An Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation system for Rubia peregrina L. has been established by co-cultivation of callus cultures or by direct infection of explants with A. rhizogenes LBA 9402 harbouring the binary vector pMON 9703 containing gus and npt-II genes as markers. The putative transformed roots were selected on medium containing kanamycin (25 mg l-1). Antibiotic resistant root clones were subjected to histochemical analysis for the localisation of -glucuronidase activity. Polymerase chain reaction was used to confirm the presence of gus, npt-II and T

border sequences in the transformed root clones. Spontaneous regeneration of shoots was observed from 30 day-old transgenic roots. Total anthraquinone and alizarin contents of transgenic root cultures were measured by spectrophotometry and by high performance liquid chromatography. The accumulation of total anthraquinones in transformed roots was found to be approximately 2-fold higher than that found in one year-old field grown roots (2.12±0.12 and 1.23±0.12 mg g-1 dry weight, respectively). Alizarin was found to be the major anthraquinone in transformed root cultures and was found to be approximately 3-fold higher than in field grown roots.Abbreviations BA

Transgenic Japanese lawngrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) plants regenerated from protoplasts 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Transgenic Japanese lawngrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) plants were generated by means of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated direct gene transfer into protoplasts. The plasmid
pBC1 was used to deliver the hygromycin phosphotransferase (hph) and β-glucuronidase (gus) genes into protoplasts. Selection with a high concentration (400 mg/l) of hygromycin yielded a number of resistant calli
and about 400 plants were generated. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern hybridization analyses revealed that all
of then plants tested contained introduced genes. The gus gene regulated by the maize alcohol dehydrogenase-1 (Adh 1) promoter was expressed in the leaves and roots of transgenic Japanese lawngrass plants.

High-efficiency induction of soybean hairy roots and propagation of the soybean cyst nematode 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Cotyledon explants of 10 soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars were inoculated with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain K599 with and without binary vectors pBI121 or pBINm-gfp5-ER possessing both neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII) and β-glucuronidase (gus) or nptII and green fluorescent protein (gfp) genes, respectively. Hairy roots were produced from the wounded surface of 54–95% of the cotyledon explants on MXB selective
medium containing 200 μg ml−1 kanamycin and 500 μg ml−1 carbenicillin. Putative individual transformed hairy roots were identified by cucumopine analysis and were screened for transgene
incorporation using polymerase chain reaction. All of the roots tested were found to be co-transformed with T-DNA from the
Ri-plasmid and the transgene from the binary vectors. Southern blot analysis confirmed the presence of the 35S-gfp5 gene in the plant genomes. Transgene expression was also confirmed by histochemical GUS assay and Western blot analysis for
the GFP. Attempts to induce shoot formation from the hairy roots failed. Infection of hairy roots of the soybean cyst nematode
(Heterodera glycines Ichinohe)-susceptible cultivar, Williams 82, with eggs of H. glycines race 1, resulted in the development of mature cysts about 4–5 weeks after inoculation. Thus the soybean cyst nematode could
complete its entire life cycle in transformed soybean hairy-root cultures expressing GFP. This system should be ideal for
testing genes that might impart resistance to soybean cyst nematode.

The present study evaluated the use of γ-radiation to physically remove selective marker genes previously introduced into
the soybean genome. Homozygous seeds from a transgenic soybean line carrying the gus and ahas transgenes were irradiated with γ-rays. Six plants presenting a deleted gus gene were analyzed by Southern blot to confirm removal of both ahas and gus genes. Line 1A presented an absence of the gus gene cassette and presence of the ahas gene cassette. 相似文献

