Major progress has been made over the last few years in the identification and regulation of tomato ripening genes. At least 25 genes showing elevated expression during ripening have been cloned and several, including polygalacturonase, which modifies fruit textures, have been shown to be ripening-specific. In addition, genes have been cloned for ACC synthase and ACC oxidase, which control the synthesis of ethylene, which plays a critical role in ripening. Inhibition of expression of polygalacturonase, pectinesterase, ACC synthase, ACC oxidase and phytoene synthase has been achieved in transgenic plants, using antisense technology. The expression of several genes has also been inhibited by sense gene suppression. New traits caused by these transgenes are stably inherited. Antisense tomatoes with reduced polygalacturonase have improved textural qualities which are being exploited commercially for the fresh and processed markets. Overexpression of phytoene synthase has been shown to restore carotenoid production in the yellow flesh mutant and can be used to enhance colour in other cultivars. Antisense fruit in which ACC synthase or ACC oxidase are inhibited show slower ripening and reduced over-ripening. ACC oxidase antisense genes have also been shown to delay leaf senescence. It is to be expected that further genes determining other quality traits will be identified and manipulated soon.  相似文献

Summary The common cultivated tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) provides a major focus for improvement of crop quality through genetic engineering. Identification of ripening-related cDNAs has enabled the modification of specific aspects of ripening by manipulating gene expression in transgenic plants. By utilizing antisense RNA to modify expression of ripening genes, we have inhibited the production of the cell wall-metabolising enzymes polygalacturonase and pectinesterase and created transgenic plants that contain, effectively, single, targeted mutations affecting these genes. Furthermore, this approach has been used with previously unidentified cDNA clones to enable both functional identification and manipulation of genes involved in ethylene production (ACC oxidase) and carotenoid biosynthesis (phytoene synthase). The use of antisense RNA targeted to specific genes to alter ripening phenotypes and improve commercial utility of fruit by affecting shelf-life, processing characteristics and nutritional content is discussed.We have used the extreme ripening-impaired mutant, ripening inhibitor (rin) to identify additional genes implicated in the ripening process. This approach has resulted in the cloning of several novel ripening-related mRNAs which are now being studied by antisense experiments. This may enable identification and manipulation of additional genes involved in processes such as softening, flavour and aroma generation and susceptibility to pathogens.Abbreviations ACC 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid - PE pectinesterase - PG polygalacturonase - SAM S-adenosyl methionine - SARs scaffold attachment regions  相似文献

The specific ACC oxidase 1 gene fragment of tomato was cloned and prepared for a probe which was used to hybridize with total RNAs that were extracted from the materials treated with ethylene and different environmental stresses, such as drought, water recovery, flood, wound and temperature, respectively. Northern blot analysis indicated that the expression of LeACO1 was restrained by drought, while strongly induced by water recovery and exogenous ethylene. After treated by flood stress, the expression level of I_eACO1 in leaves had no distinctively changes, while its expression level in stems was rapidly increased. Moreover, the expression of LeACO1 in tomato stems could be induced at the temperature of 37 degree. In addition, wounding had no influence on the expression of LeACO1.  相似文献

Flowers of Dendrobium cv. Kenny were hand-pollinated using pollinia from cv. Sakura. This resulted in a large increase in flower ethylene emission and rapid perianth (tepal) senescence. The increase in flower ethylene emission was correlated in time with an increase in ethylene emitted by the column (the fused stigma, style and stamens) plus the ovary. No ethylene emission was observed from perianth parts that were isolated at various periods after pollination. The increased ethylene emission by the column plus ovary was correlated with an increase in ACC synthase and ACC oxidase activity in these flower parts. The perianth parts, in contrast, only showed an increase in ACC oxidase activity, following pollination. The data show that pollination-induced early perianth senescence in Dendrobium is mediated by increased ethylene biosynthesis by the column + ovary, and not due to increased ethylene biosynthesis in the perianth parts. Apparently, ethylene synthesized in the gynoecium diffuses to the perianth parts where it induces senescence. The data are very similar to those found previously in pollinated Phaleanopsis orchids and in emasculated Cymbidium orchids, with the exception that ethylene was emitted from the tepals of these two orchids and not from Dendrobium.  相似文献

