alfalfa following
harvesting, a 38°C heat shock and a wounding treatment. Northern blot analysis confirmed that the expression patterns of hi11 in alfalfa in response to harvesting, heat shock, and wounding. In addition, genomic walking was performed to isolate the
5′ flanking region of the hi11 gene. The promoter of the hi11 gene was fused to the GUS reporter gene and transferred to Medicago truncatula and tobacco. In all transgenic plants of M. truncatula and tobacco, GUS gene expression was observed in harvested tissue, especially in the transgenic tobacco plants, but not in
the non-harvested control tissue. 相似文献

A major limitation on the expression of some foreign proteins in transgenic plants is the toxic effect of such proteins on
the host plant resulting in inhibition of normal growth and development. A solution to this problem is to control the expression
of genes for such proteins by means of inducible promoters, as is frequently done in microbial systems. A cDNA clone was obtained
from subtractive hybridization of non-harvested and harvested alfalfa leaf tissue, named hi12. The hi12 cDNA was identified as part of the S-adenosyl-l-methionine: trans-caffeoyl-CoA3-O-methyltransferase gene of alfalfa, a gene encoding an essential key enzyme in lignin synthesis. The hi12 gene was strongly induced by harvesting and wounding but not by heat shock. The promoter of the hi12 gene, isolated by genomic walking, contained several stress response cis-elements. Transgenic plants of tobacco and Medicago truncatula containing the GUS gene driven by the promoter showed GUS expression following harvesting, demonstrating the activity of
these regulatory regions in other plant species. 相似文献

A novel 407 bp nucleotide sequence NTPp13 was isolated from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) by PCR, its structure and function were characterized. The NTPp13 sequence was highly homologous with the pollen-specific expression promoter Zm13 from maize (Zea mays L.) and contained some key motifs which controlled pollen-specific expression. The NTPp13 was fused to the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene and transferred into tobacco. Analysis of the transgenic plants revealed
that this putative promoter fragment was sufficient to direct GUS expression specifically in the anther, exactly in the pollen
and pollen tube, and that GUS activity reached the maximum at the stage of pollen grain began to separate. Further study showed
that the expression of NTPp13 sequence at pollen was stable at the range of temperature measured. These data suggested that the NTPp13 sequence was likely the essential element of promoter region of an unknown pollen-specific gene from tobacco. 相似文献

SBgLR (Solanum tuberosum genomic lysine-rich) gene was isolated from a potato genomic library using SB401 (S.
berthaultii 401) cDNA as probe. RT-PCR analysis of SBgLR gene expression profile and microscopic analysis of green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression in tobacco plants transformed
with SBgLR promoter-GFP reporters indicate that SBgLR is a pollen-specific gene. A series of 5′deletions of SBgLR promoter were fused to the β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene and stably introduced into tobacco plants. Histochemical and quantitative assays of GUS expression in transgenic
plants allowed us to localize an enhancer of SBgLR promoter to the region −345 to −269 relative to the translation start site. This 76 bp (−345 to −269) fragment enhanced GUS
expression in leaves, stems and roots when fused to −90/+6 CaMV 35S minimal promoter. Deletion analysis showed that a cis-element, which can repress gene expression in root hairs, was located in the region −345 to −311. Further study indicated
that the −269 to −9 region was sufficient to confer pollen-specific expression of GFP when fused to CaMV 35S enhancer.

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 °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. 相似文献

Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates plant adaptive responses to various environmental stresses. 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED) is the key enzyme of ABA biosynthesis in higher plants. A NCED gene, SgNCED1, was overexpressed in transgenic tobacco plants which resulted in 51–77% more accumulation of ABA in leaves. Transgenic tobacco
plants decreased stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and photosynthetic rate but induced activities of superoxide dismutase
(SOD), catalase (CAT), and ascorbate-peroxidase (APX). Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO) in leaves were also induced in the transgenic plants. Compared to the wild-type control, the transgenic
plants improved growth under 0.1 M mannitol-induced drought stress and 0.1 M NaCl-induced salinity stress. It is suggested
that the ABA-induced H2O2 and NO generation upregulates the stomatal closure and antioxidant enzymes, and therefore increases drought and salinity
tolerance in the transgenic plants. 相似文献

A 1681 bp PsPR10 promoter was isolated from Pinus strobus and a series of 5′-deletions were fused to the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene and introduced into tobacco. GUS activity in P796 (−796 to +69) construct transgenic plant roots was similar
with that of P1681 and higher than those of the P513 (−513 to +69) and P323 (−323 to +69) transgenic plants. Moreover, the
abiotic stresses of NaCl, PEG 6000 and mannitol, and salicylic acid (SA), abscisic acid (ABA) and jasmonic acid (JA) induced
higher GUS activity in the roots of P796 transgenic tobacco. This study provides a potential inducible root-specific promoter
for transgenic plants. 相似文献