Shoot cultures of nickel hyperaccumulating Alyssum murale were established from epicotyl explants of seedlings aseptically germinated on hormone-free MS medium. They were further
maintained on media with 0–0.92 μM kinetin. Optimal shoot multiplication was at 0.46 μM kinetin. Inoculation by shoot wounding
was performed with overnight suspension of A. rhizogenes A4M70GUS which contains GUS gene cointegrated in pRiA4. After 30 days hairy roots were produced at the wounding site in 31
explant (25% out of 124). Hairy roots were excised and further propagated on hormone-free medium as separate clones. In the
first passage clones 3 and 6 could be distinguished by fast growth and spontaneous shoot regeneration. In other clones (12,
23 and 25) shoot regeneration required presence of cytokinins. The five shoot culture clones regenerated from hairy roots
were further cultured on media with 0.46 μM kinetin. These shoots were characterized by good elongation and lateral shoot
branching, short internodes, minute slightly curled leaves and well developed plagiotropic root system spreading over the
surface of media. Thus all plants regenerated from hairy root cultures manifested the characteristic Ri syndrome phenotype.
They all had a strong positive GUS reaction. PCR analysis confirmed presence of uidA sequence from the gus construct. They were also tolerant to nickel accumulating up to 24,700 μg g−1 dry weight. 相似文献

Two non-linked marker genes (gus and bar) were co-introduced by microprojectile bombardment into wheat cells. Four different DNA structures were compared with respect
to ability to integrate into the wheat genome: circular or linear (l) DNA as a single- or double-stranded plasmid (ss and
ds, respectively). In eight independent experiments, linearized DNA integrated in the ds or ss form with a high efficiency
of up to 14% for l-ssDNA. Molecular analyses by Southern blotting showed that all DNA forms gave a similar complicated integration
pattern of the bar gene.

In this study, the efficiency of inducible promoters to switch on gene expression in the presence of inducer or to switch it off in its absence was evaluated in tobacco cell suspensions transformed with the gus gene coding sequence. Either plant (pats1A, pSalT, pIn2‐2) or microbial (pMre, pTet) inducible promoters were used to drive gus expression. The inducers were light, abscisic acid, 2‐CBSU, CuSO4, tetracycline, respectively. For each construct (inducible promoter‐gus coding sequence), the optimal induction conditions were determined (inducer concentration, induction time, and age of cells in culture cycle before induction). The efficiency of the inducible promoter was then evaluated under optimal induction conditions. GUS‐expression levels obtained under non‐inducing and inducing conditons were systematically compared. Thirty or forty percent of the clones transformed with the pSalT‐gus or pTet‐gus construct, respectively, showed high induction rates (>1000) and GUS activities of the same order as those obtained with a constitutive system. However, basal GUS levels were always high for the pTet‐gus cell lines. Seventy or eighty‐five percent of the cell lines transformed with the pMre‐gus or pln2‐2‐gus construct, respectively, had induction rates of 1.5 to 1000. The pats1A‐gus construct gave very low induction rates—55% of cell lines had induction rates less than 1.5. Only the pSalt‐gus construct gave both the highest induction rates and basal GUS‐levels equivalent to the endogenous GUS background. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Actively growing root tips of Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr. plants are highly susceptible to damage if waterlogged, but they are known to have some tolerance after they
stop growing in the autumn. This paper describes the selection of clones on the basis of root dormancy timing and the corresponding
responses of their roots to over-winter waterlogging. Sitka spruce transplants of Alaska, Queen Charlotte Islands (QCI), and
Washington provenances were screened for early or late root dormancy over 2 successive years. Cuttings were propagated from
the selected plants and after growing on for 2 years, they were planted in transparent acrylic tubes within outdoor ‘root
observation chambers’. Extension of main roots and the timing of onset of root dormancy was recorded on the clonal plants.
The tubes were flooded in November and maintained with a water table 280 mm below the soil surface until March of the next
year. Waterlogging caused most main root tips to die back, but within 2 months of draining regeneration occurred on the main
roots below the waterlogging level. This regeneration was most commonly the growth of existing lateral tips or production
of new lateral roots. Roots of early-dormant Washington plants died back on average 129 mm less than late-dormant Washington
plants, and early-dormant Alaska plants had 173 mm less dieback than late-dormant Alaska plants. Differences between the clones
of the QCI provenance were not significant. The 40% and 52% increases in survival depth of roots in early-dormant Washington
and Alaska clones respectively indicates a potential for improving the rooting depth of Sitka spruce on seasonally waterlogged
soils by planting clones selected on the basis of root dormancy.

