Description

Insect-resistant glyphosate-resistant transgenic corn event KJ1183 and detection method thereof

Technical Field

The application belongs to the technical field of molecular biology and plant breeding, mainly relates to a transgenic plant and a detection method thereof, and in particular relates to a transgenic corn event KJDLM528T201183 (commercial name KJ 1183) which is resistant to insects and resistant to glyphosate herbicide application and a method for detecting whether a biological sample contains a specific transgenic corn event KJ1183 nucleic acid sequence.

Background

Corn (Zea mays l.) is a major food crop, also an important feed crop, in many parts of the world, and has strategic significance in developing animal husbandry and aquaculture, and also has wide application in medicine and chemical industry. Biotechnology has been applied to improve agronomic traits and quality in corn.

For nearly 10 years, corn pest development continues to be a growing trend, particularly lepidopteran pests such as corn borer, cotton bollworm, spodoptera frugiperda, armyworm, and the like. The lepidopteran insect resistance gene is expressed in the corn plant by a transgenic method, so that the corn can obtain the lepidopteran insect resistance. The insect-resistant transgenic corn MON810 is developed by Monsanto company in the 90 th century of the 20 th century, and the MON810 strain has good effect in preventing and controlling corn borer from more than 20 years from commercialization. MIR162 developed by Zhengda has good effect in resisting spodoptera frugiperda.

Another important agronomic trait of corn is herbicide (especially glyphosate herbicide) tolerance. In corn production, the field weeding work consumes a large amount of labor force, so that the planting cost is increased, and if the weeding is not timely, the corn yield is reduced, so that the economic loss is brought to the corn production. The tolerance to glyphosate herbicide can be achieved in corn by transgenic expression of a glyphosate tolerance gene (e.g., EPSPS) in the corn plant.

At present, the trend of corn biological breeding is to cultivate insect-resistant and herbicide-resistant composite characters. The transgenic corn for obtaining the safety certificate in China has DBN9936 and Ruifeng 12-5, has lepidoptera pest resistance and glyphosate herbicide resistance, and is a material with the composite property of an insect resistance gene and a herbicide resistance gene. The single insect-resistant gene has narrow insect-resistant spectrum, long-term use and risk of generating resistance of target insect.

Expression of exogenous genes in plants is known to be affected by their chromosomal location, possibly due to the proximity of chromatin structures (e.g., heterochromatin) or transcriptional regulatory elements (e.g., enhancers) to the integration site. For this reason, it is often necessary to screen a large number of events to make it possible to identify events that can be commercialized (i.e., events in which the introduced target gene is optimally expressed). The screened commercialized event has excellent lepidoptera pests (corn borer, cotton bollworm, armyworm, spodoptera frugiperda, cutworm and the like) and herbicide resistance, does not affect other agronomic traits, and can be used for backcrossing transgenes into other genetic backgrounds through a conventional breeding method. The progeny produced by this crossing maintains the transgene expression characteristics and trait performance of the original transformant. The application of this strategy pattern can ensure reliable gene expression in many varieties.

Methods for detecting specific events would be beneficial for later cross-breeding, identifying whether the offspring contain the gene of interest. In addition, it will also help to comply with relevant regulations, product protection. It is possible to detect the presence of the transgene by any well known polynucleotide detection method, such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or DNA hybridization using polynucleotide probes. The identification of a transgene specific event is typically performed by PCR using a pair of primers spanning the junction of the inserted transgene and flanking DNA, specifically including a first primer located in the flanking sequence and a second primer located in the insertion sequence.

In the nucleic acid sequences and methods of the present invention for detecting corn plants, the following definitions and methods may better define the invention and direct one of ordinary skill in the art to practice the invention, unless otherwise indicated, terms are understood according to one of ordinary skill in the art's conventional usage.

Transformation procedures that cause random integration of the foreign DNA will result in transformants that contain different flanking regions that each transformant specifically contains. When recombinant DNA is introduced into plants by conventional hybridization, its flanking regions are generally not altered. Transformants will also contain unique junctions between the heterologous insert DNA and segments of genomic DNA or between two segments of heterologous DNA.

