Summary Fertile transgenic maize plants (T0) and progeny (T1) were obtained using microprojectile bombardment and callus selection on hygromycin B. To quickly identify progeny expressing the transgene, embryos from T3 generation kernels were excised 20 days after pollination and exposed to different concentrations of hygromycin B. Surviving and non-surviving embryos were assayed for the presence of the hygromycin phosphotransferase (aphIV) gene using polymerase chain reaction. Embryos that germinated and survived on 25, 50, or 100 mg/liter hygromycin possessed theaphIV gene. Embryos that did not germinate lacked the gene. Progeny surviving selection were transferred to the greenhouse and tested for expression of the gene using a leaf disc assay. The results demonstrated that the gene construct was expressed in both embryo and leaf tissue and that selection during germination successfully eliminated progeny lacking the gene of interest. This method is also useful for rapid-cycling of maize generations.  相似文献

After pre-culture and treatment of osmosis, cotyledons of immature peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) zygotic embryos were transformed via particle bombardment with a plasmid containing a chimeric hph gene conferring resistance to hygromycin and a chimeric intron-gus gene. Selection for hygromycin resistant calluses and somatic embryos was initiated at 10th d post-bombardment on medium containing 10-25 mg/L hygromycin. Under continuous selection, hygromycin resistant plantlets were regenerated from somatic embryos and were recovered from nearly 1.6% of the bombarded cotyledons. The presence and integration of foreign DNA in regenerated hygromycin resistant plants was confirmed by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for the intron-gus gene and by Southern hybridization of the hph gene. GUS enzyme activity was detected in leaflets from transgenic plants but not from control, non-transformed plants. The production of transgenic plants are mainly based on a newly improved somatic embryogenesis regeneration system developed by us.  相似文献

The Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of the zygomycetous fungus Mucor circinelloides is described. A method was also developed for the hygromycin B-based selection of Mucor transformants. Transformation with the hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene of Escherichia coli controlled by the heterologous Aspergillus nidulans trpC promoter resulted in hygromycin B-resistant clones. The presence of the hygromycin resistance gene in the genome of the transformants was verified by polymerase chain reaction and Southern hybridization: the latter analyses revealed integrations in the host genome at different sites in different transformants. The stability of transformants remained questionable during the latter analyses.  相似文献

筛选标记的有效选择(筛选周期及筛选效率)是影响作物基因转化成败的重要因素之一。该文在农杆菌介导水稻转化过程中,比较研究了两个标记基因(hpt和bar基因)对抗性愈伤组织产生时间及出愈率的影响。结果表明:以hpt为筛选标记,抗性愈伤组织出现周期短,出愈率高达20%左右;而bar基因作为筛选标记时,抗性愈伤组织块出现较慢,出愈率仅10%左右。因此,在水稻的农杆菌转化中,仅作为筛选标记,hpt基因的效果要明显优于bar基因。  相似文献

The DNA coding sequence for the hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene was placed under the control of the regulatory sequences of a cloned long terminal repeat of Moloney sarcoma virus. This construction allowed direct selection for hygromycin B resistance after transfection of eucaryotic cell lines not naturally resistant to this antibiotic, thus providing another dominant marker for DNA transfer in eucaryotic cells.  相似文献

Mouse L fibroblasts and other mammalian cells are killed by the translation inhibitor hygromycin B. We have modified the gene conferring resistance against hygromycin B in E. coli in such a way that it can be transcribed in mammalian cells from the promoter of the HSVtk gene. The resulting plasmid, pHMR272, was transfected into mouse L fibroblasts and HeLa cells by the calcium phosphate method and upon selection produced clones resistant against hygromycin B. The transfection rate was similar to that obtained with other selective markers. This plasmid is a useful addition to the relatively small number of dominant selectable markers available for mammalian cells.  相似文献

