Abstract

Explants of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium tumifacience GV 3101 strain containing nptII gene and cold regulated gene (BN115) from Brassica napus for transformation. Multiple shoots were obtained from the explants in the selection medium (MS basal medium supplemented with 100 mg/L kanamycin, 500 mg/L carbenicillin, 0.1 mg/L NAA, 0.5 mg/L kinetin) after 3 to 4 weeks of co-culture. The putative transgenic shoots were transferred to rooting medium (1/2 MS basal medium supplemented with 100 mg/L kanamycin and 250 mg/L carbenicillin). The selected shoots were tested with PCR analysis using nptll, BN115 primers whether cold-regulated gene was introduced to genome of the plants. The vir G primers were particularly used to check contamination of Agrobacterium during PCR analysis. The nptII and BN115 primers produced the specific PCR bands in the putative transgenic lines but the vir G primers did not. These results confirmed that the PCR products were not the result of contamination with Agrobacterium. Additionally the Southern analysis of the PCR products and RT-PCR analysis proved that the cold-regulated gene was successfully integrated and transcribed in the putative transgenic lettuce plants.

저온관련 유전자인 BN115 gene과 표지유전자인 npt II gene을 함유하고 있는 Agrobacterium tumifacience GV 3101 균주를 이용하여 겨울상추품종인 청치마의 잎절편과 공동배양하는 방법으로 형질전환 시켰다. 상추의 잎절편을 Agrobacterium과 공동배양 후 MS 기본배지에 100 mg/L kanamycin, 500 mg/L carbenicillin, 0.1 mg/L NAA, 0.5 mg/L kinetin을 첨가한 선발배지에 치상하였는데, 치상 후 3-4주부터 절편체로부터 multiple shoot들이 생성되기 시작하였다. 선발배지에서 살아남은 선발체들은 1/2 MS배지에 100 mg/L kanamycin, 250 mg/L carbenicillin이 첨가된 발근배지로 옮겨졌다. 한편, 선발된 shoot들은 PCR반응을 이용하여 도입유전자의 삽입여부를 확인하였다. PCR 반응은 표지유전자인 nptII와 저온관련 유전자인 BN115 및 식물에 도입되지 않는 vir G 유전자를 각각 특이적으로 증폭하는 primer를 가지고 실시하였다. PCR 반응 결과 대조구로 쓰인 정상 상추식물체에서는 nptII와 BNl15유전자의 증폭을 볼 수 없는 반면에 형질전환체에서는 두 유전자 모두 PCR 증폭 산물을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 확인된 식물체의 DNA에서는 vir G유전자가 발견되지 않아 이는 Agrobacterium의 혼입에 의한 결과가 아님을 다시 한번 증명하였다. 또한 선발된 형질전환체를 이용하여 Southern analysis와 RT-PCR을 실시한 결과 내한성 유전자가 상추 식물에 안정적으로 도입되어 발현됨을 확인하였다.
