 以新疆海岛棉军海1号为受体,利用农杆菌菌液喷雾法（Floral spray）和质粒注射法（Plasmid injection）导入外源Bt基因。经过对转化植株T₁和T₂代大田筛选和PCR、Southern检测,并经孟德尔遗传规律符合度分析,结果表示：农杆菌菌液喷雾法T₀代成铃率比质粒注射法高8.3百分点;两种方法均可获得转基因植株,农杆菌菌液喷雾法较质粒注射法转化率高3.4百分点;农杆菌菌液喷雾处理后代较符合孟德尔遗传规律且单拷贝插入几率高。因此,农杆菌菌液喷雾法优于质粒注射法。     

多位点整合的转基因棉花后代分子鉴定

 GFP47是一个利用双元载体pPZP111构建的绿色荧光蛋白基因的简单质粒载体pPZP-GFP经农杆菌介导转化陆地棉(Gossypium hirsutum L.)获得的T₀株系,PCR和Southern杂交分析证实其不仅整合了多个拷贝的正常的T-DNA,而且有紧邻T-DNA左边界的载体骨架序列的整合。对来源于GFP47的33个T₁个体的PCR分析表明,T₁后代中可以分离只有正常T-DNA整合的个体。对T₁群体中不同基因型个体的Southern杂交分析结果显示,该多拷贝整合的T₀转化体至少在棉花基因组中有四个插入位点,不同的Southern带型暗示不同插入位点的T-DNA结构和排布有很大的不同。至少有一个位点整合了只包括目的基因和选择标记基因在内的正常T-DNA结构。

连续回交对消除农杆菌介导转化引起水稻体细胞变异的影响

农杆菌介导的转化引起许多体细胞变异, 影响了转基因植物的农艺性状。因此, 转基因作物的培育需要大量的T₀代再生植株。在本研究中, 我们将转基因水稻株系与原始品种连续回交, 然后评价其回交后代的表现, 消除体细胞变异, 恢复转基因亲本的农艺性状。回交的供体亲本是3个转基因水稻株系, 分别带有来自于苏云金芽胞杆菌(Bt)的抗虫基因。与原始品种连续回交至BC₃F₁代, 每代BC_nF₁单株再自交两代, 同时对各个世代进行抗虫性选择。通过发芽试验获得转基因纯合的BC_nF₃株系, 在室内抗性试验中, 所有的BC_nF₃纯合株系都能杀死100%的幼虫。在田间试验中, 这些株系的单株产量明显高于供体亲本, 大部分农艺性状与原品种没有显著的差异。这些结果说明连续回交能够在很大程度上恢复转基因水稻株系的农艺性状, 从而减少转基因育种过程中所需的工作量。

Agronomic and morphological characterization of Agrobacterium-transformed Bt rice plants

The agronomic and morphological characteristics of Agrobacterium-transformed rice plants carrying the synthetic cry1Ab or cry1Ac gene were investigated. Tremendous variations in plant height, seed fertility, grain size and other traits were seen in 80 T₁ lines, derived from 80 T₀ plants of 9 rice varieties. On average, about 33% T₁ lines had either morphological or agronomic variant plants. Most of the variations in T₁ plants had no significant correlation with transgene insertion and were proved heritable to their progenies. Genetic analysis in T₃ or T₄ generations showed some simple mutations such as chlorophyll deficiency and stunted plants were independent of transgene insertion and seemed to be controlled by a pair of single genes. However, in two independent transgenic progenies of Xiushui 11, all plants homozygous for transgenes showed dwarfism while all hemizygous and null segregants had normal plant heights. Two advanced homozygous Bt lines, KMD1 and KMD2, were developed from these two progenies. Comparison of the agronomic traits of KMD1 and KMD2 with their parent displayed marked differences among them in terms of seedling growth, tillering ability, yield components and yield potential. The genetic variation observed was generally not linked to the transgene locus and was ascribed to somaclonal variation, but other causes might also exist in particular cases. The results are discussed in the context of choosing appropriate transformation methodology for rice breeding programs. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Insect-mediated seed-set evaluation of 21 soybean lines segregating for male sterility at 10 different loci

