番茄基因工程的研究进展

文中概述了近几年来番茄基因工程方面的研究进展。其中番茄基因组精细序列分析的完成是这一领域得以快速发展的基础。在育种方面,利用转基因技术生产出了具有各种抗性的番茄植株,获得了具有优良品质的新品种。同时,基因工程手段拓展了番茄在医学上的应用。目前研究人员已利用番茄生产药用蛋白、抗体、口服疫苗、病毒转基因番茄疫苗,并且对番茄红素的研究有望推动对癌症基因疗法的研究。总之,利用基因工程手段,有望使番茄成为集治疗、营养和免疫于一身的新型蔬菜。

Research Progress of Tomato Gene Engineering

The research progress of tomato gene engineering in recent years were reviewed.The completed genome sequence analysis of tomato is rapid development foundation in this field.In the breeding,transgenic technology was used to obtain resistant-tomato plant and quality-advanced new varieties.At the same time,genetic engineering expand the application of tomato in medicine.Now,researchers have use tomato to produce medical protein,antibody,oral vaccine,virus transgenic tomato vaccine,as well as in ancer resistance research.In a word,genetic engineering can make tomato become the vegetable which can be use in treatment,nutrition and immunity.