Fruit of cv. Gros Michel banana were treated with 1-MCP (1000 nL L−1 for 4 h at 25 °C) and then packed in non-perforated polyethylene (PE) bags for modified atmosphere storage (MAP). The bags were placed in corrugated cardboard boxes and stored at 14 °C. Fruit were removed from cool storage and ripened at room temperature using ethephon. The length of storage life was determined by the change in peel color to yellow, after this ethephon treatment. Fruit treated with 1-MCP + MAP had a storage life of 100 days. The storage life of control fruit (no 1-MCP and no MAP) was 20 days. Fruit held in PE bags without 1-MCP treatment had a 40 day storage life, and the same was found in fruit treated with 1-MCP but without PE bags. 1-MCP is an inhibitor of ethylene action, but also inhibited ethylene production, mainly through inhibition of ACC oxidase activity in the peel. MAP inhibited ethylene production mainly through inhibition of ACC oxidase, both in the peel and pulp. The combination of 1-MCP treatment and MAP storage resulted in much lower ethylene production due to inhibition of both ACC synthase and ACC oxidase activity.  相似文献

Elongation growth is a typical feature of deepwater rice plants in response to submergence. The growth phenomenon is known to be induced by hypoxia, which results in the expression of genes implicated in ethylene biosynthesis. Ethylene is considered to trigger the growth response as it accumulates in the submerged tissues and submergence enhances the expression of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase. However, ACC concentration in rice plants increases much faster after submergence than the activity of the ACC synthase genes studied previously. Here, we studied the expression characteristics of the fifth member of this gene family, OS-ACS5, and show that submergence induces the messenger concentration of this gene before the accumulation of ACC could be observed. OS-ACS5 may play a fundamental role in the growth-promoting increase in ethylene biosynthesis during the first hours of submergence in deepwater rice. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

转codA基因提高番茄植株的耐热性   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
以野生型番茄(cv. Moneymaker)和转codA番茄为材料,用不同温度(25、30、35、40、45和50℃)分别处理2 h,测定叶片净光合速率(Pn)、PSII最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)、过氧化氢(H2O2)含量、丙二醛(MDA)含量、相对电导率(REC)和抗氧化酶活性等生理指标;42℃高温处理0、3和6 h后,检测热响应基因的表达量以及D1蛋白的含量,研究高温胁迫对上述参数的影响,探讨转codA基因提高番茄叶片耐热性的机制。。结果表明,高温胁迫下,转codA基因番茄叶片Pn和Fv/Fm的抑制程度明显低于野生型,H2O2、MDA的积累量以及REC均低于野生型,而且明显增强了过氧化氢酶(CAT)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)的活性。此外,转codA基因番茄叶片中抗氧化酶基因和热胁迫基因的表达水平均高于野生型,而D1蛋白的降解水平低于野生型。转codA基因番茄体内合成的甜菜碱提高了转基因番茄的耐热性,这与提高和维持较高的抗氧化酶活性、促进热激响应基因的表达及减缓D1蛋白的降解等有关。  相似文献

Premature softening and tissue senescence occur in kiwifruit infected with Botrytis cinerea. While ethylene production is enhanced in infected fruit and B. cinerea produces ethylene on defined media in vitro the source of ethylene in this pathosystem is unclear. Ethylene production by B. cinerea was enhanced when methionine or ∝-keto-methylthiobutyric acid (KMBA) was added to a defined (modified Pratts) medium. Although 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) did not stimulate ethylene production, ∝-aminooxyacetic acid (AOA) was inhibitory suggesting a role for a pyridoxal phosphate mediated enzyme reaction down stream from the methionine/KMBA stimulated ethylene biosynthetic pathway. Cobalt chloride (Co2+) was inhibitory, but after a 4-d lag period ethylene production from B. cinerea cultures containing methionine and Co2+ reached the same level as those without Co2+. [U 14C] methionine was converted to 14C-ethylene with high efficiency indicating that it is a direct precursor, while [2,3 14C]-ACC did not yield radioactively labelled ethylene. These results suggest that the ethylene biosynthetic pathway in B. cinerea does not involve ACC as a precursor and that the enzyme responsible for synthesising ethylene is similar to, but different from, ACC oxidase from higher plants. The ethylene biosynthetic pathway in B. cinerea is yet to be determined.  相似文献

