Seasonal changes in the transient expression of a 35S CaMV-GUS

چکیده
ß-glucuronidase gene (GUS) driven by a constitutive 35S CaMV-promoter in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) buds were studied by the microprojectile DNA-delivery method. Buds were collected from 5-, 15and 50-year-old trees. In buds from all age groups the amount of transient expression was dependent on the season; the highest values were found in March, and values were lowest both at the beginning and at the end of the growing season. Pretreatment with growth regulators increased both the amount of transient GUS expression and arginine decarboxylase (ADC) activity in buds indicating an increase in metabolic activity. These results confirm that the genetic transformation technique can be used to study seasonally dependent regulation in mature Scots pine tissues.

متن کاملFactors affecting delivery of DREB1A gene in maize B73 split-seeds via biolistic system
Immature embryos as a choice tissue for genetic transformation of maize have a few limitations, such as genotype dependence, time-consuming and requiring a well-equipped greenhouse for access, at any time. In the present study, the split-seed explants were used for genetic transformation of maize, B73 line. The transformation of maize split-seed explants from the inbred line B73, for resistance...

Transgene expression was evaluated for Gladiolus plants transformed with either the CaMV 35S, double CaMV 35S, rolD, or Arabidopsis UBQ3 promoter controlling the uidA or bean yellow mosaic virus coat protein gene in either the sense or antisense orientation to determine differences in expression for plants grown in the greenhouse and outdoors for two years. There wasmore variability in GUS expr...
متن کاملProtoplast isolation and transient gene expression in switchgrass, Panicum virgatum L.
Transient assay systems using protoplasts have been utilized in several plant species and are a powerful tool for rapid functional gene analysis and biochemical manipulations. A protoplast system has not been used in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), even though it is a bioenergy crop that has received considerable attention. Here we report the first protocol to isolate large numbers of viable...
متن کاملExpression Pattern of the Synthetic Pathogen-Inducible Promoter (SynP-FF) in the Transgenic Canola in Response to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a phytopathogenic fungus which causes serious yield losses in canola. A pathogen inducible-promoter can facilitate the production of Sclerotinia-resistant transgenic canola plants. Inthis study, the “gain of function approach” was adopted for the construction of a pathogen-inducible promoter.The synthetic promoter technique was used, which involved the in...
