Transgenic Plants

7.4K
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

19.6K
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Transformation

56
Microbial communities are dynamic environments where cell lysis releases free DNA into the surroundings. Other cells can take up this extracellular DNA through a process known as transformation.When a cell incorporates this foreign DNA into its genome, resulting in genetic modification, the process is known as transformation. Cells capable of this process are termed competent. Competence can be natural, as observed in certain bacteria and archaea, or artificially induced in the...

Area of Science:

  • Plant-microbe interactions
  • Molecular biology
  • Bacteriology

Background:

  • Agrobacterium tumefaciens uses elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) as a microbe-associated molecular pattern.
  • Plant immune receptors like Arabidopsis thaliana EFR perceive EF-Tu, triggering pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and reducing transformation efficiency.
  • Modifying bacterial components can potentially overcome plant immune responses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To engineer Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains with reduced PTI activation.
  • To enhance the efficiency of T-DNA-mediated transient expression in plants.
  • To identify bacterial EF-Tu variants that evade plant immune receptor recognition.

Main Methods:

  • Computational analysis to identify EF-Tu variants in plant bacterial species.
  • Engineering Agrobacterium tumefaciens to express EF-Tu variants from Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000.
  • Assessing transformation efficiency and transient expression in Arabidopsis thaliana and Camelina sativa.

Main Results:

  • Identified EF-Tu variants in P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000 that mitigate EFR perception.
  • Engineered Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains expressing these variants showed decreased PTI activation.
  • These modified strains exhibited significantly increased transient expression efficiency in A. thaliana and C. sativa.

Conclusions:

  • Altering Agrobacterium tumefaciens EF-Tu can reduce plant immune detection.
  • Engineered strains with specific EF-Tu variants offer improved transformation capabilities.
  • These strains hold potential as enhanced vectors for genetic transformation in Brassicaceae species.
