According to the results of histochemical staining, transgenic D. salina was blue, showing that the exogenous GUS gene was successfully expressed in the cells of D. salina. Meanwhile, the effects of growth state of D. salina, plasmid concentration and temperature on its transformation efficiency were studied, and the transformation conditions were optimized. The results show that the optimum conditions for the genetic transformation of D. salina are shown as follows： D. salina was in the early logarithmic phase; plasmid DNA concentration was 600 μg/ml; temperature was 29 ℃, and transformation efficiency was up to 74.8‰ under the best conditions. According to the results of PCR amplification and PCR-Southern hybridization, the target gene had been integrated into genome and was hereditary.展开更多

[Methed] Using the cotyledons with petiole as transformation receptor, the fusion gene of rapeseed oil-body gene and bFGF was introduced into the rapeseed （ Brassica campestris L. ） by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation; meanwhile regeneration conditions of rapeseed were also optimized, and the regenerated resistant plantlets were detected by PCR and Southern blot. [ Result] This fusion gene had been integrated into rapeseed genome successfully, and the optimized conditions of transformation and regeneration were as follows： explants pre-culture for 2 d, co-culture for 3 d, bacteria solution OD600 for 0.3 and infection time for 5 min. [ Conclusion] The results laid a solid foundation for extraction, isolation and purification of protein in transgenic plant seeds.展开更多

Plasmid DNA of pGLⅡ_RC_1 was mixed with fresh pollen of maize inbreds in sucrose solution. The pollens were treated by ultrasonication and collected, pollinated on silks of maize ears. Transformants were confirmed by dot blot hybridization, PCR amplification and PCR_Southern blot hybridization. The pollen_mediated transformation approach could circumvent the tedious tissue culture procedures like in particle bombardment and Agrobacterium infection, etc. This approach is simple, easy to operate, and could be widely used in practice.展开更多

This may, in turn, affect transgene expression levels. To test the above hypothesis, we first introduced the same plasmid, pAc1PG_CAM, into rice (Oryza sativa L.) calli separately by the biolistic method and by the Agrobacterium _mediated method. To show whether different plasmids may affect the results, we also introduced pTOK233 by the Agrobacterium _mediated method and pJPM44 by the biolistic method. Transgene expression of R0 plants was monitored by histochemical analysis of GUS activity. Transgene copy number was determined by Southern blot analysis after digesting genomic DNA with an enzyme that has a unique cutting site within the input plasmid. The total genomic DNA was also digested by a two_cut enzyme (the cuts are located at two sides of a given transgene expression cassette), followed by Southern blotting analysis, for determining the number of intact transgene expression cassettes. Our data showed that Agrobacterium _mediated transformation resulted in lower transgene copy number (average between 2.1 and 2.3) in transgenic rice plants, compared with those plants obtained by the biolistic method (average between 4.2 and 5.6). The frequency of DNA rearrangement in expression cassettes is lower in transgenic rice plants obtained by the Agrobacterium _ mediated method than those obtained by the biolistic method. The average rearrangement frequency is 0.07 to 0.106 for the Agrobacterium _mediated method, and 0.57 to 0.66 for the biolistic method. Our results suggest that it is better to compare the number of intact expression cassettes instead of the total copy number of the transgene in demonstrating their influence on the level of transgene expression. This is the first report on the frequency of expression cassette rearrangement in transgenic plants transformed with the same plasmid by two different transformation methods.展开更多

It is well known as a recalcitrant crop for gene transformation and tissue culture because of its genotype dependent in vitro responses. In present study, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of cry8Db from Bacillus thuringiensis into KB 1 sweet potato variety has been studied. The C58cv strain carrying a pBl 121 backbone which contained cry8Db delta-endotoxin gene regulated under 35 S CaMV prom oter, and the selection marker gene, neomycin phosphotransferase （npt11） gene, was subjected for plant transformation. Callus induced from shoot tips and leaf explants were inoculated and cocultured with A. tumefaciens. The selection occurred during callus producing and plant regenerating steps. A total of 201 transgenic putative plant lines were produced, and 21 transgenic lines were positively confirmed by PCR and finalized by Southern blot. Four putative transgenic lines confirming a single copy of the crySEIb gene were transferred into soil pots in greenhouse. Biological activity evaluation for the insecticidal capacity of these transgenic lines under controlled conditions showed that the level of infestation by sweet potato weevils （Cylasformicarius） in untransformed plants was higher than that of transgenic lines.展开更多

Excised cotyledon and hypocotyls of Orychophragmus violaceus were used as explants for genetic transformation. After 2-3 days of co-cultivation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain A208SE(PROA93),the hypocotyls and cotyledon were transferred onto selection medium containing 25 mg/L Km and 250 mg/L Ap. 8 weeks later, shoots emerged,then the shoots were excised and transferred onto root medium containing 25 mg/L Km and 100 mg/L Cef. The roots were formed within 4-5 weeks.The whole plants were transplanted into pots and grew well. The frequency of plant regeneration of hypocotyls was about 30%,and that of cotyledon was 51%.The regenerated plants showed high enzymatic activities ofglucuronidase and neomycin phosphotransferase II. Southern blot analysis confirmed that NPT II gene had been stably integrated into the chromosomal genome of Orychophragmus violaceus .the transformation frequency of hypocotyls was 10%,and that of cotyledon was 5.5%.展开更多
