Expression and chloroplast targeting of cholesterol oxidase in transgenic tobacco plants.
Cholesterol oxidase represents a novel type of insecticidal protein with potent activity against the cotton boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman). We transformed tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants with the cholesterol oxidase choM gene and expressed cytosolic and chloroplast-targeted versions of the ChoM protein. Transgenic leaf tissues expressing cholesterol oxidase exerted insectic...
متن کاملExpression and antimicrobial activity analysis of dermaseptin B1 recombinant peptides in tobacco transgenic plants
Recently, new molecular breeding and genetic engineering approaches have emerged to overcome the limitations of conventional breeding methods in generating disease-resistance transgenic plants. The use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) to produce transgenic plants resistant to a wide range of plant pathogens has achieved great success. Among huge number of AMPs, Dermaseptin B1 (DrsB1), an antimi...
متن کاملTransgenic Tobacco Plants and Histochemical Localization of Its Expression
The 5' region of the wound-inducible gene wunl, derived from potato, has been sequenced and analyzed for cisacting elements important in controlling gene expression in transgenic tobacco plants. Different 5' deletion fragments were linked to the reporter gene B-glucuronidase (GUS) as transcriptional fusions, and the expression of these chimeric genes was analyzed in leaf tissue. Sequences 11 1 ...
متن کاملChloroplast membrane photostability in chlP transgenic tobacco plants deficient in tocopherols.
The phototolerance of three chlP transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) lines, affected in geranylgeranyl reductase and, hence, deficient in tocopherols (vitamin E), was estimated by in vivo luminescence and fluorescence measurements and was compared with that of the wild type (WT). Exposure of leaf discs to high light (1 mmol photon m(-2) s(-1)) and low temperature (10 degrees C) led to a rapi...
متن کاملAssessment of salt tolerance in transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tobacum L.) plants expressing the AUX gene
Transformation of plants using Agrabacterium rhizogenes may affect secondary metabolite production as well as morphological changes. In this study, T-DNA from Ri plasmid in A. rhizogenes carrying pRi15834-PRT35S-GUS was introduced into tobacco leaf segments to initiate development of transformed hairy roots. Plant regeneration from transgenic roots used MS medium, and plants regenerated fro...
