The results indicate that explant, light condition, salt concentration and acetosyringone (AS) concentration in co-culture medium are the most important factors, and factors like co-culture temperature, co-culture period and bacteria density have a strong effect on the growth of bacteria and then T-DNA transfer. Optimized co-cultivation was performed by inoculation of embryogenic callus with bacteria at a density of OD600= 0.50.8 for 20 min and co-culture in darkness under 23 C on medium with 1/2 MS salts and 300 mol稬1 AS for 3 d.展开更多

To confirm the genes and investigate the function,we cloned the gene by RT-PCR and then conduct bioinformatic analyses. In this study,a 1 537 bp long c DNA sequence of this gene( named as Gh TAT) was firstly cloned,which contained a coding region of 1 233 bp,which was predicted to encode a protein of 410 amino acids. Bioinformatic analysis showed that the Gh TAT was a stable hydrophobic protein without signal peptide. Subcellular location prediction result indicated that this protein located in chloroplast,which is the biosynthesis position of tyrosine and the derived products of tyrosine biosynthesis pathway. Moreover,typical Tyrosine aminotransferase domain was found in this protein,indicating that it is a TAT. According to the TAT-based phylogenetic analysis and similarity analysis,the closest relationship and highest similarity was found between Gh TAT and Halianthus annuus TAT,which again verified the TAT property of Gh TAT. Tyrosine aminotransferase( TAT) is the first enzyme in tyrosine biosynthesis pathway,whose products include many antioxidant substances such as tocopherols and tocotrienols. The up-regulation of Gh TAT in root rot diseased gerbera suggests that it may play an important role in response to the root rot pathogen infection. In addition,60 phosphorylation sites( accounting for 14. 6%) were found in this protein,suggesting that the expression of this protein and its encoding gene were greatly influenced by the phosphorylation reactions.展开更多

The r...Effect of explant, site of leaflet, induction period in the dark and combinations of plant growth regulators on direct adventitious bud induction and plant regeneration of Rosa hybrida Samantha was investigated. The results showed that after an induction period of 8 d on MS medium with 1.5 mg L-1 TDZ and 0.05 mg L-1 NAA in the dark and a subculture on MS medium with 0.5 mg L-1 BA and 0.01 mg L-1 NAA under light, the best plant regeneration was obtained and the regeneration frequencies of leaflets and petioles were 51.8 and 10% respectively. There was no significant difference in regeneration ability between leaflets at different sites of the compound leaves, longer time of induction in the dark or high concentration of auxin would cause callus formation, which was disadvantageous for shoot regeneration, and the regeneration frequency was significantly reduced. This regeneration system could be applied for genetic transformation of this cultivar in the future.展开更多

Silicon is considered to be a necessary element for plant growth, and soluble silicon can improve plant resilience. To improve the drought resilience of Petunia hybrida, the silicon transporter protein OsLsi1 and OsLsi2 genes cloned from rice（Oryza sative） were transferred into Petunia hybrida by Agrobacterium-mediated method, and finally got 26 and 32 positive plants, respectively by PCR and RT-PCR detections. With a control of non-transgenic plants, the obtained transgenic plants were taken by drought treatment stress for 0, 4, 7, 10 and 14 days, then re-watered and measured physiological indexes as malondialdehyde（MDA） content, free proline（Pro） content, superoxide dismutase（SOD） activity and peroxidase（POD） activity to study the effect of Petunia＇s drought resistance. All the results proved that the silicon transporter protein OsLsi1 and OsLsi2 genes were normally transcripted and expressed in transgenic Petunia hybrida; OsLsi1 gene could improve the abilities of plants＇ drought resistance and recover after drought stress, while OsLsi2 gene could reduce the above abilities. The order of the drought resistance ability of the three strains from strong to weak was OsLsi1〉CK〉OsLsi2; and silicon indeed improved the ability of drought resistance as well. All these results provided a new way to improve the drought resistance of Petunia, and laid a foundation to improve the ability of garden plants＇ drought resistance and water saving.展开更多

The result of sequence analysis indicated that M/o gene from Pericallis hybrida B. Nord. contained about 1296bp open reading frame and encoded 431 amino acids. According to the comparison of the exogenous gene sequences by BLAST analysis and phylogenetic analysis, Mlo gene shared over 85% nucleotide homology and 98% amino acid homology. Finally, through semi-quantitative-PCR and fluorescence quantitative analysis, we found that Mlo gene showed the highest expression levels in leaves and the lowest in roots after inoculated with powdery mildew pathogen for different days.展开更多
