致瘤农杆菌能够转化大麦和小麦

直到现在,单子叶植物特别是禾谷类作物的基因工程还没有合适的载体系统。本文首次报道了致瘤农杆菌T37,A208和B63个菌种能够感染大麦和小麦的部分品种,形成突起和肿瘤。并且发现,酚类化合物乙酰丁香酮对转化有促进作用。另外,在合适的植物组织接种农杆菌也是转化成功的关键。文中讨论了农杆菌的宿主范围以及Ti质粒作为禾谷类作物基因工程载体的可能性。     

Agrobacterium tumefaciens CAN TRANSFORM Triticum aestivum AND Hordeum vulgare OF GRAMINEAE

So far there is no suitable vector system for the genetic engineering of monocotyledonous plants, especially cereal crops. It is first reported in this paper that Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains T37, A208 and B6 can transform some varieties of Triticum aestivum and Hordeum vulgare to form swellings and tumors. Itis shown in the experiments that phenolic compound acetosyringone may promote the transformation process. In addition, inoculating agrobacteria on appropriate plant tissues is also proved to be the key step in achieving successful transformation. The host range of A. tumefaciens and the possibility of utilizing Ti plasmid as the vector for the gene transfer of cereal crops are discussed.