Summary Simultaneous expression of a tobacco class I chitinase and a class I -1,3-glucanase gene in tomato resulted in increased fungal resistance, whereas transgenic tomato plants expressing either one of these genes were not protected against fungal infection. After infection with Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici, a 36% to 58% reduction in disease severity was observed in resistant tomato lines. Two transgenic lines largely recovered from the initial infection by the time wild-type tomato plants had died.The overall results are consistent with the observation that class I chitinases and class I -1,3-glucanases synergistically inhibit the growth of fungi in vitro and provide the first experimental support to the hypothesis that such synergy can contribute to enhanced fungal resistance in planta.  相似文献

Transgenic Korean rice plants containing the cry1Ab gene were developed for resistance against yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas, YSB). More than 100 independent transgenic lines from three Korean varieties (P-I, P-II and P-III) were generated. The amount of Cry1Ab in transgenic T0 plants was as high as 2.88% of total soluble proteins. These levels were sufficient to cause 100% mortality of YSB larvae. The majority of T1 transgenic lines originated from the varieties P-I and P-II followed a Mendelian fashion of segregation. Deviation from the expected segregation ratio was observed in a small number of the transgenic lines of P-I and P-II origins. However, this deviation was primarily observed in the P-III originated lines. Segregation analysis of the T1 generation indicated that 1–3 copies of the cry1Ab gene were integrated into the genome of the majority of the transgenic lines originating from varieties P-I and P-II. Stunted and semi-fertile mutants were observed in some transgenic lines. These aberrations were either independent or closely linked to the introduced cry1Ab gene loci in different transgenic lines. Reduction in GUS expression levels and loss of toxicity against YSB larvae were found in some transgenic lines. The transgenic T3 and T4 lines causing 100% mortality of third instar YSB larvae in the lab were completely protected in the field. Analysis of important yield components on nine selected transgenic lines indicated that stem length, panicle length, grain number per panicle, and seed setting rates were reduced in transgenic plants compared to those in non-transgenic parental rice lines. Number of panicles per cluster, however, was significantly higher in transgenic plants. The numerical value of the average yield was in general greater in the controls than in all the transgenic lines, indicating some ‘yield drag’. Since some selected lines were highly resistant to the YSB with good yielding potential, they offer effective potential for use in insect resistance management programs.  相似文献

Summary For the past 10 years, the Andean-type Phaseolus vulgaris cultivar Kranskop has played an important role in South African bean production and breeding. Kranskop shares an ancestor with the internationally important Andean-type rust differential cultivar Redlands Pioneer. The Ur-13 gene in Kranskop and Redlands Pioneer gives protection to numerous internationally reported races of Uromyces appendiculatus and it is imperative to retain this gene in local breeding programmes.In this study, three co-dominant SCAR markers (SEAACMACC430/405, SEACAMCTT310/288 and SEAAGMCGT436 Hha I186/250) were used to trace the origin of Ur-13, and its presence in 71 germplasm accessions, including the international rust differential lines and additional sources of already characterized genes, as well as 78 breeding lines.Each marker was present in approximately 30% of the accessions tested. Only accessions belonging to the Kranskop or Redlands groups contained all three markers. Contrary to expectations, the first two markers, as well as Ur-13, appeared to have originated from a Middle-American-type parent of the Redlands group, California Small White 643, whereas the third marker probably came from the Andean-type cultivar Brown Beauty. This has important implications for the new set of differential lines, as Redlands Pioneer can no longer be regarded as a representative of the Andean gene pool. The markers, in particular SEAACMACC430/405, will be useful in tracing Ur-13 in large seeded breeding material, except where lines such as Mexico 309, PI 181996 and A 286 are used as donors of additional rust resistance genes, as these have the positive alleles of both SEAACMACC430/405 and SEACAMCTT310/288.Part of a Ph.D thesis submitted by the first author to the Department of Plant Sciences, University of the Free State.  相似文献
