We report the isolation and characterization of CjNdly, a homolog in Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) of the FLORICAULA/LEAFY (FLO/LFY) genes. We determined the entire nucleotide sequence of CjNdly, including short 5'- and 3'-untranslated regions. The deduced amino acid sequence was similar to those of the products of the FLO/LFY genes from other species. The nucleotide sequence showed the closest homology to that of the NEEDLY gene in Pinus radiata D. Don. Although no proline-rich region has been reported previously in homologous gene products from gymnosperms, we found such a region at the amino-terminal end of the deduced amino acid sequence encoded by CjNdly. We detected the expression of CjNdly in both reproductive and vegetative tissues and organs of C. japonica. Heterologous expression of CjNdly in transgenic tobacco plants induced precocious flowering of regenerating shoots on agar-solidified medium and flowers with an abnormal phenotype, namely, petal-like stamens. Our findings suggest that the CjNdly gene may have important roles in flower development in Japanese cedar, resembling those of its angiosperm homologs.  相似文献

Dehydrins are one of several proteins that have been specifically associated with qualitative and quantitative changes in cold hardiness. Recent evidence indicates that the regulation of dehydrin genes by low nonfreezing temperature (LT) and short photoperiod (SD) can be complex and deserves more detailed analysis to better understand the role of specific dehydrin genes and proteins in the response of woody plants to environmental stress. We have identified a new peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) dehydrin gene (PpDhn2) and examined the responses of this gene and a previously identified dehydrin (PpDhn1) to SD, LT and water deficit. PpDhn2 was strongly induced by water deficit but not by LT or SD. It was also present in the mature embryos of peach. In contrast, PpDhn1 was induced by water deficit and LT but not by SD. We conducted an in silico analysis of the promoters of these genes and found that the promoter region of PpDhn1 contained two dehydration-responsive-elements (DRE)/C-repeats that are responsive to LT and several abscisic acid (ABA)-response elements (ABREs). In contrast, the promoter region of PpDhn2 contained no LT elements but contained several ABREs and an MYCERD1 motif. Both promoter analyses were consistent with the observed expression patterns. The discrepancy between field-collected samples and growth-chamber experiments in the expression of PpDhn1 in response to SD suggests that SD-induced expression of dehydrin genes is complex and may be the result of several interacting factors.  相似文献

The 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase(NCED)gene is rate-limiting in abscisic acid(ABA) biosynthesis.In this study, an NCED gene, designated FvNCED3(KY008746), was cloned from velvet ash(Fraxinus velutina Torr.) with a RACE method. The full length c DNA of FvNCED3 encodes a 573-amino acid polypeptide.Sequencing analysis showed that the FvNCED3 protein was highly homologous to other NCED proteins. The expression patterns of FvNCED3 in different ash organs were analyzed by real-time PCR which revealed that FvNCED3 expression levels were highest in leaves and lowest in roots. The gene expression patterns of FvNCED3 under abiotic stress indicated that its expression increased under drought, salt and ABA stress and decreased due to high and low temperatures. There were no obvious changes under ultraviolet light. The 1094-bp upstream sequence 5' flank regulation region of the FvNCED3 gene was also cloned from ash using the Genome Walking method. To assess the activity of the FvNCED3 promoter, a p FvNCED3 p::GUS plant expression vector was constructed for tobacco transformation. GUS expression of the FvNCED3 GUS enzyme activity was detected in almost all transgenic tobacco tissues, especially in the young leaves,stigma, anther, ovule and ovary. After treating the transgenic tobacco with NaCl and placing it under drought stress, GUS staining of tobacco leaves increased compared with that under normal growth conditions. This result indicates that gene expression driven by the FvNCED3 promoter can be induced by salt and drought stress.  相似文献

Houz.)中PeCCR基因的表达情况进行分析,并对PeCCR基因功能进行研究,以期为利用CCR基因在竹子中开展基因工程育种提供参考依据。[方法]采用实时定量PCR(qRT-PCR)方法对PeCCR基因在毛竹不同组织以及不同高度笋中的表达进行了分析,采用RT-PCR方法克隆了PeCCR基因的编码区,构建了基因过量表达载体,采用蘸花法转化拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana L.),采用溴乙酰法测定转基因植株茎木质素的含量。[结果]qRT-PCR结果表明:在毛竹实生苗根中PeCCR的表达量最高,其次是笋中,而未展开叶中最低;在野外随着笋高度的增加,木质化程度加强,PeCCR基因的表达量呈上升趋势,在6.7 m笋中达到最高。克隆获得PeCCR编码区长度为1 026 bp,编码一个341 aa的蛋白,具有家族蛋白特有的保守结构域"NWYCYGK"。与野生型拟南芥相比,转PeCCR基因植株叶片明显增大,且抽苔时间提前3~4 d。茎横切的组织化学染色观察发现:转基因植株茎的木质部和束间纤维组织染色面积均大于野生型;木质素含量测定表明,2个过表达PeCCR1转基因株系中的木质素含量均明显高于野生型,分别为野生型对照的123.1%和116.7%。[结论]PeCCR基因在毛竹不同组织的表达存在差异,在笋中随高度增加其表达量上调。过量表达PeCCR促进了转基因拟南芥植株的生长发育,提高了木质素含量。  相似文献

