タイトル Development of the binary vector pTACAtg1 for stable gene expression in plant: Reduction of gene silencing in transgenic plants carrying the target gene with long flanking sequences.
ジャーナル Plant Biotechnol (Tokyo)
Abstract Genetic modification in plants helps us to understand molecular mechanisms underlying on plant fitness and to improve profitable crops. However, in transgenic plants, the value of gene expression often varies among plant populations of distinct lines and among generations of identical individuals. This variation is caused by several reasons, such as differences in the chromosome position, repeated sequences, and copy number of the inserted transgene. Developing a state-of-art technology to avoid the variation of gene expression levels including gene silencing has been awaited. Here, we developed a novel binary plasmid (pTACAtg1) that is based on a transformation-competent artificial chromosome (TAC) vector, harboring long genomic DNA fragments on both sides of the cloning sites. As a case study, we cloned the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter:β-glucuronidase (35S:GUS) gene cassettes into the pTACAtg1, and introduced it with long flanking sequences on the pTACAtg1 into the plants. In isolated transgenic plants, the copy number was reduced and the GUS expressions were detected more stably than those in the control plants carrying the insert without flanking regions. In our result, the reduced copy number of a transgene suppressed variation and silencing of its gene expression. The pTACAtg1 vector will be suitable for the production of stable transformants and for expression analyses of a transgene.