The present invention provides transgenic corn event, designated KJ1183, and progeny thereof, wherein the transgenic corn event KJ1183 is corn plant KJ1183, which includes plants and seeds of transgenic corn event KJ1183 and plant cells thereof or regenerable parts thereof, and plant parts of transgenic corn event KJ1183, including but not limited to cells, pollen, ovules, flowers, shoots, roots, stems, silks, inflorescences, ears, leaves and products from corn plant KJ1183, such as corn flour, corn meal, corn oil, corn steep liquor, corn silk, corn starch and biomass left in the crop field.

The transgenic corn event piece KJ1183 of the invention comprises a DNA construct that, when expressed in a plant cell, confers resistance to insects and tolerance to glyphosate herbicide to said transgenic corn event piece KJ 1183.

In some embodiments of the invention, the DNA construct comprises four expression cassettes in tandem, the first expression cassette comprising a suitable promoter and terminator for expression in a plant, the promoter operably linked to a CP4-epsps gene from an Agrobacterium CP4 strain (Agrobacterium sp. Strain CP 4), the CP4-epsps protein having a low affinity for glyphosate, the CP4-epsps protein being expressed in the plant, and the shikimic acid synthesis pathway being able to be reconstituted in the plant when glyphosate is used, allowing the transgenic plant to continue to synthesize aromatic amino acids, against glyphosate herbicides; the second expression cassette comprises a suitable promoter and terminator for expression in plants, said promoter being operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence of an insect-resistant vip3Aa19 protein from a bacterium of the genus aureobacter Yu Suyun (Bacillus thuringiensis, bt), said vip3Aa19 being lepidopteran insect resistant and having a high-efficiency poisoning effect on the insects agrotis yparis, spodoptera frugiperda, cotton bollworm; the third expression cassette comprises a suitable promoter and terminator for expression in plants, said promoter being operably linked to the nucleic acid sequence of the cry1ab.105 protein from bacillus thuringiensis (Bacillus thuringiensis, bt) which cry1a.105 protein is made up of components of Cry1Ab, cry1Ac and Cry1F protein sequences, having high insecticidal activity against myxons, agrotis yparistata, corn borer. The fourth expression cassette comprises a suitable promoter and terminator for expression in plants, the promoter being operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence operably linked to an insect-resistant Cry2Ab2 protein from a strain of E. Yu Suyun (Bacillus thuringiensis, bt), the Cry2A2 protein being lepidopteran insect-resistant and capable of killing larvae of lepidopteran pests such as cotton bollworms, corn borers, spodoptera frugiperda, and the like.

Among the three different insect-resistant proteins expressed simultaneously in the maize-transformed event KJ1183 of the present invention, cry1A.105 protein and cry2Ab2 protein belong to the insecticidal crystal protein (ICPs-Insecticidal Crystal Proteins) formed by Bacillus thuringiensis during spore production, and vip3Aa19 protein belongs to the amorphous protein (VIPS-Vegetative Insecticidal Proteins) secreted to the extracellular space by Bacillus thuringiensis during vegetative phase. ICPs and VIPs have similar toxic activities and specificities, but differ in molecular structure and mechanism of toxicity. Although the cry1A.105 protein and the cry2Ab2 protein belong to insecticidal crystal proteins, the structures of the two proteins are quite different, the amino acids of the two proteins are only 14% similar, and the proteins respectively have different affinities for binding receptor proteins on intestinal tracts of different lepidopteran insects, and the poisoning efficiency of the proteins to different lepidopteran insects is different. The insect-resistant mechanism of Vip protein is similar to that of Cry protein, and the results of membrane competition experiments show that Vip protein has completely different binding receptors on the midgut epithelial membrane of insect gut. The three proteins have different receptor binding sites on the intestinal epithelial cell membrane of the target pest, and have different resistance mechanisms, so that the interactive resistance does not exist, the development of pest resistance can be effectively delayed, and the life cycle of the product can be prolonged. The three proteins are expressed together, so that the corn-transformed event KJ1183 can effectively resist the harm of main lepidoptera pests of corn, and the income of corn planters is improved.

