Slash pine genetic transformation through embryo cocultivation with A. tumefaciens and transgenic plant regeneration

Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation has been widely used to generate transgenic plants in angiosperms. However, progress in conifer species has lagged because of the recalcitrant nature of gene transfer. In this study, a transgenic plant regeneration system has been established for slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Among the different Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains (EHA105, GV3101, and LBA4404) tested, the highest frequency (60%) of transient β-glucuronidase-expressing embryos was obtained from Agrobacterium strain GV3101 with over 330 blue spots per embryo. To improve the frequency of transformation, different cocultivation conditions were analyzed. Combination of Agrobacterium density at OD₆₀₀?=?0.9, 50 s sonication of embryos, and the addition of 50 μM acetosyringone produced the highest transformation efficiency, in which 56.2% of embryos formed hygromycin-resistant calli. Transient gene expression was observed in cotyledons and hypocotyls, but transgenic plants were only produced from callus cultures derived from embryonic cotyledons of transformed slash pine. Stable integration of transgenes in the plant genome of slash pine was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction, Southern blot, and Northern blot analyses. Transgenic lines with a single T-DNA copy were produced from Agrobacterium strains EHA105 (80.4%), GV3101 (95.7%), and LBA4404 (66%). These results demonstrated that a stable transformation system has been established in slash pine, and this system could provide an opportunity to transfer economically important genes into slash pine.     

Strain specific Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of Bacopa monnieri

Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation is the most preferred strategy utilized for plant genetic transformation. The present study was carried out to analyze the influence of three different strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens on genetic transformation of Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell. In the present study, B. monnieri was genetically transformed with three different strains of A. tumefaciens viz. LBA4404, EHA105 and GV3101 harbouring expression vector pCAMBIA2301 containing β-glucuronidase (GUS) as a reporter gene. The putative transformants were analyzed by PCR method using transgene specific primers. Expression and presence of GUS reporter protein were analyzed by histochemical staining assay and quantitative analysis of GUS enzyme was done using fluorometric assay. No statistically significant difference in transformation efficiency was found for all the three strains. Interestingly, Gus expression was variable with LBA4404 plants showing highest GUS activity.     

Optimization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Agrobacterium</Emphasis>-mediated transient expression of heterologous genes in spinach

The Agrobacterium-mediated transient assay is a relatively rapid technique and a promising approach for assessing the expression of a gene of interest. Despite the successful application of this transient expression system in several plant species, it is not well understood in spinach. In this study, we analyzed various factors, including infiltration method, Agrobacterium strain and density, and co-infiltration of an RNA silencing suppressor (p19), that affect transient expression following agroinfiltration in spinach. To evaluate the effects of these factors on the transient expression system, we used the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene construct pB7WG2D as a positive control. The vacuum-based infiltration method was much more effective at GUS gene expression than was the syringe-based infiltration method. Among the three Agrobacterium strains examined (EHA105, LBA4404, and GV2260), infiltration with the GV2260 strain suspension at a final optical cell density (OD₆₀₀) of 1.0 resulted in the highest gene expression. Furthermore, co-expression of suppressor p19 also increased the efficiency and duration of gene expression and protein accumulation. The results indicate that the use of optimized conditions for transient gene expression could be a simple, rapid, and effective tool for functional genomics in spinach.     

Bacterial transposons are co-transferred with T-DNA to rice chromosomes during Agrobacterium-mediated transformation

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is widely utilized for delivering a foreign gene into a plant's genome. We found the bacterial transposon Tn5393 in transgenic rice plants. Analysis of the flanking sequences of the transferred-DNA (T-DNA) identified that a portion of the Tn5393 sequence was present immediately next to the end of the T-DNA. Because this transposon was present in A. tumefaciens strain LBA4404, but not in EHA105 and GV3101, our findings indicated that Tn5393 was transferred from LBA4404 into the rice genome during the transformation process. We also noted that another bacterial transposon, Tn5563, is present in transgenic plants. Analyses of 331 transgenic lines revealed that 26.0% carried Tn5393 and 2.1% contained Tn5563. In most of the lines, an intact transposon was integrated into the T-DNA and transferred to the rice chromosome. More than one copy of T-DNA was introduced into the plants, often at a single locus. This resulted in T-DNA repeats of normal and transposon-carrying TDNA that generated deletions of a portion of the T-DNA, joining the T-DNA end to the bacterial transposon. Based on these data, we suggest that one should carefully select the appropriate Agrobacterium strain to avoid undesirable transformation of such sequences.     

