花粉管通道法转基因改良小麦品质的初步研究

为在短期内提高小麦品质,本研究构建了一个含有反义蜡质基因、HMWGS1Dy10基因和抗除草剂基因的重组质粒pWXAB,以优良小麦品种(冀麦24、白玉149、9411等)为材料,采用花粉管通道法进行转基因研究。对转基因后代进行除草剂筛选和SDSPAGE电泳。结果表明,除草剂基因及反义蜡质基因已经整合到小麦基因组中,从抗性水平而言,其转化频率为0.5%。

将含有 barnase基因与杆状病毒多角体基因 ( ph)的重组转座载体 p Fb- Bar在大肠杆菌中与含有棉铃虫核型多角体病毒 ( Ha NPV)的穿梭载体 Hanpvid转座并提取重组穿梭载体 DNA转染棉铃虫细胞 ,得到重组棉铃虫病毒 r Ha- Bar.其分子杂交证明 ,昆虫细胞中有 r Ha- Bar的 bar基因转录本存在 ,并能表达产生 33k D的多角体蛋白和 1 2 k D的 barnase.在平板上 ,barnase能降解RNA,出现清晰的降解圈 .r Ha- Bar对三龄棉铃虫幼虫的毒力比野生型 Ha NPV的 LD50 减少 2 0 % ,LT50 减少 30 % .用 barnase的拮抗基因 barstar构建了具有 Neo抗性、并能稳定表达 barstar的棉铃虫转化细胞 AM1 - NB.以携带 barnase基因的重组病毒 r Ha- Bar分别感染转化细胞和正常细胞 ,48h子代病毒在转化细胞中的产量比在正常细胞中高 2 3倍 ,72 h高 1 60倍 .     

Inhibition of class II MHC gene expression by anti-sense RNA in transgenic mice.

We have established transgenic mice carrying the anti-sense DNA to the gene encoding beta chain of the class II major histocompatibility complex (I-A) molecule. The amount of I-A molecule on splenic B lymphocytes from the mice was reduced in the presence of a large amount of the exogenous anti-sense RNA. The amount of I-A beta chain RNA was selectively reduced and inversely correlated with the amount of anti-sense RNA in the spleens. These results suggest that the I-A beta chain RNA is rapidly degraded by duplex formation with the anti-sense RNA in splenic B cells from the transgenic mice.