The green fluorescent protein (GFP) was used as a visual selectable marker to produce transgenic coffee (Coffea canephora) plants following Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The binary vector pBECKS 2000.7 containing synthetic gene for GFP (sgfp) S65T and the hygromycin phosphotransferase gene hph both controlled by 35S cauliflower mosaic virus CaMV35S promoters was used for transformation. Embryogenic cultures were initiated from hypocotyls and cotyledon leaves of in vitro grown seedlings and used as target material. Selection of transformed tissue was carried out using GFP visual selection as the sole screen or in combination with a low level of antibiotics (hygromycin 10 mg/L), and the efficiency was compared with antibiotics selection alone (hygromycin 30 mg/L). GFP selection reduced the time for transformed somatic embryos formation from 18 weeks on a hygromycin (30 mg/L) antibiotics containing medium to 8 weeks. Moreover, visual selection of GFP combined with low level of antibiotics selection improved the transformation efficiency and increased the number of transformed coffee plants compared to selection in the presence of antibiotics. Molecular analysis confirmed the presence of the sgfp-S65T coding region in the regenerated plants. Visual screening of transformed cells using GFP by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation techniques was found to be efficient and therefore has the potential for development of selectable marker-free transgenic coffee plants.  相似文献

Soybean transformation is limited by the lack of multiple efficient selectable marker systems. Biolistic transformation of somatic proliferative embryogenic cultures, one of the commonly used soybean transformation methods, relies largely on hygromycin phosphotransferase II (hptII) selection. The purpose of the present study was to establish another efficient selectable marker system to facilitate multiple gene transformations of soybean. We tested neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII) that has been used successfully in cotyledonary node transformation, but with limited success in transformation of embryogenic cultures. Transgenic events were obtained using nptII with improved G418 selection without generating escapes. G418 selection required longer recovery and selection periods, and resulted in a lower efficiency of initial transformants compared to hygromycin selection. Six independent fertile transgenic plants were recovered using nptII and G418, a frequency similar to that obtained with hygromycin selection. Soybean embryogenic cultures co-transformed with the hptII and nptII markers showed resistance to both hygromycin B and G418, while regeneration and plant fertility were not adversely affected. The nptII will be useful as a second selectable marker for multiple gene transformations in basic and applied soybean research.  相似文献

An improved rice transformation system using the biolistic method   总被引:38,自引:0,他引:38  
Immature embryos and embryogenic calli of rice, both japonica and indica subspecies, were bombarded with tungsten particles coated with plasmid DNA that contained a gene encoding hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPH, conferring hygromycin resistance) driven by the CaMV 35S promoter or Agrobactenum tumefaciens NOS promoter. Putatively transformed cell clusters were identified from the bombarded tissues 2 weeks after selection on hygromycin B. By separating these cell clusters from each other, and by stringent selection not only at the callus growth stage but also during regeneration and plantlet growth, the overall transformation and selection efficiencies were substantially improved over those previously reported. From the most responsive cultivar used in these studies, an average of one transgenic plant was produced from 1.3 immature embryos or from 5 pieces of embryogenic calli bombarded. Integration of the introduced gene into the plant genome, and inheritance to the offspring were demonstrated. By using this procedure, we have produced several hundred transgenic plants. The procedure described here provides a simple method for improving transformation and selection efficiencies in rice and may be applicable to other monocots.Abbreviations bp base pairs - CaMV cauliflower mosaic virus - GUS -glucuronidase - HPH hygromycin phosphotransferase - hyg B hygromycin B - hygr hygromycin resistance - NOS Agrobactenum tumefaciens nopaline synthase - PCR polymerase chain reaction - X-Gluc 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl--D-glucuronide  相似文献

We have established an efficient genetic transformation system for creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) using particle bombardment. The transformation was performed using the plasmid pZO1052 which contains the reporter β-glucuronidase (uidA) gene and the selectable marker hygromycin phosphotransferase (hph) gene. Transformed calli and plants were obtained via particle bombardment followed by selection of transformants on medium containing 200 mg/l of hygromycin. An average of 4.6 resistant colonies per bombardment were obtained. Southern analysis confirmed the integration of foreign genes in 19 of 21 putative transformants, indicating that selection by hygromycin was highly effective.

