regeneration of glyphosate-tolerant nicotiana tabacum after plastid transformation with a mutated variant of bacterial aroa gene

چکیده
presence of antibiotic resistance markers has always been considered as one of the main safety concerns in transgenic plants and their derived products. elimination of antibiotic selectable markers from transgenics is a major hurdle for finding efficient and safe candidates. herbicide tolerance genes might be attractive alternatives. in this study, a variant form of the 5-enoylpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (epsps) gene that harbors glycine at position 96 to alanine and alanine 183 to threonine substitutions and confers higher resistance to the broad-spectrum herbicide, glyphosate, was substituted against the spectinomycin resistant gene as a sole selectable marker for plastid transformation of nicotiana tabacum. plastid transformation was carried out using the biolistic delivery procedure while delivery parameters such as rupture disk pressure, bombardment distance, etc had been optimized first. a previous study showed that the glyphosate herbicide imposes lethal effects on the structure and integrity of the plastid membrane, even at low concentrations. in order to overcome this problem, a modified procedure for selection of transplastomic cells was used. a long preculture incubation period followed by a gradual increased in glyphosate concentration led to sufficient expression of the transgene. tolerant calli were thus regenerated through direct selection of transformed plastids in the presence of the glyphosate.

متن کاملNovel AroA from Pseudomonas putida Confers Tobacco Plant with High Tolerance to Glyphosate
Glyphosate is a non-selective broad-spectrum herbicide that inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS, also designated as AroA), a key enzyme in the aromatic amino acid biosynthesis pathway in microorganisms and plants. Previously, we reported that a novel AroA (PpAroA1) from Pseudomonas putida had high tolerance to glyphosate, with little homology to class I or class II glyph...
