Engineering resistance against various diseases and pests is hampered by the lack of suitable genes. To overcome this problem we started a research program aimed at obtaining resistance by transfecting plants with genes encoding monoclonal antibodies against pathogen specific proteins. The idea is that monoclonal antibodies will inhibit the biological activity of molecules that are essential for the pathogenesis. Potato cyst nematodes are chosen as a model and it is thought that monoclonal antibodies are able to block the function of the saliva proteins of this parasite. These proteins are, among others, responsible for the induction of multinucleate transfer cells upon which the nematode feeds. It is well documented that the ability of antibodies to bind molecules is sufficient to inactivate the function of an antigen and in view of the potential of animals to synthesize antibodies to almost any molecular structure, this strategy should be feasible for a wide range of diseases and pests.Antibodies have several desirable features with regard to protein engineering. The antibody (IgG) is a Y-shaped molecule, in which the domains forming the tips of the arms bind to antigen and those forming the stem are responsible for triggering effector functions (Fc fragments) that eliminate the antigen from the animal. Domains carrying the antigen-binding loops (Fv and Fab fragments) can be used separately from the Fc fragments without loss of affinity. The antigen-binding domains can also be endowed with new properties by fusing them to toxins or enzymes. Antibody engineering is also facilitated by the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). A systematic comparison of the nucleotide sequence of more than 100 antibodies revealed that not only the 3′-ends, but also the 5′-ends of the antibody genes are relatively conserved. We were able to design a small set of primers with restriction sites for forced cloning, which allowed the amplification of genes encoding antibodies specific for the saliva proteins ofGlobodera rostochiensis. Complete heavy and light chain genes as well as single chain Fv fragments (scFv), in which the variable parts of the light (V_L) and heavy chain (V_H) are linked by a peptide, will be transferred to potato plants. A major challenge will be to establish a correct expression of the antibody genes with regard to three dimensional folding, assembly and intracellular location.  相似文献   

地毯草研究进展   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

周永亮  张新全刘伟 《四川草原》2005,(11):24-26,39

地毯草与狗牙根、假俭草以及结缕草等草种相比,地毯草的耐旱性一般,耐寒性也相对较差,因而其分布区比狗牙根、假俭草等草种狭小。但地毯草有比较耐湿、耐荫、耐践踏和耐牧的特性,因而在河滩地等土壤湿度较大的环境下或者比较荫蔽的条件下其自然种群比较容易成为优势种,从而被广泛用于园林绿化以及公路护坡等。现在国内外对地毯草的研究还比较少,本文对地毯草的研究进展做了一些介绍,并对如何更好地研究、利用地毯草提出了建议。  相似文献   

甜樱桃芽酚类物质含量及相关酶活性变化与自然休眠的关系   总被引：5，自引：1，他引：5  

魏海蓉  高东升  李宪利 《园艺学报》2005,32(2):197-201

 以7年生甜樱桃‘红灯’和‘早红宝石’为试材, 研究了酚类物质含量及相关酶活性在自然休眠期间的动态变化, 探讨了温度对酚类物质含量的影响。结果表明, 甜樱桃芽酚类物质在自然休眠期间持续缓慢增加, 随休眠的结束, 含量急剧下降, 不同品种之间有差异, 自然休眠结束后总酚含量降至最低。花芽中的酚类物质含量略高于叶芽, 多酚氧化酶( PPO) 、苯丙氨酸解氨酶( PAL) 活性差别不大; 不同需冷量的品种之间差异明显。芽中PAL活性与总酚含量的变化趋势呈正相关。而PPO活性在自然休眠期间逐渐升高。低温(5℃) 促进酚类物质的积累, 中期使其提前达到高峰并进入下降阶段, 后期加速其降低;高温(20℃) 效果相反, 变温(5℃/20℃) 效果不明显。  相似文献

以托鲁巴姆为砧木、西安绿茄为接穗进行嫁接,研究嫁接对茄子果实中蛋白质、VC、可溶性糖含量及分布的影响。结果表明,嫁接后除可溶性糖含量略低于对照外,蛋白质、VC及果实中的含水量均高于对照。嫁接苗果实中主要营养成分在果实各部位的分布规律基本不变,内果皮中各种养分的含量均高于外果皮,由果实顶部至蒂部各种养分的变化规律不尽相同。随着果实的膨大,嫁接苗果实中主要营养成分的变化规律与对照基本一致。瞪眼期果实中的蛋白质含量较高,进入商品成熟期后,果实中的养分含量基本不变,趋于稳定。  相似文献

Characteristics for Practical Use of Attenuated Isolate UA-Fukushima of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tomato mosaic virus</Emphasis>     

Tsutomu MATSUMOTO  Yuichiro NARA  Hiromitsu FURUYA  Harumi TAKAHASHI  Kiichi TAIRAKO  Hideki YAMAMOTO 《Journal of General Plant Pathology》2002,68(4):382-384

L₁₁A-Fukushima (L₁₁A-F) derived from attenuated isolate LuA of Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) has the highest ability to cross protect against virulent ToMV among LuA and its derivatives and is stably inherited. Growth, yield, fruit quality and symptom attenuation of inoculated tomato plants did not differ significantly between L₁₁A-F and L₁₁A. The infectivity of progeny viruses in tomato infected with LuA-F was less than 4% of that with virulent ToMV. From these results, L₁₁A-F appears to possess the properties necessary for practical use. To manage L₁₁A-F strictly, a PCR-based assay to detect trace contamination of virulent ToMV in L₁₁A-F preparations was established.