Further, the promoter may be a suitable promoter isolated from plants, including, but not limited to, the rice TubA promoter, the maize ubiquitin protein (ZmUbiInt) promoter, the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter, and the Figwort Mosaic Virus (FMV) 35S promoter. The terminator may be a suitable terminator isolated from plants, including, but not limited to, the rice TubA terminator TubA Ter, the pea rbcs2E9 gene terminator E9, the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S terminator, the wild barley Hsp17 terminator and the Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Agrobacterium tumefaciens) nopaline synthase (NOS) gene terminator NOS.

In addition, the expression cassette may also include other genetic elements including, but not limited to, enhancers and signal peptide/transit peptide nucleic acid coding sequences. Such enhancers may enhance the expression level of the gene, including, but not limited to, zmHsp70 (first intron of maize heat shock protein 70, enhancing stable expression of cry2Ab2 protein), cab (wheat chlorophyll a/b binding protein 5' utr sequence, enhancing stable expression of cry1a.105) and Ract1 (first intron sequence of rice actin 1, enhancing stable expression of cry1a.105). Such signal peptides/transit peptides include, but are not limited to, CTP2 (encoding a chloroplast transit peptide, localization of the cp4-epsps protein into the chloroplast for processing into a mature protein) and SSU-CTP (encoding a chloroplast transit peptide, localization of the cry2Ab2 protein into the chloroplast for processing into a mature protein).

The DNA construct is introduced into a plant using transformation methods including, but not limited to, agrobacterium (Agrobacterium) -mediated transformation, gene gun transformation, and pollen tube channel transformation.

A DNA construct is a combination of DNA molecules that are linked to one another to provide one or more expression cassettes. The DNA construct is preferably a plasmid capable of self replication in bacterial cells and containing various restriction enzyme sites for the introduction of DNA molecules providing functional genetic elements, i.e. promoters, introns, leader sequences, coding sequences, 3' terminator regions and other sequences. The expression cassette contained in the DNA construct includes the genetic elements necessary to provide for transcription of messenger RNA, and can be designed for expression in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. The expression cassette of the invention is designed to be expressed most preferably in plant cells.

A transgenic corn event KJ1183 resistant to lepidopteran insects and resistant to a glyphosate herbicide is grown by: first sexually crossing a first parent corn plant consisting of a corn plant grown from a transgenic corn event KJ1183 and progeny thereof obtained by transformation with an expression cassette of the invention that is lepidopteran insect resistant and tolerant to a glyphosate herbicide, with a second parent corn plant lacking lepidopteran insect resistance and/or tolerant to a glyphosate herbicide, thereby producing a plurality of first generation progeny plants; progeny plants that are resistant to attack by lepidopteran insects and/or tolerant to glyphosate herbicide are then selected, and maize plants that are resistant to lepidopteran insects and tolerant to glyphosate herbicide can be grown. These steps may further include backcrossing the lepidopteran insect-resistant and/or glyphosate-tolerant progeny plant with the second parent corn plant or the third parent corn plant, and selecting the progeny by infestation with the lepidopteran insect, application of a glyphosate herbicide, or by identification of a molecular marker associated with the trait (e.g., a DNA molecule comprising the junction site identified at the 5 'and 3' ends of the insertion sequence in transgenic corn event KJ 1183), thereby producing a lepidopteran insect-resistant and glyphosate herbicide-tolerant corn plant.

It will also be appreciated that two different transgenic plants can also be crossed to produce offspring containing two independent, separately added exogenous genes. Selfing of appropriate offspring can result in offspring plants that are homozygous for both added exogenous genes. Backcrossing of parent plants and outcrossing with non-transgenic plants as previously described are also contemplated, as are asexual propagation.

The term "probe" is an isolated nucleic acid molecule to which a conventional detectable label or reporter molecule, e.g., a radioisotope, ligand, chemiluminescent agent, or enzyme, is attached. Such a probe is complementary to one strand of the target nucleic acid, and in the present invention, the probe is complementary to one strand of DNA from the genome of transgenic maize event KJ1183, whether the genomic DNA is from transgenic maize event KJ1183 or seed or plant or seed or extract derived from transgenic maize event KJ 1183. Probes of the present invention include not only deoxyribonucleic acid or ribonucleic acid, but also polyamides and other probe materials that specifically bind to a target DNA sequence and can be used to detect the presence of the target DNA sequence.

