Abstract

For molecular breeding purpose, genetic transformation of Brassica napus cultivars has been extensively performed using Agrobacterium method. B. napus cv. napus, one of major oil crops, can be transformed via Agrobacterium-based method. We demonstrated that Agrobacterium-mediated transformation via vacuum infiltration slightly worked for the seedlings of B. napus cv. napus according to fluorometric GUS enzyme analysis. In contrast, transformation efficiency was highly enhanced when the seedlings, prior to agroinfiltration, were treated with sodium hydrosulfite solution as a chemical wounding agent. GUS gene expression in transformed seedlings that was confirmed by RT-PCR suggests their usefulness for the development of transient expression system.

분자육종의 목적을 위하여 Agrobacterium을 이용한 Brassica napus 식물의 유전적 형질전환은 폭 넓게 시행되어 왔다. B. napus cv. napus는 유지작물의 하나이면서 이 또한 Agrobacterium을 이용한 형질전환이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 agroinfiltration방법을 이용시 유채유묘의 형질전환이 낯은 효율로 나타나고 있으며 이는 fluorometric GUS assay에 의하여 판단되었다. 대조적으로 유채유묘에 대하여 sodium hydrosulfite 용액을 agroinfiltration 과정 이전에 처리할 경우 형질전환율이 상당히 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. RT-PCR에 의한 GUS유전자발현의 확인을 통하여 유채유도를 이용한 일시발현체계의 개발가능성을 제시하였다.