Earlier, a pollen-specific Oryza sativa indica pollen allergen gene (OSIPA), coding for expansins/pollen allergens, was isolated from rice, and its promoter—upon expression in tobacco and Arabidopsis—was found active during the late stages of pollen development. In this investigation, to analyze the effects of different
putative regulatory motifs of OSIPA promoter, a series of 5′ deletions were fused to β-glucuronidase gene (GUS) which were stably introduced into rice and Arabidopsis. Histochemical GUS analysis of the transgenic plants revealed that a 1631 bp promoter fragment mediates maximum GUS expression
at different stages of anther/pollen development. Promoter deletions to −1272, −966, −617, and −199 bp did not change the
expression profile of the pollen specificity. However, the activity of promoter was reduced as the length of promoter decreased.
The region between −1567 and −199 bp was found adequate to confer pollen-specific expression in both rice and Arabidopsis systems. An approximate 4-fold increase in the GUS activity was observed in the pollen of rice when compared to that of Arabidopsis. As such, the OSIPA promoter seems promising for generation of stable male-sterile lines required for the production of hybrids in rice and other
crop plants. 相似文献

A critical step in the development of a reproducible Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation system for a recalcitrant species, such as pearl millet, is the establishment of optimal conditions
for efficient T-DNA delivery into target tissue from which plants can be regenerated. A multiple shoot regeneration system,
without any intervening callus phase, was developed and used as a tissue culture system for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Agrobacterium super virulent strain EHA105 harboring the binary vector pCAMBIA 1301 which contains a T-DNA incorporating the hygromycin
phosphotransferase (hpt II) and β-glucuronidase (GUS) genes was used to investigate and optimize T-DNA delivery into shoot apices of pearl millet. A
number of factors produced significant differences in T-DNA delivery; these included optical density, inoculation duration,
co-cultivation time, acetosyringone concentration in co-cultivation medium and vacuum infiltration assisted inoculation. The
highest transformation frequency of 5.79% was obtained when the shoot apex explants were infected for 30 min with Agrobacterium O.D.600 = 1.2 under a negative pressure of 0.5 × 105 Pa and co-cultivated for 3 days in medium containing 400 μM acetosyringone. Histochemical GUS assay and polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) analysis confirmed the presence of the GUS gene in putative transgenic plants, while stable integration of
the GUS gene into the plant genome was confirmed by Southern analysis. This is the first report showing reproducible, rapid
and efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of shoot apices and the subsequent regeneration of transgenic plants in pearl millet. The developed
protocol will facilitate the insertion of desirable genes of useful traits into pearl millet. 相似文献

Fusions of the promoter regions of the pea plasto-cyanin, pea ferredoxin: NADP+ reductase and tobacco rbcS genes to the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene have been introduced into tobacco via Agro-bacterium-mediated transformation, and epidermal peels of the lower leaf surface of tissue-cultured and greenhouse-grown plants examined histochemically for GUS activity. For each of the constructs, GUS was detected in epidermal cells as well as in stomatal guard cells. Epidermal peels from plants in tissue culture stained more readily than those from greenhouse-grown plants. Light and electron microscopy clearly demonstrated the presence of chloroplasts in epidermal cells of tobacco leaves. These results provide further evidence for the correlation between the presence of chloroplasts and the expression of nuclear genes for photosynthesis components. 相似文献

ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) represents a key regulatory step in starch synthesis. A 0.9 kb of 5′ flanking region
preceding Brittle2 gene, encoding the small subunit of maize endosperm AGPase, was cloned from maize genome and its expression pattern was studied
via the expression of β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene in transgenic tobacco. Analysis of GUS activities showed that the 0.9 kb
fragment flanking Brittle2 gene was sufficient for driving the seed-preferred expression of the reporter gene. The activity of the 0.9 kb 5′ flanking
fragment was compared with that of the tandem promoter region from a zein gene (zE19, encoding a maize 19 kDa zein protein). The results indicated that both promoters were seed-preferred in a dicotyledonous
system as tobacco and the activity of zE19 promoter was three to fourfold higher than that of the 0.9 kb fragment flanking Brittle2 gene in transgenic tobacco seeds. At the same time, zE19-driven GUS gene expressed earlier than Brittle2 promoter during seed development. Histochemical location of GUS activity indicated that both promoters showed high expression
in embryos, which is different from similar promoters tested in maize. 相似文献