Lactose and melibiose are actively accumulated by the wild-type Escherichia coli lactose carrier, which is an integral membrane protein energized by the proton motive force. Mutants of the E. coli lactose carrier were isolated by their ability to grow on minimal plates with succinate plus IPTG in the presence of the
toxic lactose analog β-thio-o-nitrophenylgalactoside (TONPG). TONPG-resistant mutants were streaked on melibiose MacConkey indicator plates, and red clones
were picked. These melibiose positive mutants were then streaked on lactose MacConkey plates, and white clones were picked.
Transport assays indicated that the mutants had altered sugar recognition and a defect in sugar accumulation. The mutants
had a poor apparent K
m
for both lactose and melibiose in transport. One mutant had almost no ability to take up lactose, but melibiose downhill
transport was 58% (V
max
) of normal. All of the mutants accumulated methyl-α-d-galactopyranoside (TMG) to only 8% or less of normal, and two failed to accumulate. Immunoblot analysis of the mutant lactose
carrier proteins indicated that loss of sugar transport activity was not due to loss of expression in the membrane. Nucleotide
sequencing of the lacY gene from the mutants revealed changes in the following amino acids of the lactose carrier: M23I, W151L, G257D, A295D and
G377V. Two of the mutants (G257D and G377V) are novel in that they represent the first amino acids in periplasmic loops to
be implicated with changes in sugar recognition. We conclude that the amino acids M23, W151, G257, A295 and G377 of the E. coli lactose carrier play either a direct or an indirect role in sugar recognition and accumulation.

Cinchona officinalis 'Ledgeriana', former called Cinchona ledgeriana, hairy roots were initiated containing constitutive-expression constructs of cDNAs encoding the enzymes tryptophan decarboxylase
(TDC) and strictosidine synthase (STR) from Catharanthus roseus, two key enzymes in terpenoid indole and quinoline alkaloid biosynthesis. The successful integration of these genes and the
reporter gene gus-int was demonstrated using Southern blotting and the polymerase chain reaction. The products of TDC and STR, tryptamine and
strictosidine, were found in high amounts, 1200 and 1950 μg g–1 dry weight, respectively. Quinine and quinidine levels were found to rise up to 500 and 1000 μg g–1 dry weight, respectively. The results show that genetic engineering with multiple genes is well possible in hairy roots of
C. officinalis. However, 1 year after analyzing the hairy roots for the first time, they had completely lost their capacity to accumulate
alkaloids.

Susceptibility of Mexican cacti to Agrobacterium rhizogenes was evaluated in 65 species of 22 genera. Stem discs taken from in vitro cultured plants were inoculated with Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4 agropine-type strain that contains the wild RiA4 plasmid and the binary vector pESC4 with the nptII and gus genes. Hairy roots were produced directly from wounds, or starting from calli generated on the wounded surface, in 34 of
the evaluated species. The frequency of hairy roots formation, the number of roots per explant and its growth rates were variable
among the tested species. In the 31 remaining species the production of transformed roots was not observed under the conditions
used in these experiments. Histochemical detection of β-glucuronidase (GUS) activity demonstrated the expression of this foreign
gene in the hairy roots. PCR analyses demonstrated the presence of the rolB and nptII genes in the DNA of the transformed roots. The patterns of alkaloid-like compounds obtained by thin layer chromatography
in some of the tested species were qualitatively similar between the transformed and non-transformed roots. 相似文献

