Transient Expression of Human Growth Hormone in Potato (Solanum tuberosum), Tobacco (Nicotiana tobacum) and Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) Leaves by Agroinfiltration

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

Using agro-infiltration technique, we have transiently expressed human Growth Hormone (hGH) in tobacco(Nicotiana tobacum), potato (Solanum tuberosum) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa) leaves. Out of three differentinoculation times used for infiltration in our study, it was seen that highest level of hGH expression wasachieved when leaves were infiltrated for 35 min. The presence of biologically active hGH was detected inleaf extract by western blotting and ELISA. The highest expression was measured in tobacco was found tobe1.5-3 hGH mg/kg leaves.

transient expression of vp2 gene of very virulent ibdv in tobacco, alfalfa and lettuce leaves by agroinfiltration

vp2 protein is the major host protective immunogen of infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) of chickens. plants are now gaining widespread acceptance as a general platform for the large scale production of recombinant proteins including vaccine, antibodies and pharmaceuticals. in present study vp2 gene of an iranian isolate of ibdv was cloned under strong plant expression promoter camv35s and ...

Transient Expression of Foot and Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) Coat Protein in Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacom) via Agroinfiltration

Background: Transient and stable transformation of host plants are the common techniques to produce transgenic plants. However, the main drawback of stable transformation is the fact that it takes quite a long time to produce a transgenic line. While, transient gene expression is a quick method to produce recombinant proteins in plants.  Objective: The main goal of the present study was to eva...

Agroinfiltration and PVX Agroinfection in Potato and Nicotiana benthamiana

Agroinfiltration and PVX agroinfection are two efficient transient expression assays for functional analysis of candidate genes in plants. The most commonly used agent for agroinfiltration is Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a pathogen of many dicot plant species. This implies that agroinfiltration can be applied to many plant species. Here, we present our protocols and expected results when applying...

Systematic silencing of a tobacco nitrate reductase transgene in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.).

A population of 50 independent transgenic lettuces transformed with a nitrate reductase coding sequence under the control of the 35S promoter was studied. None of them showed significantly lower nitrate levels when compared with the untransformed plants, despite the presence of nitrate reductase (NR) activity that derives from the transgene in at least four of the transformants. No repercussion...

Gene Expression Changes in Phosphorus Deficient Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Leaves and the Potential for Diagnostic Gene Expression Markers

BACKGROUND There are compelling economic and environmental reasons to reduce our reliance on inorganic phosphate (Pi) fertilisers. Better management of Pi fertiliser applications is one option to improve the efficiency of Pi fertiliser use, whilst maintaining crop yields. Application rates of Pi fertilisers are traditionally determined from analyses of soil or plant tissues. Alternatively, diag...
