Samsun NN tobacco cells were transformed with chimeric genes for pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins derived from genomic (PR-1a, GRP) or cDNA (PR-S) clones under the transcriptional control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. Regenerated plants were assayed by RNA and protein gel blotting, and plants showing high specific expression of the inserted genes were selected for self-pollination and seed formation. Inspection of second generation transformants showed that constitutive expression of PR-1a, GRP, and PR-S in tobacco in general does not have an effect on the phenotypic appearance of the plants or the expression of other endogenous PR genes. Furthermore, constitutive expression of the above genes does not affect the susceptibility of the plants to infection with tobacco mosaic virus or alfalfa mosaic virus.
用来自基因组(PR-1a、GRP)或cDNA(PR-S)克隆的病程相关(PR)蛋白的嵌合基因转化萨姆松NN烟草细胞,这些基因受花椰菜花叶病毒35S启动子的转录控制。通过RNA和蛋白质凝胶印迹分析再生植株,选择显示插入基因高特异性表达的植株进行自花授粉和种子形成。对第二代转化体的检查表明,PR-1a、GRP和PR-S在烟草中的组成型表达一般对植株的表型外观或其他内源性PR基因的表达没有影响。此外,上述基因的组成型表达不影响植株对烟草花叶病毒或苜蓿花叶病毒感染的敏感性。
