Odyssey of agrobacterium T-DNA.
نویسنده
چکیده
Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a plant pathogen, is characterized by the unique feature of interkingdom DNA transfer. This soil bacterium is able to transfer a fragment of its DNA, called T-DNA (transferred DNA), to the plant cell where T-DNA is integrated into the plant genome leading to "genetic colonization" of the host. The fate of T-DNA, its processing, transfer and integration, resembles the journey of Odysseus, although our hero returns from its long trip in a slightly modified form.

پژوهشهای انجام شده پیرامون ریزنمونههای گیاهی که تحت تأثیر باکتری Agrobacterium rhizogenes قرار گرفته بودند، نشان میدهد که علاوه بر امکان تشکیل ریشههای مویین در این بافتها، احتمال رخداد ویژگیهای ریختی خاص از جمله کالوسزایی وجود دارد. ناحیه T-DNA از A. rhizogenes آنزیمهایی را کد میکند که ویژه بیوسنتز هورمونهای رشد گیاه هستند. این هورمونها بر کالوسزایی نیز تأثیرگذار است، بنابراین امکان...
متن کاملAgrobacterium T-DNA integration: molecules and models.
Genetic transformation mediated by Agrobacterium involves the transfer of a DNA molecule (T-DNA) from the bacterium to the eukaryotic host cell, and its integration into the host genome. Whereas extensive work has revealed the biological mechanisms governing the production, Agrobacterium-to-plant cell transport and nuclear import of the Agrobacterium T-DNA, the integration step remains largely ...
متن کاملArabidopsis VIRE2 INTERACTING PROTEIN2 is required for Agrobacterium T-DNA integration in plants.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation is an efficient tool for genetic engineering of plants. VirE2 is a single-stranded DNA binding Agrobacterium protein that is transported into the plant cell and presumably protects the T-DNA from degradation. Using a yeast two-hybrid system, we identified Arabidopsis thaliana VIRE2-INTERACTING PROTEIN2 (VIP2) with a NOT domain that is co...
متن کاملAgrobacterium-plant cell DNA transport: have virulence proteins, will travel.
Agrobacterium fumefaciens (Agrobacterium) is a soil phytopathogen that genetically transforms host cells, causing crown gall tumors, an agronomically important disease that affects most dicotyledonous plants. In nature, these tumors are formed at the soil-air junction, the so-called crown of the plant. The Agrobacterium-plant cell interaction is the only known natural example of DNA transport b...
متن کاملT-DNA transfer to maize cells: histochemical investigation of beta-glucuronidase activity in maize tissues.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is routinely used to engineer desirable genes into dicotyledonous plants. However, the economically important graminaceous plant maize is refractory to tumor induction by inoculation with virulent strains of A. tumefaciens. Currently, the only clearcut evidence for transferred DNA (T-DNA) transport from Agrobacterium to maize comes from agroinfection. To study T-DNA tr...