Transgenic apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) Florina plants were obtained by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The efficiency of gene transfer was 7.9%, calculated as a number of explants producing at least one transgenic shoot, after co-cultivation of leaf explants from in vitro-grown shoots in a thin layer of the A. tumefaciens C58C1 strain with the binary vector pCMB-B:GUS. Polymerase chain reaction revealed that all the clones contained the nptII and rolB genes, while four of them did not contain the gus gene. Southern blot analysis confirmed the integration of the nptII and rolB genes, with one to three copies per genome being present. All independent rolB-transgenic lines were able to produce roots in vitro on the hormone free medium, while the plants, transformed with the vector pIB16.1, or untransformed control plants did not root, and only half of shoots of MM106 rootstock rooted on this medium. The average root number in the rolB-transgenic clones ranged from 4 to 7.7. Pretreatment with indole-3-butyric acid caused root formation in all transgenic and control plants and significantly increased root number in the rolB-transgenic lines, compared to untransformed plants. RolB-transgenic plants, grown in vivo in greenhouse for 2 years, did not differ phenotypically from the wild type line with the exception of root parts. All rolB-transformed plants produced altered root systems containing more fine roots leading to significantly increased fresh root weight in five plant lines. 相似文献

Stable transformation of Lithospermum erythrorhizon by Agrobacterium rhizogenes and shikonin production of the transformants 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Seedling hypocotyls of Lithospermum erythrorhizon were infected with Agrobacterium rhizogenes (strain 15834) harboring a binary vector with an intron-bearing the β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene driven by cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter as well as the hygromycin phosphotransferase
(HPT) gene as the selection marker. About 20% of the hairy roots isolated were hygromycin resistant and had co-integrated
GUS and HPT genes in their Lithospermum genomic DNA. Because GUS activity was detected in almost all the hygromycin-resistant root tissues, the CaMV 35S promoter
seems to be ubiquitously active in L. erythrorhizon hairy roots. In pigment production medium M9, the hairy root cultures had shikonin productivity similar to that of cell suspension
cultures of Lithospermum. They also showed light-dependent inhibition of shikonin biosynthesis similar to that of Lithospermum cell cultures. These findings suggest that this hairy root system transformable with A. rhizogenes is a suitable model system for molecular characterization of shikonin biosynthesis via reverse genetics.

In order to study the expression in plants of therolD promoter ofAgrobacterium rhizogenes, we have constructed chimaeric genes placing the coding region of thegusA (uidA) marker gene under control of tworolD promoter fragments of different length. Similar results were obtained with both genes. Expression studies were carried out in transformed R1 progeny plants. In mature transformed tobacco plants, therolD-gus genes were expressed strongly in roots, and to much lower levels in stems and leaves. This pattern of expression was transmitted to progeny, though the ratio of the level of expression in roots relative to that in leaves was much lower in young seedlings. The degree of root specificity inrolD-gus transformants was less than that of a gene constructed with domain A of the CaMV 35S promoter,domA-gus, but the level of root expression was much higher than with the latter gene. However, the level of expression of therolD-gus genes was less than that of agus gene with a 35S promoter with doubled domain B, 35S2-gus. TherolD-gus genes had a distinctive pattern of expression in roots, compared to that of the two other genes, with the strongest GUS activity observed in the root elongation zone and in vascular tissue, and much less in the root apex. 相似文献

Abscisic acid and hydraulic conductivity of maize roots: a study using cell- and root-pressure probes 总被引:31,自引:0,他引:31
Using root- and cell-pressure probes, the effects of the stress hormone abscisic acid (ABA) on the water-transport properties
of maize roots (Zea mays L.) were examined in order to work out dose and time responses for root hydraulic conductivity. Abscisic acid applied at
concentrations of 100–1,000 nM increased the hydraulic conductivity of excised maize roots both at the organ (root Lpr: factor of 3–4) and the root cell level (cell Lp: factor of 7–27). Effects on the root cortical cells were more pronounced
than at the organ level. From the results it was concluded that ABA acts at the plasmalemma, presumably by an interaction
with water channels. Abscisic acid therefore facilitated the cell-to-cell component of transport of water across the root
cylinder. Effects on cell Lp were transient and highly specific for the undissociated (+)-cis-trans-ABA. The stress hormone ABA facilitates water uptake into roots as soils start drying, especially under non-transpiring conditions,
when the apoplastic path of water transport is largely excluded.