Primers and probes based on flanking genomic DNA and insert sequences of the invention may be determined by conventional methods, for example, by isolating the corresponding DNA molecule from plant material derived from transgenic maize event KJ1183 and determining the nucleic acid sequence of the DNA molecule. The DNA molecule comprises a transgene insert and maize genomic flanking regions, and fragments of the DNA molecule may be used as primers or probes.

The nucleic acid probes and primers of the invention hybridize to a target DNA sequence under stringent conditions. Any conventional nucleic acid hybridization or amplification method can be used to identify the presence of DNA in the sample derived from transgenic corn event KJ 1183. The nucleic acid molecule or fragment thereof is capable of specifically hybridizing to other nucleic acid molecules under certain conditions. As used herein, two nucleic acid molecules can be said to specifically hybridize to each other if they are capable of forming antiparallel double-stranded nucleic acid structures. Two nucleic acid molecules are said to be "complements" of one nucleic acid molecule if they exhibit complete complementarity. As used herein, a nucleic acid molecule is said to exhibit "complete complementarity" when each nucleotide of the two molecules is complementary to a corresponding nucleotide of the other nucleic acid molecule. Two nucleic acid molecules are said to be "minimally complementary" if they are capable of hybridizing to each other with sufficient stability such that they anneal and bind to each other under at least conventional "low stringency" conditions. Similarly, two nucleic acid molecules are said to have "complementarity" if they are capable of hybridizing to each other with sufficient stability such that they anneal and bind to each other under conventional "highly stringent" conditions. Deviations from complete complementarity are permissible provided that such deviations do not completely prevent the formation of double-stranded structures by the two molecules. In order to enable a nucleic acid molecule to act as a primer or probe, it is only necessary to ensure sufficient complementarity in sequence to allow the formation of a stable double-stranded structure at the particular solvent and salt concentration employed.

As used herein, a substantially homologous sequence is a nucleic acid molecule that is capable of specifically hybridizing under highly stringent conditions to the complementary strand of a matching other nucleic acid molecule. Suitable stringent conditions for promoting DNA hybridization, for example, treatment with 6.0 XSSC/sodium citrate (SSC) at about 45℃followed by washing with 2.0 XSSC at 50℃are well known to those skilled in the art. For example, the salt concentration in the washing step may be selected from about 2.0 XSSC at low stringency conditions, about 0.2 XSSC at 50℃to high stringency conditions, about 50 ℃. In addition, the temperature conditions in the washing step may be raised from about 22 ℃ at room temperature under low stringency conditions to about 65 ℃ under high stringency conditions. The temperature conditions and salt concentration may both be varied, or one may remain unchanged while the other variable is varied. Preferably, a nucleic acid molecule of the invention can specifically hybridize under moderately stringent conditions, e.g., at about 2.0 XSSC and about 65℃to one or more of the nucleic acid molecules of SEQ ID NOS.1-8 or the complement thereof, or any fragment of the above sequences. More preferably, a nucleic acid molecule of the invention hybridizes specifically under highly stringent conditions to one or more of the nucleic acid molecules of SEQ ID NOS 1-8 or the complement thereof, or any fragment of the above sequences. In the present invention, preferred marker nucleic acid molecules have SEQ ID NO. 1, SEQ ID NO. 2, SEQ ID NO. 5 or SEQ ID NO. 6 or a complement thereof, or any fragment of the above sequences.

SEQ ID NO. 1, SEQ ID NO. 2, SEQ ID NO. 5 and SEQ ID NO. 6 can be used as markers in plant breeding methods to identify offspring of genetic crosses. Hybridization of the probe to the target DNA molecule may be detected by any method known to those skilled in the art, including, but not limited to, fluorescent labels, radiolabels, antibody-based labels, and chemiluminescent labels.

With respect to amplification (e.g., by PCR) of a target nucleic acid sequence using specific amplification primers, "stringent conditions" refer to conditions that allow hybridization of only the primer pair to the target nucleic acid sequence in a DNA thermal amplification reaction, and primers having a wild-type sequence (or its complement) corresponding to the target nucleic acid sequence are capable of binding to the target nucleic acid sequence and preferably produce a unique amplification product, i.e., an amplicon.

The term "specific binding (target sequence)" means that under stringent hybridization conditions, the probe or primer hybridizes only to the target sequence in a sample containing the target sequence.