利用农杆菌介导法获得转codA基因麻竹再生植株的研究   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
温度是影响植物生存和生长发育的基本环境因子之一。大多数植物对低温等都是高度敏感的,低温伤害现象尤为突出,几乎涉及所有的经济植物。因此,改善植物的抗低温冻害的胁迫能力,可以显著提高植物的生长范围、增加产量。codA基因可以增加植物对低温胁迫的耐受能力,而Rd29A是一种胁迫诱导特异表达启动子,胁迫条件可以快速诱导基因表达,也可以减少由于转基因过量表达带来的不利影响。研究以麻竹花药离体培养的愈伤组织为材料,采用农杆菌介导法,探讨了影响麻竹愈伤组织遗传转化效率的主要因子。结果表明,潮霉素的最佳筛选浓度是25 mg.L-1,预培养时间为3 d,侵染时间为20 min,共培养时间为3 d,乙酰丁香酮的浓度控制在100 mg.L-1时可以有效的提高遗传转化效率。在此基础上对获得的转基因植株进行分子检测,初步表明外源基因codA已经整合到麻竹基因组中。  相似文献

Transgenic sterility is a desirable trait for containment of many kinds of transgenes and exotic species. Genetically engineered floral sterility can be imparted by expression of a cytotoxin under the control of a predominantly floral-tissue-specific promoter. However, many otherwise desirable floral promoters impart substantial non-floral expression, which can impair plant health or make it impossible to regenerate transgenic plants. We are therefore developing a floral sterility system that is capable of attenuating undesired background vegetative expression. As a first step towards this goal, we compared the vegetative expression properties of the promoter of the poplar (Populus trichocarpa Torr. & Gray) homolog of the floral homeotic gene LEAFY (PTLF), which could be used to impart male and female flower sterility, to that of three candidate attenuator-gene promoters: the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S basal promoter, the CaMV 35S basal promoter fused to the TMV omega element and the nopaline synthase (NOS) promoter. The promoters were evaluated via promoter::GUS gene fusions in a transgenic poplar hybrid (Populus tremula L. x P. alba L.) by both histochemical and fluorometric GUS assays. In leaves, the NOS promoter conveyed the highest activity and had a mean expression level 5-fold higher than PTLF, whereas the CaMV 35S basal promoter fused to the omega element and the CaMV 35S basal promoter alone directed mean expression levels that were 0.5x and 0.35x that of PTLF, respectively. Differential expression in shoots, leaves, stems and roots was observed only for the NOS and PTLF promoters. Strongest expression was observed in roots for the NOS promoter, whereas the PTLF promoter directed highest expression in shoots. The NOS promoter appears best suited to counteract vegetative expression of a cytotoxin driven by the PTLF promoter where 1:1 toxin:attenuator expression is required.  相似文献

The effects of Agrobacterium pRiA4 rol and aux genes, controlled by their endogenous promoters, on tree growth and wood anatomy and chemistry were studied in 5- and 7-year-old silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) plants. Southern hybridization confirmed the following rol and aux gene combinations: control plants (no genes transferred); plants with rolC and rolD genes; plants with rolA, rolB, rolC and rolD genes; and plants with rolA, rolB, rolC, rolD, aux1 and aux2 genes. Transgene mRNA was most abundant in phloem/cambium samples and in the developing xylem, whereas no expression was detected in leaves. Plants with rolC and rolD genes or with all the rol genes were significantly shorter and had smaller leaves and a more bushy growth habit than control plants or plants with both aux and rol genes. Morphological observations and wood chemistry analyses revealed that plants with rol genes produced less xylem and broke bud later than control plants or plants with both aux and rol genes. Tension wood was detected in both control and transgenic plants irrespective of their gene combination, probably as a result of greenhouse cultivation. Xylem fibers were shorter in transgenic plants than in control plants, and plants with all the rol genes were characterized by shorter vessels compared with the control plants and a smaller proportional area of vessels compared with the other groups. In addition, silver birch plants with all the rol genes had approximately a 3.3% lower concentration of total acid soluble carbohydrates than control plants. We conclude that the rolC and rolD genes induced the typical "rol-phenotype," and that this was emphasized by concomitant expression of the rolA and rolB genes and alleviated by the presence of aux1 and aux2 genes. We observed consistent phenotypic effects of rol and aux genes on the morphology, anatomy and cell wall chemistry of the plants.  相似文献