The apple rootstock M26 (Malus domestica) was infected with a binary vector system of Agrobacterium tumefaciens carrying the neomycin phosphotransferase II and Arabidopsis phyB genes. Thirteen transformed clones were obtained from 329 infected leaves. Five of the clones had a single copy integration,
six clones had two copies, one clone had five copies and one of the clones had eight copies of the phyB gene integrated. No
differences in rooting were found between transformed and untransformed plants. The stem length was reduced in nine of the
13 transgenic clones, and shoot, root and plant dry weights were reduced in all transformed clones compared with untransformed
control plants. Northern analysis showed that the Arabidopsis phyB gene was expressed in the transformed clones.

Nine diazotrophic bacteria were isolated from surface-sterilized roots and culms of wheat variety Malviya-234, which is grown
with very low or no inputs of nitrogen fertilizer. Out of the nine bacteria, four showed indole acetic acid (IAA) production,
and five were positive for P solubilization. One isolate, WM234C-3, showed appreciable level of nitrogenase activity, IAA
production, and P solubilization ability, and was further characterized with a view to exploiting its plant growth promoting
activity. Based on 16S rDNA sequence analysis, this isolate was identified as Achromobacter xylosoxidans. Diazotrophic nature of this particular isolate was confirmed by Western blot analysis of dinitrogenase reductase and amplification
of nifH. Analysis of the nifH sequence showed close homology with typical diazotrophic bacteria. Endophytic nature and cross-infection ability of WM234C-3
were tested by molecular tagging with gusA fused to a constitutive promoter followed by inoculation onto rice seedlings in axenic conditions. At 21 days after inoculation,
the roots showed blue staining, the most intense color being at the emergence of lateral roots and root tips. Microscopic
observation confirmed colonization of gus-tagged WM234C-3 in the intercellular spaces of cortical as well as vascular zones of roots. Inoculation of gus-tagged WM234C-3 to rice plants resulted in significant increase in root/shoot length, fresh weight, and chlorophyll a content. Plant growth promoting features coupled with cross-infection ability suggest that this endophytic bacterium may
be exploited as agricultural agent for various crops after a thorough and critical pathogenicity test. 相似文献

Cloning and expression of UDP-glucose: flavonoid 7-O-glucosyltransferase from hairy root cultures of Scutellaria baicalensis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A cDNA encoding UDP-glucose: baicalein 7-O-glucosyltransferase (UBGT) was isolated from a cDNA library from hairy root cultures of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi probed with a partial-length cDNA clone of a UDP-glucose: flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase (UFGT) from grape (Vitis vinifera L.). The heterologous probe contained a glucosyltransferase consensus amino acid sequence which was also present in the Scutellaria cDNA clones. The complete nucleotide sequence of the 1688-bp cDNA insert was determined and the deduced amino acid sequences
are presented. The nucleotide sequence analysis of UBGT revealed an open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 476 amino
acids with a calculated molecular mass of 53 094 Da. The reaction product for baicalein and UDP-glucose catalyzed by recombinant
UBGT in Escherichia coli was identified as authentic baicalein 7-O-glucoside using high-performance liquid chromatography and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The enzyme activities
of recombinant UBGT expressed in E. coli were also detected towards flavonoids such as baicalein, wogonin, apigenin, scutellarein, 7,4′-dihydroxyflavone and kaempferol,
and phenolic compounds. The accumulation of UBGT mRNA in hairy roots was in response to wounding or salicylic acid treatments.
