In order to study the effects of insertal orientation, the gfp reporter gene was inserted in the isiAB locus of Synechococcus sp. PCC7942 in different directions, and the GFP expression levels and the growth of the transgenic algae were compared. It was showed that the gfp gene could express in each direction, and no significant difference was detected on algal growth and GFP expression levels between the two recombinant algae.展开更多

Targeting the sites of these two fragments,homologous recombinant fragments of exogenous gene were integrated to construct lettuce plastid expression vector p Brpo AGFP,which harbored the expression cassette Prrn-gfp-aad A-Tpsb A. The results showed that the amplified flanking fragments were 1.2 and 1.1 kb in size. After sequencing,restriction digestion,ligation and transformation,lettuce plastid expression vector containing expression cassette Prrn-gfp-aad A-Tpsb A was constructed and confirmed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The results of SDS-PAGE electrophoresis indicated that gfp gene was efficiently expressed under the regulation of plasmid specific promoter Prrn and terminator Tpsb A. GFP accounted for 45. 6% of total soluble proteins; inclusion bodies accounted for 47.5 % of bacterial proteins,which reached relatively high expression levels. The construction of lettuce plastid expression vector p Brpo A-GFP laid a solid foundation for establishment of subsequent lettuce plastid transformation system and genetic improvement of lettuce using various functional genes.展开更多

High expression of GFP （green-fluorescent protein） was observed in transgenic cells as early as 42 h after co-culture with Agrobacterium. Most of the stable transformation events were detected in the cells of primary vascular tissue. GFP transient expression could be detected on all the explants after co-culturing for 4 d, however, the highest GFP stable expression was recorded when the explants were co-cultured for 3 d. We believe the transient and stable expression of a foreign gene in genetic transformation were two relative but different events, because high transient expression did not surely lead to high stable transformation. Under the same conditions of in vitro culture, transgenic and non-transgenic calli exhibited different morphological characters on different stages of development. High concentration of plant growth regulators （PGRs） was efficient for somatic embryogenesis of the transgenic calli, which means that the transgenic calli need relatively higher dose of hormone for further growth and somatic embryogenesis than non-transgenic ones. Strong GFP-expression was observed in leaf, stem, petioles, floral tissues, and seedlings of T~ progeny. Segregation ratios of eight transgenic lines were scored for expression of GFP in the T~ progeny that providing further evidence of stable transformation. These results proved that GFP is a powerful reporter gene for protocol optimization, selection, and monitioring in whole transformation events.展开更多
