The sequencing of the Arabidopsis plant genome is providing a fuller understanding of the number and types of plant genes. However, in most cases we do not know which genes are responsible for specific metabolic and signal transduction pathways. Analysis of gene function is also often confounded by the presence of multiple isoforms of the gene of interest. Recent advances in PCR-based reverse genetic techniques have allowed the search for plants carrying T-DNA insertions in any gene of interest. Here we report preliminary screening results from an ordered population of nearly 60,470 independently derived T-DNA lines. Degenerate PCR primers were used on large DNA pools (n = 2,025 T-DNA lines) to screen for more than one gene family member at a time. Methods are presented that facilitated the identification and isolation of isoform-specific mutants in almost all members of the Arabidopsis H(+)-proton ATPase gene family. Multiple mutant alleles were found for several isoforms. 相似文献

A new reverse genetics method has been developed to identify and isolate deletion mutants for targeted plant genes. Deletion mutant libraries are generated using fast neutron bombardment. DNA samples extracted from the deletion libraries are used to screen for deletion mutants by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using specific primers flanking the targeted genes. By adjusting PCR conditions to preferentially amplify the deletion alleles, deletion mutants were identified in pools of DNA samples, each pool containing DNA from 2592 mutant lines. Deletion mutants were obtained for 84% of targeted loci from an Arabidopsis population of 51 840 lines. Using a similar approach, a deletion mutant for a rice gene was identified. Thus we demonstrate that it is possible to apply this method to plant species other than Arabidopsis. As fast neutron mutagenesis is highly efficient, it is practical to develop deletion mutant populations with more complete coverage of the genome than obtained with methods based on insertional mutagenesis. Because fast neutron mutagenesis is applicable to all plant genetic systems, this method has the potential to enable reverse genetics for a wide range of plant species. 相似文献

To identify new genes important for anther development, we screened for male sterile mutants among a population of Arabidopsis ecotype Columbia (Col) mutagenized by T DNA insertion (provided by ARBC). A male sterile mutant line with normal vegetative and flora development but no seed yield was isolated from Salk_118481 line. T DNA insertion site identification showed that there were no T DNA sequences in the genome of the mutants. Genetic analysis indicated that the mutant was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene named filament no elongation because the filament of the mutant remains very short at the 13-14 stage of anther development. The fne gene was mapped to a region of 97kb between the molecular makers MBD2 and MMG4 on chromosome 5 using map based cloning technique. No genes involved filament elongation were reported in this region, so we believe that FNE gene could be a new gene controlling filament elongation in Arabidopsis. 相似文献

Over 5000 transgenic families of Arabidopsis thaliana produced following seed transformation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens were screened for embryonic lethals, defectives, and pattern mutants. One hundred and seventy-eight mutants with a wide range of developmental abnormalities were identified. Forty-one mutants appear from genetic studies to be tagged (36% of the 115 mutants examined in detail). Mapping with visible markers demonstrated that mutant genes were randomly distributed throughout the genome. Seven mutant families appeared to contain chromosomal translocations because the mutant genes exhibited linkage to visible markers on two different chromosomes. Chromosomal rearrangements may therefore be widespread following seed transformation. DNA gel blot hybridizations with 34 tagged mutants and three T-DNA probes revealed a wide range of insertion patterns. Models of T-DNA structure at each mutant locus were constructed to facilitate gene isolation. The value of such models was demonstrated by using plasmid rescue to clone flanking plant DNA from four tagged mutants. Further analysis of genes isolated from these insertional mutants should help to elucidate the relationship between gene function and plant embryogenesis. 相似文献

在T-DNA插入突变体Salk_118481株系的群体中,筛选到一株雄性不育突变体,用T-DNA序列上的一对引物进行PCR鉴定表明其基因组中没有T DNA插入。通过背景纯化与遗传分析发现该雄性不育突变体是由单个隐性基因控制的,引起不育的主要原因是在花药发育的第13~14期,花丝不能伸长以完成授粉,故该突变体命名为fne (filament no elongation)。利用图位克隆的方法对FNE基因进行了定位,结果表明FNE基因位于第五条染色体上分子标记MBD2和MMG4之间的97kb区间内。目前该区间内尚未见到控制花丝伸长基因的报道,因此,FNE基因是一个控制花丝伸长的新基因。 相似文献

