【摘要】 西瓜(Citrullus vulgaris S.)来源的AGPL1启动子在番茄(Lycopersicon esculentum L.)果实中具有较强的特异性驱动功能。将该启动子与甜味蛋白基因Brazzein融合构建植物表达载体,通过根癌农杆菌(Agrobacterium tumefaciens)介导法成功地进行了对番茄的遗传转化,获得转化植株。组织化学法、PCR特异扩增、Southern杂交分析及RT-PCR检测,表明Brazzein基因已整合到转基因番茄植株基因组中并且稳定表达。通过AGPL1果实特异启动子的调控,在不改变果实其他性状的前提下提高了番茄果实甜味品质,并为甜蛋白的生产提供经验。更多还原

【Abstract】 The AGPL1 (ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase large subunit 1) promoter from watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris S.) has proved to exhibit fruit-specific expression patterns in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.). A plant expression vector harboring sweet-taste protein, Brazzein, directed by AGPL1 promoter, was constructed and transferred into tomato plants through Agrobacterium-mediated transform methods. Histochemical staining assay, PCR screening, Southern blotting analysis and RT-PCR analysis showed that Brazzein gene was successfully integrated into the genome of transgenic tomato plants with stable expression. Sweet-taste fruits were produced under control of fruit-specific AGPL1 promoter, whereas other parameters of fruit quality were largely unchanged.更多还原
