新型定点重组酶系统在植物基因转化和基因叠加中的应用前景

Application prospect of new site-specific recombination systems in gene transformation and gene stacking

定点重组转基因技术是调节外源基因表达,提高转基因效率的重要手段之一。核苷酸的重组反应介导基因之间的易位、倒位、删除和整合,从而影响基因在不同组织器官和不同发育阶段的表达。将位点特异性重组系统应用在转基因技术中,不仅可以用来在短时间内获得大量结构正常,表达稳定的转化植株,提供育种新资源,还可用于高效鉴定新基因的功能。基于定点重组的基因叠加技术使转基因作物向复合型性状聚合体的方向发展,加快了新品系的研发进程,将为我国转基因作物的研发提供新的技术思路。

Site-specific recombination technology provides an important means for regulating transgene expression and improving efficiency of gene transformation. This technique can lead to the translocation, inversion, deletion, and integration, and the expression of the affected genes can be manipulated in different tissues and organs at different developmental periods. Using site-specific recombination system in gene transformation, we can not only acquire plenty of transformants with precise structural fidelity and faithful expression, but also understand the function of new genes efficiently. Gene stacking technology based on the site-specific recombination can produce transgenic crops with good complex traits, which will accelerate the process of research and development of elite cultivars and provide technical support for the exploration of transgenic crops in China.