As used herein, "amplified DNA" or "amplicon" refers to the nucleic acid amplification product of a target nucleic acid sequence that is part of a nucleic acid template. For example, to determine whether a maize plant is produced by sexual hybridization from a maize sample containing the transgenic maize event KJ1183 of the invention, or whether a maize sample collected from a field contains the transgenic maize event KJ1183, or whether a maize extract, such as meal, flour, or oil, contains the transgenic maize event KJ1183, DNA extracted from a maize plant tissue sample or extract can be amplified by a nucleic acid amplification method using a primer pair to produce an amplicon diagnostic for the presence of DNA of the transgenic maize event KJ 1183. The primer pair includes a first primer derived from a flanking sequence in the genome of the plant adjacent to the insertion site of the inserted foreign DNA, and a second primer derived from the inserted foreign DNA. The amplicon has a length and sequence that is also diagnostic for the transgenic corn event KJ 1183. The length of the amplicon may range from the combined length of the primer pair plus one nucleotide base pair, preferably plus about fifty nucleotide base pairs, more preferably plus about two hundred fifty nucleotide base pairs, and most preferably plus about four hundred fifty nucleotide base pairs or more.

Alternatively, the primer pair may be derived from flanking genomic sequences flanking the inserted DNA to produce an amplicon comprising the entire inserted nucleotide sequence. One of the primer pairs derived from the plant genomic sequence may be located at a distance from the inserted DNA sequence that may range from one nucleotide base pair to about twenty thousand nucleotide base pairs. The use of the term "amplicon" specifically excludes primer dimers formed in the DNA thermal amplification reaction.

The inserted exogenous DNA sequence and flanking DNA sequences from transgenic corn event KJ1183 may be obtained by amplifying the genome of transgenic corn event KJ1183 using the provided primer sequences, and standard DNA sequencing of PCR amplicons or cloned DNA after amplification.

DNA detection kits based on DNA amplification methods contain DNA primer molecules that hybridize specifically to the target DNA under appropriate reaction conditions and amplify the diagnostic amplicon. The kit may provide agarose gel-based detection methods or a number of methods known in the art for detecting diagnostic amplicons. Kits comprising DNA primers homologous or complementary to any portion of the maize genomic region of SEQ ID NO. 3 or SEQ ID NO. 4 and homologous or complementary to any portion of the transgene insertion region of SEQ ID NO. 8 are provided by the invention. Amplicons produced by these methods can be detected by a variety of techniques. One of the methods is Genetic Bit Analysis, which designs a DNA oligonucleotide strand that spans the insert DNA sequence and adjacent flanking genomic DNA sequences. The oligonucleotide strand is immobilized in a microwell of a microwell plate, and after PCR amplification of the target region (using one primer in each of the insert sequence and adjacent flanking genomic sequences), the single-stranded PCR product can hybridize to the immobilized oligonucleotide strand and serve as a template for a single base extension reaction using DNA polymerase and ddNTPs specifically labeled for the next desired base. The results may be obtained by fluorescence or ELISA-like methods. The signal represents the presence of an insertion/flanking sequence, which indicates that the amplification, hybridization and single base extension reactions were successful.

Another method is Pyrosequencing technology. The method contemplates an oligonucleotide strand spanning the insertion DNA sequence and adjacent genomic DNA binding sites. The oligonucleotide strand and the single stranded PCR product of the target region (using one primer in each of the insert sequence and adjacent flanking genomic sequences) are hybridized and then incubated with DNA polymerase, ATP, sulfurylase, luciferase, apyrase, adenosine-5' -phosphosulfate and luciferin. dNTPs are added separately and the resulting optical signal is measured. The optical signal represents the presence of an insertion/flanking sequence, which indicates that amplification, hybridization, and single base or multiple base extension reactions were successful.

Fluorescence polarization as described by Chen et al (Genome Res.) 9:492-498, 1999) is also one method that may be used to detect the amplicons of the present invention. The use of this method requires the design of an oligonucleotide strand spanning the insertion DNA sequence and adjacent genomic DNA binding sites. The oligonucleotide strand is hybridized to a single stranded PCR product of the target region (using one primer in each of the insert sequence and adjacent flanking genomic sequences) and then incubated with DNA polymerase and a fluorescent labeled ddNTP. Single base extension will result in insertion of ddNTP. Such an insertion can measure the change in its polarization using a fluorometer. The change in polarization represents the presence of an insertion/flanking sequence, which indicates that amplification, hybridization, and single base extension reactions were successful.