Rice is an important crop and major model plant for monocot functional genomics studies. With the establishment of various genetic resources for rice genomics, the next challenge is to systematically assign functions to predicted genes in the rice genome. Compared with the robustness of genome sequencing and bioinformatics techniques, progress in understanding the function of rice genes has lagged, hampering the utilization of rice genes for cereal crop improvement. The use of transfer DNA (T‐DNA) insertional mutagenesis offers the advantage of uniform distribution throughout the rice genome, but preferentially in gene‐rich regions, resulting in direct gene knockout or activation of genes within 20–30 kb up‐ and downstream of the T‐DNA insertion site and high gene tagging efficiency. Here, we summarize the recent progress in functional genomics using the T‐DNA‐tagged rice mutant population. We also discuss important features of T‐DNA activation‐ and knockout‐tagging and promoter‐trapping of the rice genome in relation to mutant and candidate gene characterizations and how to more efficiently utilize rice mutant populations and datasets for high‐throughput functional genomics and phenomics studies by forward and reverse genetics approaches. These studies may facilitate the translation of rice functional genomics research to improvements of rice and other cereal crops. 相似文献

Ectopic hypermethylation of flower-specific genes in Arabidopsis 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
BACKGROUND: Arabidopsis mutations causing genome-wide hypomethylation are viable but display a number of specific developmental abnormalities, including some that resemble known floral homeotic mutations. We previously showed that one of the developmental abnormalities present in an antisense-METHYLTRANSFERASEI (METI) transgenic line resulted from ectopic hypermethylation of the SUPERMAN gene. RESULTS: Here, we investigate the extent to which hypermethylation of SUPERMAN occurs in several hypomethylation mutants, and describe methylation effects at a second gene, AGAMOUS. SUPERMAN gene hypermethylation occurred at a high frequency in several mutants that cause overall decreases in genomic DNA methylation. The hypermethylation pattern was largely similar in the different mutant backgrounds. Genetic analysis suggests that hypermethylation most likely arose either during meiosis or somatically in small sectors of the plant. A second floral development gene, AGAMOUS, also became hypermethylated and silenced in an Arabidopsis antisense-METI line. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that ectopic hypermethylation of specific genes in mutant backgrounds that show overall decreases in methylation may be a widespread phenomenon that could explain many of the developmental defects seen in Arabidopsis methylation mutants. This resembles a phenomenon seen in cancer cells, which can simultaneously show genome-wide hypomethylation and hypermethylation of specific genes. Comparison of the methylated sequences in SUPERMAN and AGAMOUS suggests that hypermethylation could involve DNA secondary structures formed by pyrimidine-rich sequences. 相似文献

In a screen for morphological mutants from the T1 generation of approximately 50 000 activation-tagging lines, we isolated four dominant mutants that showed hyponastic leaves, downward-pointing flowers and decreased apical dominance. We designated them isoginchaku (iso). The iso-1D and iso-2D are allelic mutants caused by activation of the AS2 gene. The T-DNAs were inserted in the 3' downstream region of AS2. Iso-3D and iso-4D are the other allelic mutants caused by activation of the ASL1/LBD36 gene. These two genes belong to the AS2 family that is composed of 42 genes in Arabidopsis. The only recessive mutation isolated from this gene family was of AS2, which resulted in a leaf morphology mutant. Applying reverse genetics using a database of activation-tagged T-DNA flanking sequences, we found a dominant mutant that we designated peacock1-D (pck1-D) in which the ASL5/LBD12 gene was activated by a T-DNA. The pck1-D mutants have lost apical dominance, have epinastic leaves and are sterile. These results strongly suggest that activation tagging is a powerful mutant-mining tool especially for genes that make up a gene family. 相似文献

