Identification and molecular analysis of transgenic potato chromosomes transferred to tomato through microprotoplast fusion

 Results are reported on the integration sites and copy number of alien marker genes neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII) and β-glucuronidase (uidA), introduced into diploid potato Solanum tuberosum through transformation by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Also, the transgenic potato chromosomes 3 and 5 harbouring the nptII and uidA genes, which were transferred to tomato (wild species Lycopersicon peruvianum) by microprotoplast fusion, as revealed by genomic in situ hybridization (GISH), were identified by RFLP analysis using chromosome-specific markers. The data revealed three integration sites in the donor potato genome, each containing the uidA gene, and two also harbouring the nptII gene. Analysis of monosomic-addition hybrid plants obtained after microprotoplast fusion showed that each of these three integration sites is located on a different potato chromosome. The microprotoplast hybrid plants contained only the chromosomes that carried the selectable gene nptII. The data on sexual transmission of the donor potato chromosome carrying the uidA and nptII genes were obtained by analysing the first backcross progeny (BC₁) derived from crossing a monosomic-addition hybrid plant to tomato (L. peruvianum). The glucuronidase (GUS) assay and PCR analysis using primers for the uidA gene indicated the presence of the potato chromosome in GUS-positive and its absence in GUS-negative BC₁ plants. RFLP analysis confirmed sexual transmission of the potato chromosome carrying the nptII and uidA genes to the BC₁ plants. A few BC₁ plants contained the nptII and uidA genes in the absence of the potato additional chromosome, indicating that the marker genes were integrated into the tomato genome. The potential applications of the transfer of alien chromosomes and genes by microprotoplast fusion technique are discussed. Recieved: 1 September 1996 / Accepted: 20 September 1996     

Assignment of DNA markers to Nicotiana sylvestris chromosomes using monosomic alien addition lines

 A sesquidiploid hybrid (PPS, 2n=32) between Nicotiana plumbaginifolia (PP, 2n=20) and N. sylvestris (SS, 2n=24) was backcrossed to N. plumbaginifolia to produce monosomic alien addition lines. A total of 89 2n=21 plants, each containing two sets of N. plumbaginifolia chromosomes and a single N. sylvestris chromosome, were obtained in the BC₁ and BC₂ generations. These plants were classified into 12 groups based on morphological characteristics. The N. sylvestris chromosomes in these plants were identified by RFLP and karyotype analyses. Among the 84 probes tested, 20 could not detect N. sylvestris-specific DNA bands, and the remaining 64 were assigned to 9 normal and 6 aberrant synteny groups. The 9 normal synteny groups corresponded to chromosomes 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12, respectively. Four aberrant synteny groups were the result of chromosome translocations, and 2 were deletions.

以蚕豆（Viciafaba,2n=12）根尖为材料,采用改良方法制备染色体标本,在光镜下切割分离一段大M染色体核仁组织区（NOR）特定区段（约合0．9pgDNA）,通过单一引物一聚合酶链式反应法（SingleUniquePrimer-PCR）随机扩增微切DNA后,获得近60μgDNA。经琼脂糖电泳分析测定扩增产物分子片段大小介于200-900bp。以地高新（Digoxigenin）标记蚕豆总体DNA,作为探针与扩增产物进行Southern杂交,证实扩增得到的DNA与蚕豆DNA同源,来自做切染色体。部分扩增产物经ECORI酶切后,连人经同酶切割后的pUC18载体质粒,转化大肠杆菌（EcoliJM109）。琼脂糖电泳分析得到的部分克隆,得知插人子长度介于0．25-0．9kb。本文将用于动物材料的单一引物一聚合酶链式反应法应用于植物染色体的微切微扩增,并作了一定程度简化,初步建立起一套包括微切、扩增、检测和克隆的便捷、经济的实验室制备植物染色体区域特异性基因文库的方法。