Summary We show here that plant cells are sensitive to the antibiotic hygromycin-B4. We also show that a chimaeric gene consisting of the nopaline synthase (nos) gene regulatory elements and the E. coli derived hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) gene, when transferred to plants' cells, confers resistance to hygromycin B. The chimaeric nos-hpt gene enables efficient selection of DNA transfer to plant cells when used in conjunction with Ti plasmid-derived binary vectors in cocultivation experiments.  相似文献

We report on a novel transformation procedure for barley by Agrobacterium infection of in vitro cultured ovules. Ovules of the cultivar Golden Promise were isolated a few hours after pollination and infected with the Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain AGL0 carrying the binary vector pVec8-GFP. The vector harboured a hygromycin resistance gene and the green fluorescence protein (GFP) gene. GFP-expressing embryos were isolated from the ovules, regenerated to plants and investigated by Southern blot analysis. Transformation frequencies amounted to 3.1% with hygromycin selection and 0.8% without selection. Mendelian inheritance and stable expression of the GFP gene was confirmed in 18 independent lines over two generations. We conclude that the described technique allows for the rapid and direct generation of high quality transgenic plants.Communicated by W. Harwood  相似文献

A variety of selection systems have been developed for transformation of forage crops. To compare the most frequently used systems, we tested three selectable marker genes for their selection efficiency under four selection procedures for the production of transgenic tall fescue. Embryogenic calluses initiated from mature embryos were bombarded with three constructs containing either the phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (bar) gene, the hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) gene or the neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII) gene. Transformation efficiency was strongly influenced by the selectable marker gene, selection procedure and genotype. The highest transformation efficiency was observed using the bar gene in combination with bialaphos. Average transformation efficiencies with bialaphos, phosphinothricin (glufosinate), hygromycin and paromomycin selection across the two callus lines used in the experiments were 9.4%, 4.4%, 5.2% and 1.6%, respectively. Southern blot analysis revealed the independent nature of the tested transgenic plants and a complex transgene integration pattern with multiple insertions.  相似文献

Summary Selectable marker genes play an important role in plant transformation. The level of selection pressure is generally established by generating a kill curve for the selectable marker. In most cases, the lowest concentration which kills all explants is used. This study examined two selectable marker genes, phosphinothricin acetyl transferase (PAT) and hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT), in transformation of tobacco leaf disks. Experiments to determine the lethal level of the herbicide, glufosinate-ammonium (phosphinothricin) (PPT) using a leaf-disk regeneration assay established that no shoots regenerated at 2 to 4 mg PPT per 1. Likewise with the antibiotic, hygromycin (HYG), no plants regenerated at 50 mg hygromycin per 1. In contrast, after cocultivation of the leaf disks withAgrobacterium tumefaciens containing either the PAT or HPT gene in combination with a Bt gene for insect resistance, plants were successfully regenerated from leaf disks at 2 to 4 mg PPT per 1 and 50 mg hygromycin per 1. However, most plants regenerated at 2 and 3 mg PPT per 1 were found to be nontransformed (95–100% escapes) by i) Southern-blot analysis, ii) herbicide application test, and iii) insect feeding bioassay. On the other hand, plants that regenerated on 50 mg hygromycin per 1 and 4 mg PPT per 1 were transgenic as determined by Southern analysis, leaf assay for PPT or HYG resistance, and death of tobacco budworms feeding on these leaves. This study showed a significant level of cross-protection and/or transient expression of the PAT selectable marker gene allowing escapes (95–100%) at selection levels of 2 and 3 mg PPT per 1 which completely kill controls. On the other hand, the HPT gene at 50 mg is efficient in selecting for T-DNA integration.  相似文献

