Summary Indica-type rice provides the staple food for two billion people in Third World countries. Several problems involved in the stable and sustained production of high quality food cannot be solved by traditional breeding. Methods have been established for gene transfer to Indica rice breeding lines to study possible contributions from genetic engineering. Experiments are in progress on the development of transgenic resistance towards Yellow Stem Borer, resistance towards Rice Tungro Virus, accumulation of provitamin A in the endosperm, increase of essential amino acids in the endosperm such as lysine, cysteine and methionine and resistance towards fungal pests such as Rice Blast and Sheath Blight. Transgenic clones from Indica rice breeding lines have been recovered from several of the approaches mentioned, some of which have been regenerated to plants.  相似文献

Summary The use of transgenic plants in breeding makes it possible to utilise a wide variety of novel genes from unrelated plants, microbes and animals. Because of the diversity of genes that have now become available for modifying crop plants, it is agreed internationally that there should be a risk assessment before transgenic plants are grown outside the laboratory or glasshouse. Various aspects are considered in a risk assessment including any non-target effects of the transgene, changes in plant persistence and invasiveness, and the possibility of movement of the transgenes to wild populations by cross pollination. It is generally argued that the need for risk assessment and regulation should be determined by an analysis of certain products of transformation, rather than a risk assessment being required for all plants modified by the process of transformation. A possible consequence of considering the product only, however, could be that some of the products of conventional breeding may need to be assessed by the risk assessment procedures developed for transgenic plants. There are discussions with interest groups on the use of transgenic plants in the environment and in food products. It is likely that some form of labelling will be required for certain foods containing ethically-sensitive genes. There is little doubt that transgenic plants will make a significant contribution to agriculture in the coming decades. Developments in the patenting of genes, release regulations, food labelling, consumer reaction etc., will influence the rate of progress and should be considered in the strategic planning of plant breeding programmes.  相似文献

Transgene technology provides a powerful tool for developing traits that are otherwise difficult to achieve through conventional breeding. In order to effectively apply the technology to breeding, we need to understand how transgenes behave in plants. Transgenes may or may not follow Mendelian segregation; their expression can be significantly affected by integration positions and structures of the transgenic DNA in host genomes; transgenes may become unstable over generations, genetic background sand environmental conditions; and they may have significantly negative impact on expression of endogenous genes. If not well understood, the sehurdles could become significant barriers in transgenic breeding. This paper reviews some genetic issues and pitfalls that are often encountered in transgenic breeding. Because of the necessity of being brief, transgene expression, silencing, and breeding are the three areas of focuses in this discussion. While molecular mechanisms underlying many of the transgenic phenomena have not been completely understood, some practical ‘rules’ are now available for creating, evaluating and selecting desirable transgenic transformants. It can be certain that with more transgenic plants generated and characterized our knowledge of transgene genetics at both molecular and plant levels will continue to accumulate.

Viral diseases of sweet potato are very prevalent and often seriously damaging to the plants. In particular, the severe strain of the sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV‐S) causes ‘obizyo‐sohi’ disease in Japan. In order to confer viral resistance against SPFMV using current biotechnology, a transgenic sweet potato has been produced, introducing hygromycin‐resistant (hpt) and SPFMV‐S coat protein (CP) genes, which have shown a significant resistance to SPFMV‐S. In the breeding programme, it is important to confirm that the viral resistance conferred in T0 plants can be inherited by their progeny. In the present study, progeny were obtained from crosses between the transgenic T0 and a non‐transgenic variety of sweet potato. The results showed that the CP gene was inherited by the next generation and that the stability of viral resistance was also confirmed. Thus, this production system for the virus‐resistant transgenic sweet potato is useful in practical breeding.  相似文献

The Experimental and Commercial Release of Transgenic Crop Plants   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
With advances in recombinant DNA methods and transformation procedures, it is possible to transfer genes into crop plants from unrelated plants, microbes and animals. Many of the modifications being carried out, or envisaged, are for disease and pest resistance, product quality and tolerance to environmental stress, but there are additional opportunities to modify crops to give specialized products for industrial or pharmaceutical use. Some of the characteristics of transgenic plants are considered, including: transgene copy number, position, expression, stability, pleiotropy, selectable marker genes and somaclonal variation. There have been several hundreds of field trials with transgenic plants, and the first transgenic varieties are likely to be approved for commercial production in 1993. Before releasing transgenic plants, it is necessary to carry out a risk assessment to determine whether the transgenic variety will behave differently from a conventionally bred variety. Assessment procedures are being harmonized internationally by various organizations. There is a growing commitment to apply these genetic modification methods to crops in developing countries, as genes relevant to their crops and environments become available.  相似文献

