Agronomic Performance of Partly Clubroot-resistant Spring Oilseed Turnip Rape Lines

In field experiment studies that tested the effects of three partly resistant cultivars of spring oilseed turnip rape ( Brassica campestris ), multiplication of clubroot was moderate. When initial soil inoculum levels were 47–72% of infected test plants in the bioassay, only 2.1–10% of the plants were infected after harvest. The yield of partly resistant lines was 5–10% higher compared with that of the susceptible cultivar SW Kulta, which on average yielded 1.73 t/ha. The average disease severity index (DSI) after harvest in these trials was 12.7 for the nonresistant cultivar SW Kulta and ranged between 2.2 and 6.2 for the partly resistant lines. The study demonstrated that in fields where the soil infestation level gives a DSI of less than 10, or when less than 20% of the bait plants are infected in the bioassay, it is possible to avoid the risk of severe yield losses from clubroot infections by integrating a partly resistant cultivar into the crop rotation.

转苏云金杆菌毒蛋白基因玉米植株的获得及其抗虫性分析

玉米 (ZeamaysL .)转化成功与否与基因型密切相关。在转化过程中 ,除少数模式品种能够形成再生频率较高且易转化的Ⅱ型愈伤组织外 ,大多数栽培品种往往只能够形成再生频率较低且不易转化的Ⅰ型愈伤组织。因此探索Ⅰ型愈伤组织的诱导及其转化条件 ,提高转化效率 ,对直接改良玉米优良自交系具有重要意义。应用基因枪转化技术将苏云金杆菌 (Bacillusthuringiensis)cry1Ac3基因导入玉米优良自交系E2 8及 34 0的Ⅰ型胚性愈伤组织中 ,经过膦丝菌素 (PPT)或潮霉素 (HygB)筛选 ,获得了再生植株。经PCR检测、Southernblot分析及Bt毒蛋白ELISA检测证实 ,外源基因已整合到玉米基因组中 ,并已获得表达。抗虫性分析结果表明 ,部分转基因玉米植株对玉米螟虫有较强的抗性。还比较了PPT和HygB两种筛选剂的筛选效果 ,表明PPT筛选的抗性愈伤组织的再生频率要高于HygB筛选的再生频率。

Construction of Stress Responsive Synthetic Promoters and Analysis of Their Activity in Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana

To obtain strong inducible promoters to drive abiotic stress-inducible transgene expression with minimal negative effects, we constructed three artificial synthetic promoters (EKCM, EKCRM, and ECCRM) comprising multiple cis-acting stress-response elements. Each promoter was fused independently to the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene, and GUS expression was analyzed in stable expression systems in Arabidopsis thaliana. T2 transgenic progenies showed integration of the promoter-GUS construct in their genome. RT-PCR assays and histochemical staining analysis showed that GUS expression driven by each promoter increased under desiccation, cold, and high salt conditions. The activity of synthetic promoters, assessed by fluorometric quantitative analysis of GUS enzyme activity, was significantly higher than that of the rd29A promoter under various stress treatments. The most powerful promoter, EKCM, allowed about 1.29-fold in GUS activity relative to the rd29A promoter, on average, under dehydration conditions. All three synthetic promoters could drive stress-inducible GUS expression in different organs of transgenic Arabidopsis. These synthetic promoters represent valuable tools for improving the stress tolerance of crops.     

Evaluation of the Agronomic Performance of Atrazine-Tolerant Transgenic japonica Rice Parental Lines for Utilization in Hybrid Seed Production

Currently, the purity of hybrid seed is a crucial limiting factor when developing hybrid japonica rice (Oryza sativa L.). To chemically control hybrid seed purity, we transferred an improved atrazine chlorohydrolase gene (atzA) from Pseudomonas ADP into hybrid japonica parental lines (two maintainers, one restorer), and Nipponbare, by using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. We subsequently selected several transgenic lines from each genotype by using PCR, RT-PCR, and germination analysis. In the presence of the investigated atrazine concentrations, particularly 150 µM atrazine, almost all of the transgenic lines produced significantly larger seedlings, with similar or higher germination percentages, than did the respective controls. Although the seedlings of transgenic lines were taller and gained more root biomass compared to the respective control plants, their growth was nevertheless inhibited by atrazine treatment compared to that without treatment. When grown in soil containing 2 mg/kg or 5 mg/kg atrazine, the transgenic lines were taller, and had higher total chlorophyll contents than did the respective controls; moreover, three of the strongest transgenic lines completely recovered after 45 days of growth. After treatment with 2 mg/kg or 5 mg/kg of atrazine, the atrazine residue remaining in the soil was 2.9–7.0% or 0.8–8.7% respectively, for transgenic lines, and 44.0–59.2% or 28.1–30.8%, respectively, for control plants. Spraying plants at the vegetative growth stage with 0.15% atrazine effectively killed control plants, but not transgenic lines. Our results indicate that transgenic atzA rice plants show tolerance to atrazine, and may be used as parental lines in future hybrid seed production.

Development of Transgenic Sugarcane Resistant to Sugarcane Borer

Sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis) is a major pest of sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids), across the Americas. The insect is partially controlled by biological and chemical means, but still causes significant economic losses to sugarcane growers and processors. Proteins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis, Bt proteins, have been used to control sugarcane borer in maize (Zea mays) for the past decade. In sugarcane, the expression of individual Bt proteins has been reported several times. However practical use of Bt proteins requires their use as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) system that includes the delivery of high doses of protein and the use of a refuge to slow the evolution of insect resistance to the protein. Here we demonstrate the feasibility of using Bt proteins to protect sugarcane from sugarcane borer in a commercial setting. We have expressed two Bt proteins with differing modes of action (Cry1Ab and Cry2Ab) in commercial sugarcane varieties, demonstrated efficacy against sugarcane borer in the field and describe a strategy for trait deployment in this tropical crop with complex genetics that limits trait introgression by backcrossing.
