质体工程与抗虫生物技术研究进展

Advances in plastid engineering and pest resistance biotechnology

除了传统细胞核基因组外,植物的质体基因组同样可以实现遗传操作。自从1990年首例质体转基因烟草诞生,越来越多物种的质体转化事件被报道,质体已经成为了植物基因工程、合成生物学和农作物性状改良的热点研究领域。本文简要阐述了质体基因工程的特点、转化技术和质体合成生物学,重点阐述了质体工程在作物抗虫领域取得的进展。

The genome of plastid(chloroplast) can be engineered by genetic transformation, as well as the genome of nuclear. An increasing number of plastid transformation events have been reported since the first transplastomic tobacco was established in 1990. Plastid has become the hot spot of plant genetic engineering, synthetic biology and crop improvement. This review mainly describes the characteristics of plastid engineering, transformation system and synthetic biology, highlights the progress of plastid engineering in the field of pest control.