棉花是重要的经济作物,实现既抗病又早熟是棉花重要的育种目标,但棉花抗病与早熟基因之间的关联性研究报道甚少。本课题组前期鉴定到一个响应黄萎病菌诱导的丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶基因GbSTK,可以提高转基因拟南芥的黄萎病抗性。本研究发现多个抗病棉花品种中STK基因的表达量显著高于感病对照品种H208。在抗病品种农大601中沉默STK基因,沉默植株在接菌后20d,其黄萎病抗性显著降低,病情指数由27.5(耐病)升高到63.2(感病),表明该基因正向调控棉花黄萎病抗性。对转GbSTK基因拟南芥表型鉴定发现,其开花时莲座叶片数平均为7.5个,显著低于空载体对照植株(11.9个),转基因植株开花时间较对照平均提早5~7 d。进一步对拟南芥开花途径标志基因FT、SOC1和LFY的转录水平检测发现,转基因不同株系中FT和SOC1的表达水平显著高于对照植株,而LFY基因的表达受影响较小,表明STK基因可以影响开花关键基因FT和SOC1的表达,进而调控植株提早开花。基于酵母双杂交互作蛋白筛选试验,初步获得30个与GbSTK具有互作关系的候选蛋白,为进一步揭示GbSTK的分子调控网络奠定了基础。本研究首次鉴定出可同时提高黄萎病抗性和提早开花的一个功能基因,为棉花抗病早熟遗传改良提供了参考依据。  相似文献

The commercial and economic value of genetically modified crops is determined by a predictable, consistent and stable transmission and expression of the transgenes in successive generations. No gene inactivation is expected after selfings or crosses with non-transformed plants of homozygous transgenic oilseed rape plants if the expression of the transgene in homozygous or hemizygous nature in such plants is stable. The segregation ratios of phosphinothricin (PPT) tolerance in successive generations of selfings and mutual crosses of a few independent transgenic PPT-tolerant oilseed rape plants indicated a dominant, monogenic inheritance. In within-variety and between-variety crosses no transgene inactivation was observed. However, after selfings and backcrosses with non-transgenic oilseed rape infrequent loss of the expression of the PPT tolerance transgene was observed independent from its homozygous or hemizygous nature. Molecular analysis of PPT-susceptible plants showed that the loss of expression was due to gene inactivation and not to the absence of the transgene. Methylation and co-suppression are mechanisms that might cause reduced or even loss of expression of the transgene in later generations. The implications of this observation for seed multiplication of varieties and breeding activities with transgenic oilseed rape are discussed. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Cotton is an important cash crop, and achieving disease resistance as well as early maturity is an important breeding goal. However, the molecular relationship between disease resistance and early maturity of cotton is still a research gap. In previous study, we identified a GbSTK gene response to V. dahliae that could enhance Verticillium wilt resistance in transgenic Arabidopsis. In this study, we found that GbSTK was more highly expressed in resistance and/or tolerant varieties than in susceptible varieties. Knocking down of GbSTK expression in Nongda 601 showed that the silenced plants displayed serious disease symptoms, with disease index from 27.5 (tolerant) to 63.2 (susceptible), suggesting that GbSTK positively regulates cotton Verticillium wilt resistance. More interesting, we found that GbSTK could promote the development of Arabidopsis. At the flowering time point, the average number of rosette leaves in transgenic lines was 7.5, significantly less than the mock plants, and the transgenic plants bloomed five to seven days earlier than the control. The FT and SOC1 gene, regarded as marker genes in Arabidopsis flowering signaling pathway, maintained higher expression level in transgenic lines than in the mock, indicating that GbSTK could accelerate flowering via regulating FT and SOC1 gene expression. We also obtained 30 candidate proteins that could interacted with GbSTK via yeast double hybrid test, which helped to further revealing the molecular regulatory network of GbSTK. Taken together, we first identified a functional gene that could improve disease resistance and early flowering, which would provide a reference for genetic improvement of cotton disease resistant and early maturity.  相似文献

Phytohormones, a group of structurally unrelated small molecules are plant-signalling compounds that trigger induced resistance against certain pathogens and herbivores. The hormones jasmonic acid (JA), ABA, salicilic acid (SA) and ethylene (ET) are known to play major roles in regulating plant defence responses. In order to determine the changes in growth and in the chlorophyll content induced by the exogenous application of these elicitors, a set of DH lines of the Oregon-Wolfe Barley mapping population, previously screened to locate aphid resistant genes, was investigated. The aim of the current research was to map the induced defence genes and to reveal the relationship with aphid resistance. There were highly significant differences between controls and hormone treated plants in the aerial fresh and dry weights (AFW, ADW), the foliar area (FA) and the root dry weight (RDW). More than 15 JA and ET-induced lines exceeded the chlorophyll (Ch) values of their controls. Most of the plant traits were associated with the same genetic windows on chromosomes 3H, 5H and 7H in the controls and hormone treated plants. QTL(s) identified on chromosome 3H and 5H explained most of the variation of AFW, ADW, FA and RDW of controls and treated plants. QTL(s) located on chromosome 5H were associated with the variation of chlorophyll contents on JA-treated plants. The Ch in ET and ABA-treated plants was associated with two different regions on chromosome 7H. One of the latter genetic windows also explained the variation of RDW of ET- and ABA-treated plants. A sequence homology search was performed to derive the putative function of the genes linked to the QTLs. Several QTLs were identified located close to aphid resistance genes previously mapped. This is the first report of genes associated with hormone response in barley that could be involved with insect resistance. Those recombinant lines carrying the appropriate alleles could be useful for breeding barley to enlarge the genetic base of defence against stress.  相似文献