从拟南芥T-DNA插入突变体库中筛选到2个根发育相关基因ATMYB123和ATKOR1表达缺失的突变体atmyb123和atkor1,通过杂交构建这两个基因表达缺失的双突变体atmyb123/atkor1,以明确这两个基因在根发育中的作用。结果显示:(1)ATMYB123表达缺失突变体atmyb123植株地上部分发育减缓,种皮颜色变黄,而ATKOR1表达缺失突变体atkor1植株在这两方面与其野生型没有明显差异;两基因缺失均显著影响了拟南芥根的发育,根生长受到了严重抑制。(2)双突变体atmyb123/atkor1在植株形态和种皮颜色方面表现出单突变体AT-MYB123的特点,而其根长却介于两单突变体的中间。(3)进一步研究发现,培养基pH改变、NaCl处理、外源GA施用均没有改变突变体根生长趋势,显示这3种因素与两基因缺失突变引起的根发育抑制无关。研究表明,AT-MYB123和ATKOR1基因参与拟南芥根的发育调控,转录因子ATMYB123可能作为主调控因子参与ATKOR1对拟南芥根发育的调控。 相似文献

Activation tagging using the En-I maize transposon system in Arabidopsis 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

A method for the generation of stable activation tag inserts was developed in Arabidopsis using the maize (Zea mays) En-I transposon system. The method employs greenhouse selectable marker genes that are useful to efficiently generate large populations of insertions. A population of about 8,300 independent stable activation tag inserts has been produced. Greenhouse-based screens for mutants in a group of plants containing about 2,900 insertions revealed about 31 dominant mutants, suggesting a dominant mutant frequency of about 1%. From the first batch of about 400 stable insertions screened in the greenhouse, four gain-in-function, dominant activation-tagged, morphological mutants were identified. A novel gain-in-function mutant called thread is described, in which the target gene belongs to the same family as the YUCCA flavin-mono-oxygenase that was identified by T-DNA activation tagging. The high frequency of identified gain-in-function mutants in the population suggests that the En-I system described here is an efficient strategy to saturate plant genomes with activation tag inserts. Because only a small number of primary transformants are required to generate an activation tag population, the En-I system appears to be an attractive alternative to study plant species where the present transformation methods have low efficiencies. 相似文献

The eukaryotic origin recognition complex (ORC) is made up of six subunits and functions in nuclear DNA replication, chromatin structure, and gene silencing in both fungi and metazoans. We demonstrate that disruption of a plant ORC subunit homolog, AtORC2 of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), causes a zygotic lethal mutant phenotype (orc2). Seeds of orc2 abort early, typically producing embryos with up to eight cells. Nuclear division in the endosperm is arrested at an earlier developmental stage: only approximately four nuclei are detected in orc2 endosperm. The endosperm nuclei in orc2 are dramatically enlarged, a phenotype that is most similar to class B titan mutants, which include mutants in structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) cohesins. The highest levels of ORC2 gene expression were found in preglobular embryos, coinciding with the stage at which homozygous orc2 mutant seeds arrest. The homologs of the other five Arabidopsis ORC subunits are also expressed at this developmental stage. The orc2 mutant phenotype is partly suppressed by a mutation in the Polycomb group gene MEDEA. In double mutants between orc2 and medea (mea), orc2 homozygotes arrest later with a phenotype intermediate between those of mea and orc2 single mutants. Either alterations in chromatin structure or the release of cell cycle checkpoints by the mea mutation may allow more cell and nuclear divisions to occur in orc2 homozygous seeds. 相似文献

Genetic and molecular analyses of an Arabidopsis thalianamutant with necrotic cotyledons from the collection of insertion mutants obtained earlier were conducted. The mutation under study showed incomplete dominance and represented a single insertion of the T region of pLD3 vector used for transformation of germinating seeds to the plant genome during the creation of the collection. Using TAIL–PCR, a fragment of the mutant DNA adjacent to the left border of the T-DNA insertion was isolated and sequenced. Computer r-aided analysis showed that the insertion was located on the left arm of chromosome 1. The open reading frame containing the insertion has one exon and encodes a protein of 446 amino acids, whose function is unknown. 相似文献