The cowpea trypsin inhibitor gene (CpTI) and neomycin phosphotransferase gene (nptII) were introduced into the embryonic callus cells of immature embryos of wheat elite line Shannong 995604 using Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer. Independent plantlets were regenerated from kanamycin-resistant calli. PCR and real time PCR analysis, PCR-Southern and Southern blot hybridization indicated that there were three independently-dervied transgenic plants viz. transformed-I, II and III (T-I, T-II and T-III). The segregation of CpTI in the transgenic wheat progenies of T-Iand T-III were consistent with Mendelian inheritance. Resistance to the storage insect pest of wheat viz. the grain moth (Sitotroga cerealella Olivier) was improved significantly in seeds of the three transgenic wheat T₂ lines obtained from T₁ PCR-positive plants. The frequency of moth-eaten seed from T-I, T-IIand T-III was reduced 66.76%, 62.48% and 43.59% respectively. The investigation of agronomic traits of the three transgenic wheat T₁ PCR-positive plants revealed that the three transgenic lines had excellent agronomic traits. They provide good germplasm resource for wheat genetic improvement.     

水稻蛋白二硫键异构酶基因沉默载体构建及其转基因后代的高温结实特性分析

Inheritance and field performance of transgenic Korean Bt rice lines resistant to rice yellow stem borer

Transgenic Korean rice plants containing the cry1Ab gene were developed for resistance against yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas, YSB). More than 100 independent transgenic lines from three Korean varieties (P-I, P-II and P-III) were generated. The amount of Cry1Ab in transgenic T₀ plants was as high as 2.88% of total soluble proteins. These levels were sufficient to cause 100% mortality of YSB larvae. The majority of T₁ transgenic lines originated from the varieties P-I and P-II followed a Mendelian fashion of segregation. Deviation from the expected segregation ratio was observed in a small number of the transgenic lines of P-I and P-II origins. However, this deviation was primarily observed in the P-III originated lines. Segregation analysis of the T₁ generation indicated that 1–3 copies of the cry1Ab gene were integrated into the genome of the majority of the transgenic lines originating from varieties P-I and P-II. Stunted and semi-fertile mutants were observed in some transgenic lines. These aberrations were either independent or closely linked to the introduced cry1Ab gene loci in different transgenic lines. Reduction in GUS expression levels and loss of toxicity against YSB larvae were found in some transgenic lines. The transgenic T₃ and T₄ lines causing 100% mortality of third instar YSB larvae in the lab were completely protected in the field. Analysis of important yield components on nine selected transgenic lines indicated that stem length, panicle length, grain number per panicle, and seed setting rates were reduced in transgenic plants compared to those in non-transgenic parental rice lines. Number of panicles per cluster, however, was significantly higher in transgenic plants. The numerical value of the average yield was in general greater in the controls than in all the transgenic lines, indicating some ‘yield drag’. Since some selected lines were highly resistant to the YSB with good yielding potential, they offer effective potential for use in insect resistance management programs.     

Transgenic barley by particle bombardment. Inheritance of the transferred gene and characteristics of transgenic barley plants

Summary Transgenic barley plants (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Kymppi) were obtained by particle bombardment of various tissues. Immature embryos and microspore-derived cultures were bombarded with gold particles coated with plasmid DNA carrying the gene coding for neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII), together with plasmid DNA containing the gene for -glucuronidase (GUS).Bombarded immature embryos were grown to plants without selection and NPTII activity was screened in small plantlets. One plant proved to be transgenic (T₀). This chimeric plant passed the transferred nptII gene to its T₁ progeny. The presence of the nptII gene was demonstrated by the PCR technique and enzyme activity was analyzed by an NPTII gel assay. Four T₀ spikes and 15 T₁ offspring were transgenic. The integration and inheritance was confirmed by Southern blot hybridization. Transgenic T₂ and T₃ plants were produced by isolating embryos from green grains of transgenic T₁ and T₂ plants, respectively and growing them to plants. After selfing, the ratio of transgenic to non-transgenic T₂ offspring was shown to follow the rule of Mendelian inheritance. The general performance of transgenic plants was normal and no reduction in fertility was observed.Microspore-derived cultures were bombarded one and four weeks after microspore isolation. After bombardment, cultures were grown either with or without antibiotic selection (geneticin ^R or kanamycin). When cultures were grown without selection and regenerated plants were transferred to kanamycin selection in rooting phase, one out of a total of about 1500 plants survived. This plant both carried and expressed the transferred nptII gene. The integration was confirmed by Southern blot hybridization. This plant was not fertile.