杨树因伤诱导型启动子的克隆及功能分析   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
李强 《林业科学》1999,35(4):111-19
机械损伤或病虫害侵扰引起植物一系列防御相关基因的激活,其中一些是因伤诱导表达的.Bradshaw等1989年报道了杨树Win3基因家族中的一员,其编码产物类似于白薯和豆类胰蛋白酶抑制剂,并且是因伤诱导表达的。为了更全面的了解这一基因启动子在因伤介导表达中的作用,探讨其在基因工程用于控制外源基因表达的可能性,本文分别从欧洲黑杨(P.nigra)和美洲黑杨(P.deltoides)中扩增出win3基因启动子WINP(705bp)和WIDP(791bp).这两个启动子与来自大肠杆菌的GUS基因融合,通过根癌农杆菌Ti质粒转化系统引入烟草中.证实了WINP和WIDP控制的GUS基因的表达不仅在损伤部位,而且具有系统的因伤诱导效应.对8株转基因烟草的组织化学分析表明,其表达模式与以前的报道一致。无论是在受损伤组织还是完整组织中,WINP的伤诱导活性总比WIDP高。这两个启动子需要进一步改造以增强其活性。  相似文献

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) enable organisms to survive under cold conditions, and have great potential in improving cold tolerance of cold-sensitive plants, In order to determine whether expression of the carrot 36 kD antifreeze protein gene confers improved cold-resistant properties to plant tissues, we tried to obtain transgenic tobacco plants which expressed the antifreeze protein. Cold, salt, and drought induced promoter Prd29A was cloned using PCR from Arabidopsis. Two plant expression vectors based on pBI121 were constructed with CaMV35S:AFP and Prd29A:AFP. Tobacco plantlets were transformed by Agrobacterium-medicated transformation. PCR and Southern blotting demonstrated that the carrot 36 kD afp gene was successfully integrated into the genomes of transformed plantlets. The expression of the afp gene in transgenic plants led to improved tolerance to cold stress. However, the use of the strong constitutive 35S cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) promoter to drive expression of afp also resulted in growth retardation under normal growing conditions. In contrast, the expression of afp driven by the stress-inducible Prd29A promoter from Arabidopsis gave rise to minimal effects on plant growth while providing an increased tolerance to cold stress condition (2℃). The results demonstrated the prospect of using Prd29A-AFP transgenic plants in cold-stressed conditions that will in turn benefit agriculture.  相似文献

GH3 genes related to the auxin-inducible Glycine max (L.) Merr. GmGH3 gene encode enzymes that conjugate amino acids to auxin. To investigate the role of GH3 enzymes in stress responses and normal wood development, Populus x canescens (Ait.) was transformed with the promoter-reporter construct GH3::GUS containing a GH3 promoter and the 5' UTR from soybean. beta-Glucuronidase (GUS) activity was present in the vascular tissues of leaves and in developing lateral roots and was inducible in silent tissues by external auxin application. A decrease in GUS activity from the stem apex to the bottom corresponded to decreases in auxin concentrations in these tissues. High auxin concentration and high GH3::GUS activity were present in the pith tissue, which may provide storage for auxin compounds. GH3 reporter was active in ray cells, paratracheal parenchyma cells, maturing vessels and in cells surrounding maturing phloem fibers but not in the cambium and immature phloem, despite high auxin concentrations in the latter tissues. However, the GH3 promoter in these tissues became active when the plants were exposed to abiotic stresses, like bending or salinity, causing changes in wood anatomy. We suggest that adjustment of the internal auxin balance in wood in response to environmental cues involves GH3 auxin conjugate synthases.  相似文献

Both cDNA and DNA clones of PtDof1 (GenBank Accession No. FJ402844 and FJ402845) were isolated from plants grown in tissue culture of Populus tomentosa. The DNA sequence is 1597 bp including two exons and one intron. The cDNA is 969 bp in length with a 765 bp open reading frame which is capable of encoding 255 amino acids. The deduced amino acids sequence of the PtDof1 protein shares 65%, 56% and 55% identity with Vitis vinifera (CAO48618), Nicotiana tabacum (CAA08755) and Glycine max (ABI16022) Dof protein by blast analysis in GenBank. Phylogenic analysis suggests PtDof1 gene could belong to the Dof gene family. PtDof1 protein contains an unusual conserved single zinc finger with the pattern of C-X2-C-X21-C-X2-C, which may play a functional role in tissue-specific expression and possibly the auxin response of endogenous plant genes.  相似文献

Catalpa fargesii is an important economic tree species used for furniture and timber production because of its high density and hardness.Its survival and growth are severely affected and primarily limited by drought stress.Thus,to better understand the mechanism of drought resistance in C.fargesii,we used qRT-PCR to reveal significantly different expression of three plasma membrane intrinsic protein genes:CfPIPl-1,CfPIP1-2 and CfPIP1-4.We then cloned their full-length cDNA sequences and characterized the encoded proteins.We analyzed the genes phylogenetically and predicted conserved motifs,domains,and secondary and tertiary structures.To verify the function of the CfPIP1 genes further,we ectopically expressed CfPIP1 transgenes in Arabidopsis thaliana.The results showed that CfPIP1-1,CfPIP1-2 and CfPIP1-4 had several characteristics of aquaporins.The transgenic plants grew better than the WT plants did under drought stress,and overexpression of the CfPIP1 genes increased the plant water content and resistance to drought.Thus,CfPIP1-1,CfPIP1-2 and CfPIP1-4 of C.fargesii play key roles in regulating the intracellular and extracellular water balance and in mediating the plant response to drought.  相似文献