Taqman is described as a method for detecting and quantifying the presence of a DNA sequence, which is described in detail in the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Briefly, a FRET oligonucleotide probe is designed that spans the intervening DNA sequence and adjacent genomic flanking binding sites, as described below. The FRET probe and PCR primers (one primer in each of the insert sequence and adjacent flanking genomic sequences) are cycled in the presence of a thermostable polymerase and dNTPs. Hybridization of the FRET probe results in cleavage of the fluorescent moiety and the quencher moiety on the FRET probe and release of the fluorescent moiety. The generation of a fluorescent signal is representative of the presence of the insertion/flanking sequences, which indicates that amplification and hybridization were successful.

Suitable techniques for detecting plant material derived from transgenic maize event KJ1183 based on hybridization principles may also include Southern blot hybridization, northern blot hybridization, and in situ hybridization. In particular, the suitable technique includes incubating the probe and sample, washing to remove unbound probe and detecting whether the probe has hybridized. The detection method depends on the type of label attached to the probe, for example, radiolabeled probes can be detected by X-ray exposure and development, or enzymatically labeled probes can be detected by substrate conversion to effect a color change.

Tyangi et al (Nat. Biotech.) 14:303-308, 1996) describe the use of molecular markers in sequence detection. Briefly described, a FRET oligonucleotide probe is designed that spans the intervening DNA sequence and adjacent genomic flanking binding sites. The unique structure of the FRET probe results in it containing a secondary structure that is capable of retaining both the fluorescent moiety and the quenching moiety in close proximity. The FRET probe and PCR primers (one primer in each of the insert sequence and adjacent flanking genomic sequences) are cycled in the presence of a thermostable polymerase and dNTPs. Upon successful PCR amplification, hybridization of the FRET probe to the target sequence results in a loss of secondary structure of the probe, thereby spatially separating the fluorescent moiety from the quenching moiety, producing a fluorescent signal. The generation of a fluorescent signal is representative of the presence of the insertion/flanking sequences, which indicates that amplification and hybridization were successful.

Other described methods, such as microfluidics (microfluidics), provide methods and apparatus for isolating and amplifying DNA samples. The photodyes are used to detect and determine specific DNA molecules. A nano tube (nano tube) device comprising an electronic sensor for detecting DNA molecules or a nano bead binding to a specific DNA molecule and thus being detectable is useful for detecting the DNA molecules of the invention.

The primer pair of the present invention and methods described in the field of DNA detection or known can be used to develop a DNA detection kit. The kit facilitates the identification of the presence or absence of DNA from transgenic corn event KJ1183 in a sample and can also be used to cultivate corn plants containing DNA from transgenic corn event KJ 1183. The kit may contain DNA primers or probes homologous or complementary to at least a portion of SEQ ID NO. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8, or other DNA primers or probes homologous or complementary to DNA contained in the transgenic genetic element, which DNA sequences may be used in DNA amplification reactions or as probes in DNA hybridization methods.

In the DNA amplification method, the DNA molecule used as a primer may be any part derived from the transgene insert sequence in transgenic corn event KJ1183 or any part derived from the DNA region of the flanking corn genome in transgenic corn event KJ 1183.

Transgenic corn event KJ1183 may be combined with other transgenic corn varieties, such as herbicide (e.g., glufosinate, dicamba, etc.) tolerant corn, or transgenic corn varieties carrying other insect-resistant genes. Various combinations of all of these different transgenic events, when bred with transgenic maize event KJ1183 of the present invention, can provide improved hybrid transgenic maize varieties that are resistant to multiple insect pests and multiple herbicides. These varieties may exhibit superior characteristics such as yield enhancement compared to non-transgenic varieties and transgenic varieties of single trait.

The invention provides a nucleic acid sequence and method for detecting corn plants, transgenic corn event KJ1183 is resistant to ingestion damage by lepidopteran pests and is tolerant to the phytotoxic effects of glyphosate-containing agricultural herbicides.

