Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation of the Taxol-producing endophytic fungus Ozonium sp EFY21.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An efficient Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation method was successfully established for a newly isolated Taxol-producing fungus, Ozonium sp EFY21. A specific hygromycin B resistance expression vector, pCAMBIA1304'AN7-1, was constructed for fungal transformation. Key factors affecting transformation efficiency were thoroughly investigated and optimized. PCR amplification and Southern hybridization were used to verify the transformation events. This study should pave the way for future genetic modification studies of Ozonium sp EFY21.

Production of taxadiene by engineering of mevalonate pathway in Escherichia coli and endophytic fungus Alternaria alternata TPF6.
Taxol (paclitaxel) is a diterpenoid compound with significant and extensive applications in the treatment of cancer. The production of Taxol and relevant intermediates by engineered microbes is an attractive alternative to the semichemical synthesis of Taxol. In this study, based on a previously developed platform, the authors first established taxadiene production in mutant E. coli T2 and T4 b...
متن کاملOptimization of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) by vector containing human pro-insulin gene
Transferring foreign genes into mushroom mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a standard technique in genetic engineering. Recombinant human insulin has been greatly used in the treatment of type I diabetes. The production of edible mushroom derived insulin should facilitate oral delivery. In this study we used the Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation method for the transfer an...
متن کاملAgrobacterium Mediated Transformation of Maize (Zea mays L.)
Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation may offer a better alternative than the biolistic gun for genetic transformation of maize plants. This gene delivery system results in a greater proportion of stable, low-copy number transgenic events than does the biolistic gun, and is highly efficient. In the present work, we studied maize transformation using A. tumefaciens by identifying som...
متن کاملRegeneration and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of three economically important strawberry cultivars Kurdistan, Camarosa and Paros
Genetic transformation studies were carried out to standardize a protocol for Agrobacterium -mediated genetic transformation of three economically important strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch) cultivars Kurdistan’, Camarosa’, and ‘Paros’. Shoot regeneration frequency 72, 65 and 30% was obtained on MS (1) basal medium supplemented with 2% glucose and 4 mg/l TDZ for Camarosa, Kurdistan and Paro...
متن کاملGenetic Transformation of Oat Mediated by Agrobacterium is enhanced with Sonication and Vacuum Infiltration
Background: Oat (Avena sativa) with high nutritive value and fiber content is used as the main food grain in many countries for human diet as well as animal feed. Recently, it became difficult to transfer new genes through the conventional breeding due to the lack of desirable traits. Objectives: The current study aimed at achieving a st...