Agrobacterium‐mediated transformation of reed (Phragmites communis Trinius) using mature seed‐derived calli

Reed (Phragmites communis) is a potential bioenergy plant. We report on its first Agrobacterium‐mediated transformation using mature seed‐derived calli. The Agrobacterium strains LBA4404, EHA105, and GV3101, each harboring the binary vector pIG121Hm, were used to optimize T‐DNA delivery into the reed genome. Bacterial strain, cocultivation period and acetosyringone concentration significantly influenced the T‐DNA transfer. About 48% transient expression and 3.5% stable transformation were achieved when calli were infected with strain EHA105 for 10 min under 800 mbar negative pressure and cocultivated for 3 days in 200 μm acetosyringone containing medium. Putative transformants were selected in 25 mg l^?1 hygromycin B. PCR, and Southern blot analysis confirmed the presence of the transgenes and their stable integration. Independent transgenic lines contained one to three copies of the transgene. Transgene expression was validated by RT‐PCR and GUS staining of stems and leaves.     

Artificial Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains exhibit diverse mechanisms to repress Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae‐induced hypersensitive response and non‐host resistance in Nicotiana benthamiana

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) rapidly triggers a hypersensitive response (HR) and non‐host resistance in its non‐host plant Nicotiana benthamiana. Here, we report that Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101 blocks Xoo‐induced HR in N. benthamiana when pre‐infiltrated or co‐infiltrated, but not when post‐infiltrated at 4 h after Xoo inoculation. This suppression by A. tumefaciens is local and highly efficient to Xoo. The HR‐inhibiting efficiency of A. tumefaciens is strain dependent. Strain C58C1 has almost no effect on Xoo‐induced HR, whereas strains GV3101, EHA105 and LBA4404 nearly completely block HR formation. Intriguingly, these three HR‐inhibiting strains employ different strategies to repress HR. Strain GV3101 displays strong antibiotic activity and thus suppresses Xoo growth. Comparison of the genotype and Xoo antibiosis activity of wild‐type A. tumefaciens strain C58 and a set of C58‐derived strains reveals that this Xoo antibiosis activity of A. tumefaciens is negatively, but not solely, regulated by the transferred‐DNA (T‐DNA) of the Ti plasmid pTiC58. Unlike GV3101, strains LBA4404 and EHA105 exhibit no significant antibiotic effect on Xoo, but rather abolish hydrogen peroxide accumulation. In addition, expression assays indicate that strains LBA4404 and EHA105 may inhibit Xoo‐induced HR by suppression of the expression of Xoo type III secretion system (T3SS) effector genes hpa1 and hrpD6. Collectively, our results unveil the multiple levels of effects of A. tumefaciens on Xoo in N. benthamiana and provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the bacterial antibiosis of A. tumefaciens and the non‐host resistance induced by Xoo.     

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of Campanula glomerata

A transformation system for Campanula glomerata 'Acaulis' based on the co-cultivation of leaf explants with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 or EHA105 was developed. A. tumefaciens was eliminated when the explants were cultured on medium containing 400 mg/l vancomycin and 100 mg/l cefotaxime. Transgenic plants containing the uidA gene that codes for #-glucuronidase (gus) were obtained following co-cultivation with either strain of A. tumefaciens, LBA4404 or EHA105, both of which harbored the binary vector pGUSINT, coding for the uidA and neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII) genes. While the transformation frequency (2-3%) was similar for both strains, A. tumefaciens LBA4404 was effectively eliminated from Campanula at a lower concentration of antibiotic as compared to EHA105. The concentration of individual antibiotics required to eliminate EHA105 resulted in a decreased rate (55-67%) of regeneration. The highest percentage of explants that regenerated plants (79%) and the highest regeneration rate was achieved with 100 mg/l cefotaxime combined with 400 mg/l vancomycin. Plants were also transformed with the isopentenyl transferase (ipt) gene using LBA4404 containing the 35S-ipt vector construct (pBC34).     

影响农杆菌介导的木薯基因转化因素的研究

Factors influencing agrobacterium-mediated cassava transformation were investigated. Among the four Agrobacterium strains tested, LBA 4404 (pTOK 233) and LBA 4404 (pBin9GusInt) gave higher transient expression than C 58 C1 (pIG121Hm) and EHA 105 (pBin9Husint). Pretreatment of explants by bombardment or vaccum had no significant effect on transient expression while preinduction of Agrobacterium with acetosyringone showed better effects, and preculture of explants showed worse effects. All the cultivars tested were susceptible to Agrobacterium infection, while the types of explants and the physiological state of the explants had a strong influence on the transient expression efficiency. The 15-day-old somatic cotyledons and the fully expanded leaves from in vitro plantlets were the most susceptible to Agrobacterium infection. The results also showed that all the four selective reagents (hygromycin, geneticin, PPT, and kanamycin) synchronously suppressed the growth of callus, shoot organogenesis and shoot rooting in a dose dependent manner.
