The isopentenyl transferase gene (ipt) fromAgrobacterium tumefaciens was isolated and introduced, via a disarmed binary vector, into tobacco using theAgrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer system. The expression of theipt gene was monitored by RNA hybridization, western blotting and cytokinin analysis. The addition of auxin to the media rapidly reduced the level of cytokinins in the transgenic tissues and this was associated with a reduction in IPT mRNA and protein levels. It is concluded that the hormone auxin can regulate expression of a gene involved in biosynthesis of the second hormone cytokinin. Although exogenous benzyladenine did not directly affectipt gene expression, it did antagonize the effect of auxin on levels of cytokinins and IPT mRNA and protein. 相似文献

The gene encoding the antifungal protein osmotin is induced by several hormonal and environmental signals. In this study, tissue-specific and inducer-mediated expression of the reporter gene -glucuronidase (uidA) fused to different fragment lengths of the osmotin promoter was evaluated in transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). The region of the promoter between –248 to –108 (Fragment A) was found to be essential and sufficient for inducer (abscisic acid (ABA), C2H4 and NaCl)-mediated expression of the reporter gene. Expression of the reporter gene was developmentally regulated and increased with maturity of leaves, stem and flowers. Expression also was tissue-specific being most highly expressed in epidermis and vascular parenchyma of the stem. The regulators ABA, C2H4 and NaCl exhibited tissue-specific induction of this promoter. The promoter was specifically responsive to C2H4 in flowers at virtually all stages of development, but not responsive in these tissues to ABA or NaCl. Conversely, ABA and NaCl were able to induce reporter gene activity using promoter Fragment A in specific tissues of root where C2H4 was unable to induce activity. Further dissection of the promoter Fragment A into fragments containing either the conserved GCC element (PR); PR/AT; or G/AT sequences, and subsequent testing of these fragments fused to GUS in transgenic plants was performed. These experiments revealed that the promoter fragment containing PR element alone, although required, was barely able to allow responsiveness to C2H4. However, significant C2H4-induced activity was obtained with a promoter fragment containing the AT and PR elements together. 相似文献

Summary Leaves of tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun NN) which are reacting hypersensitively to infection with tobacco mosaic virus contain 10 major pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins which are absent, or present in small amounts in uninfected leaves. We describe here a preparative procedure of purification of the tobacco PR-proteins which involves a combination of conventional and high-performance liquid chromatography. The separation and isolation of the proteins were based on differences in net charge at different pH values, in isoelectric point and in apparent molecular weight. This procedure led to the purification to homogeneity of 8 PR-proteins, as shown by polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of the purified proteins under denaturing and non-denaturing conditions. These were the 3 well-known proteins PR-1a,-1b and-1c, and 5 other major PR-proteins, called PR-2,-N,-O,-P and-Q, according to the nomenclature of Van Loon (39). None of the purified PR-proteins gave a positive Schiff reaction for carbohydrate content. Molecular weight determinations from gel permeation chromatography and from sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-PAGE indicated that all 8 PR-proteins were monomers and that three groups could be distinguished among them. The first group is the PR-1 group containing PR-1a,-1b and-1c (12000 MW), the second consists of PR-P and PR-Q (14000 MW) and the third of PR-2, PR-N and PR-O (25000 MW). In the PR-1 group, PR-1a can be distinguished clearly from the two other members on denaturing slab gels containing both SDS and urea. 相似文献

A protocol has been developed to produce a cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) in tobacco tolerant to the herbicide phosphinothricin
(PPT) by means of in vitro selection. The synthetic CTB subunit gene was altered to modify the codon usage to that of tobacco
plant genes. The gene was then cloned into a plant expression vector and was under the control of the ubiquitin promoter and
transformed into tobacco plants by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Transgenic plantlets were selected in a medium supplemented with 5 mg/L PPT. Polymerase chain reaction
analysis confirmed stable integration of the synthetic CTB gene into a chromosomal DNA. A high level of CTB (1.8% of total
soluble protein) was expressed in transgenic plants, which was 18-fold higher than that under the control of the expressed
CaMV 35S promoter with native gene. The transgenic plants when transferred to a greenhouse proved to be resistant to 2% PPT. 相似文献

ABamHI family of highly repeated DNA sequences of theNicotiana tabacum nuclear genome, denoted as a HRS60-family, was recently isolated. It comprises about 2% of the tobacco nuclear genome. Monomeric
units are 182–184 bp long. Members of the HRS60-family isolated till now are closely related. DNA-DNA hybridization experiments
with DNA of the two tobacco progenitors,N. tomentosiformis andN. sylvestris, revealed that the HRS60-family was present in many copies inN. sylvestris, the amount being about 1.7 times that inN. tabacum. InN. tomentosiformis as well as in some other species of the genusNicotiana, the HRS60-family is present in a small amount. Sequences related to the HRS60-family were revealed using DNA-DNA hybridization
at low stringency. With respect to quantity, the HRS60-family could be considered as a species-specific DNA repeat which may
be a useful genetic marker in genetic manipulations withN. tabacum. 相似文献

Overexpression of antifungal pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins in crop plants has the potential for enhancing resistance
against fungal pathogens. Thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) are one group (PR-5, permatins) of antifungal PR-proteins isolated
from various plants. In the present study, a plasmid containing a cDNA of rice tlp (D34) under the control of the CaMV-35S promoter was introduced into tobacco plants through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system. A considerable overproduction of TLP was observed in transformed tobacco plants by Western
blot analysis. There was a large accumulation of tlp mRNA in transgenic plants as revealed by Northern blot analysis. Southern blot analysis of the DNA from transgenic tobacco
plants confirmed the presence of the rice tlp gene in the genomic DNA of transgenic tobacco plants. Immunoblot analysis of intracellular and extracellular proteins of
transgenic tobacco leaves using a Pinto bean TLP antibody demonstrated that the 23-kDa TLP was secreted into the extracellular
matrix. T2 progeny of regenerated plants transformed with TLP gene were tested for their disease reaction to Alternaria alternata, the brown spot pathogen. Transgenic tobacco plants expressing TLP at high levels showed enhanced tolerance to necrotization
caused by the pathogen.

Summary After castration, the rat dorsolateral prostate M-40 mRNA initially decreased then rebounded to precastrated levels. The cellular site of M-40 expression and its renewed expression after castration was defined by in situ hybridization histochemistry. In situ hybridization with either a 32P-labeled or biotin-labeled M-40 cDNA probe demonstrated that M-40 mRNA levels were higher in the lateral than dorsal prostate. A second androgen regulated gene, RWB, also was highly expressed in the lateral prostate. The biotinylated cDNA probes provided microscopic resolution of the expressing cells, revealing two distinct morphologies of lateral epithelium which expressed both the M-40 and RWB mRNA. These morphologies appeared in ducts which contained either epithelial cell sheets that were highly convoluted or thinner epithelial cells with a minimal degree of convolution. The RWB mRNA decreased in both cell populations in response to androgen withdrawal. The decline and reappearance of M-40 mRNA also appeared in both epithelial cell types. These data demonstrated that after castration the M-40 mRNA initially decreased as expected for an androgen sensitive gene and then progressed to a fully inducible state. The mechanism of this progression remains to be elucidated. 相似文献