标记基因的选择是影响植物遗传转化和转基因后代筛选成败的关键因素。hpt与bar作为两种常用的水稻转化筛选标记被广泛应用于水稻的转化。为比较两者在实际应用中的效果, 文章首先对比了在潮霉素和除草剂(Bialaphos)两种筛选剂下水稻遗传转化的情况。研究表明, hpt基因的转化筛选体系相对于bar基因在转化效率上提高近两倍, 转化周期提前至少10 d, 且插入基因拷贝数更低。随后, 文章分析了利用潮霉素浸种法在田间筛选转基因水稻的可行性, 研究显示当潮霉素浓度大于167 mg/L时, 可以对以水稻品种kitaake为亲本的转基因材料进行有效筛选, 达到常规除草剂的筛选效果。但与除草剂相比较, 潮霉素的田间筛选成本却处于劣势。文章研究和讨论了hpt和bar基因在遗传转化和后代田间筛选中的优缺点, 并提供了一种利用潮霉素浸种法筛选转基因后代阳性植株的手段, 为将来在水稻转基因研究工作中根据实际需求选择合适的遗传转化、筛选体系提供参考。  相似文献

In order to improve the efficiency of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) transformation, two different selection systems were assessed, a positive one based on the use of mannose as the selective agent, and a negative one based on hygromycin resistance encoded by an intron-containing hph gene. Transgenic plants selected on mannose or hygromycin were regenerated for the first time from embryogenic suspensions cocultivated with Agrobacterium. After the initial selection using mannose and hygromycin, 82.6% and 100% of the respective developing embryogenic callus lines were transgenic. A system allowing plant regeneration from only transgenic lines was designed by combining chemical selection with histochemical GUS assays. In total, 12 morphologically normal transgenic plant lines were produced, five using mannose and seven using hygromycin. The stable integration of the transgenes into the nuclear genome was verified using PCR and Southern analysis. RT-PCR and northern analyses confirmed the transgene expression in the regenerated plants. A rooting test on mannose containing medium was developed as an alternative to GUS assays in order to eliminate escapes from the positive selection system. Our results show that transgenic cassava plants can be obtained by using either antibiotic resistance genes that are not expressed in the micro-organisms or an antibiotic-free positive selection system.  相似文献

Shuttle vectors expressing resistance to hygromycin B in bothE. coli and in mammalian cells were constructed. A combination of the simian virus 40 early promoter upstream of the native bacterial promoter of theneo gene from transposon Tn5 was found to express hygromycin B resistance better in both types of host cells than a combination of the Tn5 promoter followed by the promoter of the Herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene. Hygromycin phosphotransferase fusion proteins with extensions at the carboxyterminus were also tested and found to be marginally less effective as selection markers in eukaryotic cells but virtually inactive inE. coli.Abbreviations HM hygromycin - hpt hygromycin phosphotransferase gene - neo neomycin (geneticin) phosphotransferase gene - DHFR dihydrofolate reductase  相似文献

Development of a transformation system in the n-alkane-assimilating diploid yeast Candida tropicalis requires an antibiotic resistance gene in order to establish a selectable marker. The resistance gene for hygromycin B has often been used as a selectable marker in yeast transformation. However, C. tropicalis harboring the hygromycin resistance gene (HYG) was as sensitive to hygromycin B as the wild-type strain. Nine CTG codons were found in the ORF of the HYG gene. This codon has been reported to be translated as serine rather than leucine in Candida species. Analysis of the tRNA gene in C. tropicalis with the anticodon CAG [tRNA(CAG) gene], which is complementary to the codon CTG, showed that the sequence was highly similar to that of the C. maltosa tRNA(CAG) gene. In C. maltosa, the codon CTG is read as serine and not leucine. These results suggested that the HYG gene was not functional due to the nonuniversal usage of the CTG codon. Each of the nine CTG codons in the ORF of the HYG gene was changed to a CTC codon, which is read as leucine, by site-directed mutagenesis. When a plasmid containing the mutated HYG gene (HYG#) was constructed and introduced into C. tropicalis, hygromycin-resistant transformants were successfully obtained. This mutated hygromycin resistance gene may be useful for direct selection of C. tropicalis transformants.  相似文献