A protocol for the production of transgenic plants was developed for Lotus tenuis via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of leaf segments. The explants were co-cultivated (for 3 days) with an A. tumefaciens strain harbouring either the binary vector pBi RD29A:oat arginine decarboxylase (ADC) or pBi RD29A:glucuronidase (GUS), which
carries the neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII) gene in the T-DNA region. Following co-cultivation, the explants were cultured in Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented
with naphthalenacetic acid (NAA) and benzyladenine (BA) and containing kanamycin (30 μg ml−1) and cefotaxime (400 μg ml−1) for 45 days. The explants were subcultured several times (at 2-week intervals) to maintain the selection pressure during
the entire period. About 40% of the explants inoculated with the pBiRD29:ADC strain produced eight to ten adventitious shoots
per responsive explant through a direct system of regeneration, whereas 69% of the explants inoculated with the pBi RD29A:GUS
strain produced 13–15 adventitious shoots per responsive explant. The selected transgenic lines were identified by PCR and
Southern blot analysis. Three ADC transgenic lines were obtained from 30 infected explants, whereas 29 GUS transgenic lines
were obtained from 160 explants, corresponding to a transformation efficiency of 10 and 18.1%, respectively. More than 90%
of the in vitro plantlets were successfully transferred to the soil. The increase in the activity of arginine decarboxylase
from stressed ADC- Lt19 lines was accompanied by a significant rise in the putrescine level. The GUS transgenic line driven by the RD29A promoter
showed strong signals of osmotic stress in the leaves and stem tissues. All of the transgenic plants obtained exhibited the
same phenotype as the untransformed controls under non-stress conditions, and the stability of the gene introduced into the
cloned materials was established. 相似文献

By screening a genomic library of maize, a 2.2 kb 5′ flanking fragment of Zpu1 gene, encoding the pullulanase-type starch debranching enzyme, was isolated. Promoter fragments of various lengths, including
the full 5′ flanking sequence (−2267 to −1) (Z1), a 3′ deletion (−2267 to −513) (Z5) and three 5′ deletions extending to −1943
(Z2), −1143 (Z3) and −516 (Z4) upstream of the translational initiation codon (ATG), were fused to the GUS reporter gene and
introduced into tobacco. When these constructs were tested in transgenic tobacco plants, seed-preferred GUS activity was observed
in pZ1-transgenic lines. In pZ2-transgenic lines, the GUS activity was not only restricted to seeds, but was also detected
in calyxes, petals, stamens and mature leaves. At the same time, negligible GUS activity was detected in roots, stems, young
leaves, stigmas and ovaries from the transgenic tobacco plants, which had integrated the full isolated sequence of Zpu1 promoter or its deletions. Deletion analysis indicated that the promoter contained a putative positive cis-regulatory element and the proximal region (−516 to −1) was essential for directing the expression of gus reporter gene. Analysis of GUS activity during the fruit development and seed germination suggested that Zpu1 promoter is active both in starch anabolism and in starch catabolism, which is consistent with the function of the endogenous
gene in maize. GUS activity in leaves under light and darkness confirmed that Zpu1 promoter functions in the starch degradation of photosynthetic tissues in the dark phase of the diurnal cycle. 相似文献

Functional characterization of a cotton late embryogenesis-abundant D113 gene promoter in transgenic tobacco 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Previous studies have shown that mRNA and protein encoded by late embryogenesis-abundant (LEA) gene D113 from Gossypium
hirsutum L. accumulate at high levels in mature seeds and also in response to abscisic acid (ABA) in young embryo. In this study,
we studied the expression of four promoter 5′ deletion constructs (−1383, −974, −578 and −158) of the LEA D113 gene fused to beta-glucuronidase (GUS). GUS activity analysis revealed that the −578 promoter fragment was necessary to direct
seed-specific GUS expression in transgenic tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.). To further investigate the expression pattern of LEA D113 promoter under environmental stresses, 2-week-old transgenic tobacco seedlings were exposed to ABA, dehydration, high salinity
and cold treatments. GUS activity in the seedlings was quantified fluorimetrically, and expression was also observed by histochemical
staining. An apparent increase in GUS activity was found in plants harboring constructs −1383, −974 and −578 after 24 h of
ABA or high-salinity treatments, as well as after 10 days of dehydration. By contrast, only a slight increase was observed
in all the three lines after cold treatment. Virtually no change in expression was found in construct −158 in response to
dehydration, salinity and cold, but there was a moderate response to ABA, suggesting that the region between −574 and −158
was necessary for dehydration- and salinity-dependent expression, whereas ABA-responsive cis-acting elements might be located in the −158 region of the promoter. 相似文献