The dual trait maize plants express the vip3Aa19, cry1a.105 and cry2Ab2 proteins of bacillus thuringiensis, which provide resistance to ingestion damage by lepidopteran pests (such as spodoptera frugiperda, asian corn borer, spodoptera frugiperda, cotton bollworm or mythia); and which expresses a glyphosate resistant 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) protein of agrobacterium strain CP4, which confers on plants tolerance to glyphosate. The dual-trait corn can effectively resist the damage of main lepidoptera pests such as corn borer, cotton bollworm, spodoptera frugiperda, armyworm and the like, can resist high-concentration glyphosate herbicide, so that corn growers can use less pesticide in the planting process, and the production investment is reduced. And can use high-efficient, broad-spectrum and cheap glyphosate to carry out convenient weed management, and reduce labor cost. On the basis of reducing labor investment and economic cost of farmers, vip3Aa19, cry1A.105 and cry2Ab2 protein multi-insect-resistant genes cooperate to resist insects, so that the use amount of pesticides is reduced, a comprehensive treatment strategy is provided for delaying the development of target insect resistance, and the shelter area required by resistance treatment is reduced, thereby generating comprehensive benefits in agriculture, economy and environment.

Furthermore, genes encoding insect resistance and glyphosate tolerance traits are linked on the same DNA segment and are present at a single locus in the transgenic maize event KJ1183 genome, which provides enhanced breeding efficiency and enables molecular markers to be used to track transgene inserts in the breeding populations and their progeny. Meanwhile, the DNA primer or probe provided in the detection method can generate amplification products diagnosed as transgenic corn event KJ1183 or the offspring thereof, and can rapidly, accurately and stably identify the existence of plant materials derived from the transgenic corn event KJ 1183.

T-DNA transfer requires a portion of the insert from the right border sequence (RB) of T-DNA from Agrobacterium C58, and the genomic region flanking transgenic maize event KJ1183 at the 3' -end of the transgenic insert (SEQ ID NO: 8).

1.2 plant transformation

Transformation was performed using conventional agrobacterium infection, and aseptically cultured maize (maize inbred line B104) young embryos were co-cultured with agrobacterium to transfer the T-DNA in the constructed recombinant expression vector pK0528 into the maize genome to generate transgenic maize event KJ1183, as follows:

1) Preparation of pK0528 Agrobacterium solution

The bacterial solution stored in a refrigerator at-80 ℃ is coated on YEB culture medium added with antibiotics of rifampicin and kanamycin, and is cultivated in dark at 28 ℃ for 48 hours.

Before use, the agrobacteria grown on the plates were collected with an inoculating loop, suspended with inf-AS medium, diluted with bacteria, and OD600 was 0.5.

2) Preparing young embryo

Corn ears about 12 days after pollination are taken. Removing leaves, treating with 75% alcohol for 30sec, treating with 1% sodium hypochlorite for 40min, and washing with sterile water three times. Young embryos are removed at room temperature and placed in centrifuge tubes containing 2mL inf medium. The new inf wash was washed twice, leaving a small portion of inf in the tube just enough to submerge the young embryo.

3) Pretreatment of young embryo

The centrifuge tube with the young embryo is placed into a water bath kettle with the temperature of 45 ℃ and is treated for 5min.

After the water bath is completed, the centrifuge tube is rapidly taken out for 2min in ice bath.

4) Agrobacteria infection young embryo

The residual inf in the centrifuge tube is sucked, 1mL of prepared agrobacterium liquid is added, the centrifuge tube is turned upside down for 20 times, and the centrifuge tube is kept stand for 5 minutes.

5) Co-cultivation

After infection is completed, transferring the young embryo and infection liquid to a co-culture medium, sucking residual liquid of the agrobacterium suspension liquid on the culture medium by a liquid transfer device, and adjusting the placing direction of the young embryo to enable the embryo axis surface to contact the culture medium, namely, the scutellum is upward. The dishes were sealed with a sealing film and dark-cultured at 28℃for 3 days.

6) Recovery culture

After 3 days of co-cultivation, the young embryos are transferred to recovery medium for 14 days in the dark at 28 ℃.

