Efficient Transformation of Trifolium repens L. Using Acetosyringone

Acetosyringone을 이용한 효율적인 White Clover의 형질전환

  • Published : 1997.06.01

Abstract

Transformants of White Clover(Trifolium repens L.) were efficiently produced from immature seed derived callus cocultivated with Agrobacterium twnefaciens LBA4404 harboring plant binary vector. pBI121, using acetosyringone. The mean frequencies of transformants on the two kanamycin-containing media were 16 to 19% when the immature seed-derived calli were infected with bacteria cultured in the presence of 100$\mu$M acetosyringone compared with 7% in media without acetosyringone. Transgenic white clover was subject to molecular analysis for integration into plant nuclear genome and expression of $\beta$-glucuronidase(GUS) gene. PCR and Northern blot analyses demonstrated that GUS gene was integrated into white clover nuclear genome and expressed into its mRNA. The expression of GUS gene into its protein was confirmed by spectrophotometric assay of GUS activity.

화이트 클로버의 배축, 잎, 미숙배 유래의 embryogenic callus에 식물 binary vector인 pBI121을 포함하는 A. tumefaciens LBA4404를 접종하여 효과적으로 화이트 클로버를 형질전환시켰다. A. tumefaciens를 이용한 화이트 클로버의 형질전환은 acetosyringone을 사용함으로써 품종간의 차이가 없이 배발생 캘러스에서 16-19%를 보였다. 재분화 식물체의 PCR 및 Northern 분서글 통하여 형질 전환된 화이트 클로버의 염색체내에 GUS 유전자가 안정되게 도입되었고 식물체내에서 mRAN로 발현됨을 확인하였다. 또한, GUS 유전자가 식물체내에서 단백질로 발현됨을 확인하기 위하여 형질 전환되어진 화이트 클로버부터 단백질을 추출하고 분광분석법에 의하여 GUS의 활성을 측정하였으며, 시료간에 약간의 차이는 있으나 유의적인 GUS 활성을 확인하였다.
