Expression of CAB (Chlorophyll a/b Binding Protein) Gene in Transformed Plants

CAB (Chlorophyll a/b Binding Protein) 유전자의 형질전환 식물체에서 발현

  • Published : 2001.01.01

Abstract

Transgenic tobacco plants were produced by the transformation of ginseng CAB gene using Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404. The presence of CAB gene in the second generation of transgenic tobacco plant was confirmed by genomic PCR. The photosynthetic ability of transgenic plants was higher than normal tobacco plants and the maximum photosynthetic point of transgenic and normal tobacco plants was 500 $\mu$mol m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ . The photosynthesis of C7, C11, 1, C14 cell lines was higher than normal plants at all the light intensities investigated. The photosynthesis of C2, C11, C14 cell lines in 90% dark condition was higher than normal plants. The chlorophyll contents of transgenic tobacco plants were almost same as normal plants. The % of dry weight, nicotine content, total sugar and nitrogen contents of harvested transgenic tobacco plant leaves were almost same as normal plants.

CAB 유전자로 형질전환된 담배 2세대 식물체의 도입된 CAB 유전자 존재여부를 genomic PCR 방법으로 각계통에서 확인하였다. CAB유전자로 형질전환된 2세대 식물체를 자연 광 조건과 90% 차광된 온실에서 각각 생육시킨 결과 형질전환 식물체의 광합성능 정도는 정상 식물체와 유사하거나 약간 높은 경향이었으며, 광포화점은 형질전환 담배 식물체나 정상 식물체 모두 500$\mu$mol m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$로 차이가 없었다. 조사한 7계통 중 C7, C11, C14 계통의 광합성 정도가 조사된 모든 광량에서 정상 담배 식물체보다 높게 나타났다. 차광된 조건에서 생육한 담배 식물체의 광합성능 정도는 조사된 7계통 중 C2, C11, C14 계통이 90% 차광된 온실조건에서도 광합성 능이 우수하게 나타났다. 형질전환 담배 식물체의 chlorophyll 함량은 정상 NC82와 차이가 없었으며, 양지에서 생육한 조건과 90% 차광된 조건 모두에서 차이점이 없었으며 광합성능과 chlorophyll 함량과의 유의성은 없었다. 형질전환 담배 식물체 수확엽의 건물률은 정상 식물체와 비교하여 차이점이 나타나지 않았으며, 내용성분도 nicotine, 전당, 전질소에서 차이가 없었다.
