Recently, a number of mutant gene loci in the Arabidopsis thaliana plant genome have been identified through insertional mutagenesis. In this review, we evaluate different methods used for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated T-DNA insertional mutagenesis with regard to their mutation frequencies and conclude that a major breakthrough in the isolation of genes involved in plant development has been acheived. To provide a specific example, we summarize recent progress made in the understanding of flower morphogenesis at the molecular level through the study of homeotic genes obtained via gene tagging. T-DNA gene fusion vectors are being discussed that will allow the isolation of plant regulatory sequences with particular cell or tissue specificity, or that are controlled by specific external stimuli. Finally, we report on the approaches followed to convert the maize transposons Ac/Ds into valuable gene tags for use in a heterologous host such as Arabidopsis. 相似文献

Forty-four independent transformed tobacco plants were obtained from a cocultivation experiment with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains carrying modified Ti-plasmids. The transformed plants were either self-fertilized or crossed with nontransformed plants or with other transformed plants. The segregation of a phenotypic marker (kanamycin resistance) in the progenies of these plants was determined. In 40 cases out of 44, the segregation of the kanamycin resistance marker is consistent with Mendelian genetics. Among these 40 clones, 35 contain a single kanamycin resistance locus. The five others segregate two independent resistance loci. In two of the single insert clones, the segregation ratio after selfing indicates that the T-DNA insertion may have caused a recessive lethal mutation. 相似文献

The tumour-inducing plasmids of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Ti-plasmids) reveal several interesting properties. They are catabolic plasmids, which, instead of rendering Agrobacterium strains capable of catabolizing compounds found in Nature, force a plant to synthesize these catabolites (denoted 'opines'). This situation is obtained by insertion of a segment of the Ti-plasmid (the T-DNA) into the plant nucleus, where T-DNA genes become expressed and intervene in the biosynthesis of these opines. Cells containing the T-DNA behave as neoplasms (crown gall cells). Southern blotting shows that the insertion process responsible for T-DNA transfer probably recognizes special sequences on the T-DNA since the length of the T-DNA segment observed in different, independently isolated tumour lines was found to be similar. For the nopaline Ti-plasmids both left-hand and right-hand borders were found to be constant. For the octopine plasmid the left border was constant and at least two classes of right-hand borders were found. Upon redifferentiation of the transformed plant cells, the T-DNA was found to be conserved in all somatic cells examined. However, small deletions at the border fragments of the T-DNA have been observed. The exact arrangement and copy number of the T-DNA in a nucleus is still under study, but genomic cloning has already revealed that an interspersed tandem arrangement is dominant in nopaline tumours. Clones containing both the right border of one T-DNA and the left border of the neighbouring tandem T-DNA were isolated. In order to identify the different T-plasmid encoded functions an extensive use was made of transposon insertion mutagenesis. When an antibiotic resistance transposon was inserted into the non-essential regions of the T-DNA, a linked transfer to the plant DNA of the transposon together with the T-DNA was observed. This indicates that Ti-plasmids are possible vectors for genetic engineering in plants. A strategy is described for insertion of any cloned DNA segment into the T-DNA. 相似文献

Summary The P type conjugative plasmid RP4 has been shown to be able to promote the transfer of the Agrobacterium Ti-plasmid. The results provide additional evidence that agrocin 84 sensitivity, exclusion of phage AP1, ability to catabolize the guanidine derivatives octopine and nopaline and tumor inducing ability, are Ti-plasmid determined properties. Furthermore, the results strongly support the notion that at least part of the Ti-plasmid is transferred from the bacterium to the target plant cells, since it was demonstrated that Ti-plasmid linked genes specify the synthesis of octopine or nopaline by crown-gall tumor cells. 相似文献
