Integration and Expression of Human Growth Hormone Gene in Caladium bicolor

Human growth hormone (hGH) gene has been inserted into the plasmid pLGV1103 to give the recombinant plasmid pLB-9. It has been introduced into the agrobacterium containing plasmid pGV3850. The recombinant Ti plasmid pGL198(hGH) has been obtained by homologous recombination. The monocotyledon Caladium bicolor has been transferred with pGL198 (hGH) with the leaf-disk co-cultivation method, and transgenic plants have been regenerated. The results of nopaline analysis, NPT II detection Southern blot and Western blot show that the hGH gene was integrated into the genome of Caladium bicolor, and a 22-kD protein was synthesized in the transgenic plants.     

人生长激素基因在花叶芋中的整合与表达

本试验将人生长激素(hGH)基因插入质粒载体pLGV1103中,构建了重组质粒pLB-9,将此重组质粒引入携带Ti质粒pGV3850的农杆菌,经同源重组,获得共整合重组体pGL198(hGH)Ti质粒。用叶盘共培养法,使pGL198(hGH)转化单子叶植物花叶芋(Caladium bicolor),获得转基因再生植株。经胭脂碱、新霉素磷酸转移酶、Southern印迹以及Western印迹等分析,表明hGH基因已整合到花叶芋DNA中,并且合成了分子量为22kD的表达产物。
