cryIA(b)基因及其介导的抗性在转基因水稻中的遗传

研究了cryLA(b)基因及其介导的抗虫性在转基因水稻自交或回交后代中的遗传规律和遗传稳定性。结果表明：cryLA(b)基因及其连锁的bar基因作为一个显性遗传位点遵循孟德尔遗传分离规律；在T1代群体中遵循3：1的分离规律，T2代稳定纯合；在BC11～BC4代群体中遵循1：1的分离规律，BC群体自交的BCF9群体中遵循3：1分离规律。cryLA(b)基因及其介导抗性已稳定地遗传至T7代和BC4代。室内及田间抗虫性鉴定显示，不同世代的转基因植株均保持稳定的高度抗虫性。     

水稻抗白叶枯病基因Xa47(t) a的敲除及抗性鉴定

为鉴定水稻Xa47(t)a基因对白叶枯病的抗性,以水稻种质L214为材料,通过构建针对Xa47(t)a基因的Xa47(t)a-Cas9敲除载体来获得敲除突变体,利用生物信息学技术对突变的Xa47(t)a基因进行突变类型分析,同时采用实时荧光定量PCR(quantitative real-time PCR,qPCR)技术分析突变体中Xa47(t)a及病程相关基因的表达情况,并于水稻孕穗期对突变体及其野生型植株接种11株白叶枯病菌Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae菌株进行抗性鉴定。结果表明,在Xa47(t)a基因的第2外显子区域进行基因编辑后成功获得25株T₀代突变体株系;测序分析发现T₀代突变体株系中有13种不同的突变体类型,其中纯合突变体有3种类型,且突变位点均在靶标位点的11位碱基处缺失1～4个A碱基;氨基酸序列分析发现大部分突变体中Xa47a编码的蛋白翻译会提前终止,由原来的803个氨基酸变为144～166个氨基酸;qPCR分析结果表明突变体中Xa47(t)a及大部分病程相关基因的表达水平显著低于野生型株系;抗性鉴...     

转cry1Ab基因抗虫籼稻对非靶标害虫白背飞虱发育与繁殖的影响

为了比较2个转cry1Ab基因抗虫籼稻品系B1和B6对其非靶标害虫白背飞虱敏感性与其非转基因亲本对照嘉早935的差异，采用历期测定和产卵行为电子记录等方法分别测定了白背飞虱于B1和B6及嘉早935上的发育历期、产卵行为及繁殖力。结果表明，该飞虱以B1和B6为食时，其雌雄若虫总发育历期均显著长于对照，其中在B1上各延长了1．3和1．5天，B6延长了2．0和1．4天。产卵行为的电子记录结果表明，该飞虱在B1和B6上的产卵频次、一次产卵时间及总产卵时间与对照相比均无显著差异。在寄主植株可选择时，该飞虱有偏爱于B1上产卵，其上的产卵痕数、卵块数和总产卵量明显多于对照；而不嗜好于B6上产卵，其上的卵块及其卵粒数、总产卵量明显少于对照。然而，在寄主植株不可选择时，则未观察到这种差异。就卵孵化率而言，不论在寄主可选择还是不可选择时，与对照相比B1和B6对其均无显著的不利影响。     

Soybean plants expressing an active oligomeric oxalate oxidase from the wheat gf-2.8 (germin) gene are resistant to the oxalate-secreting pathogen Sclerotina sclerotiorum

Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) De Bary is a serious fungal disease of soybean. Senescing petals provide a starting nutrient source for the invasion of healthy tissue by the advancing oxalic acid secreting fungal hyphae. Since oxalic acid is a major pathogenicity factor of SSR, transgenic soybean capable of degrading oxalic acid may be resistant to the pathogen. Transgenic soybean plants were produced byAgrobacterium -mediated transformation with the wheat germin gene (gf-2.8) encoding an oligomeric protein, oxalate oxidase (OxO), which oxidizes oxalic acid to carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). Transgenic soybean homozygous for 35S- gf-2.8 produced an approx. 130 kDa protein indistinguishable from wheat germin, and with OxO activity. OxO activity was prominent in cell walls proximal to the site of pathogen attack. The transgenics had greatly reduced disease progression and lesion length following cotyledon and stem inoculation with S. sclerotiorum indicating that the germin gene product conferred resistance to SSR. This is the first report of plant resistance to the fungal pathogen S. sclerotiorum in transgenic plants expressing OxO.