Specialised plant pathogens are in many ways adapted to exploit their host plants. Infective propagules should reach the appropriate plant tissue, gain access to the tissue and negate or suppress various kinds of constitutive and inducible resistance mechanisms. The resistance type most frequently deployed in plant breeding is the race-specific resistance, where a hypersensitive response of plant tissue is elicited by an avirulence factor produced by the pathogen. The great disadvantage of this type of resistance is, that it is often ephemeral. Detailed screening of germplasm may result in the discovery of alternative defence mechanisms not associated with hypersensitivity, that may be durable. Avoidance mechanisms may reduce the chance of infection. Upright plant habit has been reported to decrease spore deposition in cereals. Crop architecture may also affect aspects such as humidity and aeration in the crop, and hence the chances for successful infection by pathogen propagules. Other examples of avoidance are leaf surface properties that interfere with leaf wettability, germ tube orientation and finding of stomata to enter the leaf. Stomata in some accessions of Hordeum chilense are excessively covered by cuticular wax that prevent rust fungal germ tubes from perceiving the stomata, resulting in failure of penetration of the pathogen into the leaf. There is evidence that incompatible host species, biotrophic pathogenic fungi induce basic compatibility by suppressing defence mechanisms. Failure of this induction results in abortion of the infection attempt. Several cases of apparently durable resistance are discussed that are based on failure of haustorium formation, and are not associated with hypersensitivity. They may represent cases where the pathogen has problems in establishing basic compatibility. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) is the causal agent of bean golden mosaic of common beans. A transgenic bean line that has been developed based on RNA interference to silence the BGMV rep gene showed immunity to the virus. Crosses were done between the transgenic line and six bean cultivars followed by four backcrosses to the commercial cultivars ‘Pérola’ and ‘BRS Pontal’. The transgene locus was consistently inherited from the crosses analysed in a Mendelian fashion in the segregating populations. The disease resistance reaction co‐inherited with the transgene. Nevertheless, the expression of disease resistance displayed a dosage effect phenomenon in the F1 generation. The analysis of the homozygous near‐isogenic lines in field conditions, under high BGMV disease incidence, indicated that the transgenic lines were completely resistant. These results show the strength of the disease resistance obtained, the stability of the trait across generations and its usefulness in the management of a disease for which there is no reported Phaseolus germplasm with immunity.  相似文献

Several approaches are available to achieve multi-transgene-stacking in plants for the introduction of complex or multiple traits. We used co-transformation with multiple plasmids using particle bombardment and hybridization of plants carrying separate transgenes in wheat. In the co-transformation approach, four constructs containing the defence genes Pvpgip2, Acpmei, Taxi-III or Xip-III and the bar gene were co-bombarded into immature embryos of durum or common wheat. The four transgenes integrated into the wheat genome at co-transformation frequencies of 58 and 27 % in durum and common wheat, respectively. Segregation analysis of the T1 and T2 generations showed that 45–90 % of the progeny inherited all four transgenes together in both durum and common wheat. In the hybridization approach, pyramiding of Pvpgip2, Acpmei and Taxi-III was achieved by crossing durum wheat plants containing the Pvpgip2 and Acpmei transgenes with transgenic plants carrying Taxi-III. Segregation analysis showed that only 4.5 % of the progeny inherited all four transgenes together, including the bar gene. Co-expression analyses of Pvpgip2, Acpmei and Taxi-III or Xip-III showed loss of mRNA or protein activity in the progenies of both transgenic and hybrid wheat lines. Particle bombardment yielded progenies with either tightly linked transgenes or with different transgene combinations that could be useful in research applications. However, its efficiency was constrained by the occurrence of transgene silencing.  相似文献

Potato virus Y (PVY) and Potato mop-top virus (PMTV) are viruses whose geographical distribution is expanding and economic losses are increasing, in contrast to most of other viruses infecting potato crops. Most potato cultivars lack broad-spectrum resistance to the new, genetically complex strains of PVY, and no efficient resistance to PMTV is known in potato. Control of the vectors of these viruses is not an efficient or possible strategy to prevent infections. Studies on molecular virus-host interactions can discover plant genes that are important to viral infection or antiviral defence. Both types of genes may be utilized in resistance breeding, which is discussed in this paper. The advanced gene technologies provide means to fortify potato cultivars with effective virus resistance genes or mutated, non-functional host factors that interfere with virus infection.  相似文献
