摘要
In order to create the Male Sterile Line in tobacco, the anti-sense fragment of HSP70 gene was linked to anther specific expression promoter TA29 and the reconstructed vector was transformed into tobacco by Agrobacterium mediated transformation, and the transformants were then screened. Gus and spot blotting hybridization analysis of the transformants indicated that anti-sense fragment of HSF70 gene had been integrated into tobacco genome and expressed, thus the male sterile tobacco line was obtained. Microscope observation of anther and pollen showed that pistils of transgenic tobacco were normal, whereas anthers and pollens were fairly abortive in the same transgenic tobacco flower, comparing with pistils and stamens in control plants. The ratio of HSI：＇70 protein before and after heat shock in mitochondrial was found to be 1.39 in control tobacco plants and 1.01 in transgenic tobacco sterile lines. This is suggested that the anti-sense gene fragment of HSP70 can effectively inhibit the expression of HSP70 protein and lead to transgenic male sterility in tobacco flowers. The assay provided a new genetic engineering method for male sterility creation in plants.
该文将HSP70反义基因片段与TA29花药特异性启动子连接构建成植物表达载体,应用农杆菌介导法将其导入到烟草细胞得到转基因植株。通过分子杂交检测和GUS基因表达检测及育性分析证明HSP70反义基因片段已整合进烟草基因组中,并导致转基因烟草出现雄性不育。花药和花粉的显微观察结果表明,转基因烟草的雌蕊正常、但花药和花粉出现败育,而对照植株的雌蕊和雄蕊都正常。通过线粒体HSP70蛋白的提取和测定,发现热激前后对照株的HSP70蛋白含量之比是1.39倍,转基因烟草不育株的HSP70蛋白含量之比为1.01倍,从而证明HSP70反义基因能够有效抑制HSP70蛋白表达而导致植物出现雄性不育。这一研究结果为利用基因工程技术创造植物雄性不育系提供了一种新的策略和途径。