7) Screening culture

The young embryos recovered for 14 days are transferred to a screening medium and cultured in the dark at 28 ℃ for 14 days. After 14 days, the same medium was used for the secondary culture.

8) Differentiation culture

After two rounds of screening, the calli with vigorous growth are transferred to a differentiation medium and cultivated for 14 days at 28 ℃ under illumination.

9) Rooting of regenerated seedlings

After differentiation culture, the differentiated seedlings of about 2cm are transferred into a rooting tank containing rooting culture medium, and are subjected to illumination culture at 28 ℃ for 14 days.

10 Seedling transplanting

Transplanting the seedlings with developed root systems into a small greenhouse basin after 14 days of root culture, covering the small greenhouse basin with a cover for moisturizing, and removing the cover after 3 days. After 2 weeks of seedling recovery and PCR detection, the positive plants are transplanted into a big basin and are cultivated by illumination at 26 ℃ for 16 hours until flowering and seed setting.

1.3 identification and screening of transgenic events

Regenerated transgenic maize plants were examined by TaqMan analysis (see example 2) for the presence of cp4-epsps, vip3Aa, cry1A.105, cry2Ab2 genes and characterized for insect resistance and copy number of glyphosate herbicide tolerant lines. Based on the copy number of the gene of interest, good insect resistance, glyphosate herbicide tolerance and agronomic performance (see examples 5 and 6), event KJ1183 was selected to be excellent by screening, with single copy transgenes, good insect resistance, glyphosate herbicide tolerance and agronomic performance.

After the silk-laying period insect-receiving, the degree of female ear damage and plant damage, the number of boreholes, the length (cm) of the boreholes and the number of surviving larva instars and surviving numbers are investigated, and 15-20 plants/row are randomly selected for each treatment. The pest control level of the female spike was evaluated based on these indices, and the pest resistance was evaluated by examining and counting the results of pest control according to the specifications of the Ministry of agriculture 953, bulletin-10.1-2007 and NY/T1838.5-2006. The results show that the female spike of the receptor B104 is all harmed, the average harm of spike tips reaches 3-5cm, 3-5 instar larvae survive, and the female spike and the spike tips of the transformant KJ1183 are not harmed. The average leaf grade of transgenic corn is 0.00, and the resistance type is 'high resistance'; the average leaf rating of the recipient control B104 was 7.57, the resistance type was "high feel", the results of the transgenic corn event KJ1183 leaf stage and silking stage resistance to corn borers are shown in table 22, and the field effects are shown in fig. 7 and 8.

1. Test materials and methods

(1) Plant material: transgenic corn event KJ1183 and non-transgenic corn receptor control B104.

(2) Herbicide: monsanto company produces 41% of farm (recommended dosage for merchants: 150-250 ml/mu, 200 ml/mu 1×,400ml 2×, and so on)

(3) The transformant and the control various plants were repeatedly planted 3 times, at a distance of 1 meter or more, with a row spacing of 60cm and a plant spacing of 25cm, and were sowed according to the conventional sowing time, sowing mode and sowing amount of summer corn. Setting the recommended dosage of pesticide labels by 4 times, comparing with clear water, adding 450L/hectare of water, carrying out post-emergence stem and leaf treatment, spraying glyphosate in the 3-5 leaf stage of corn, keeping constant using pressure, recording steps, spraying herbicide or stem and leaf of clear water by a sprayer with a fan-shaped spray head, wherein the dosage of each herbicide is consistent with the water consumption of the comparison. Others are managed according to a local conventional method.

(4) Investigation and recording

The seedling rate, plant height (selecting the highest 5 plants), and phytotoxicity symptoms (selecting the least 15 plants) were investigated and recorded at 1 week, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after the drug, respectively. And according to the following table 23 and figure 18, grading statistics (reference standard GB/T19780.42) are carried out on the phytotoxicity symptoms, after corn is harvested, 10 ears are selected from the middle 2 rows of each district for indoor seed examination, and the agronomic characters related to corn yield are determined.

Note that: because the calculation of the victim level formula in the standard is wrong, if all plants have no victim symptoms, the phytotoxicity symptoms are classified into 1 level, and the total plant number is calculated as 100 plantsTherefore, the application reduces all the phytotoxicity levels by one step during investigation, and changes the 1-5 level into 0-4 level

Table 23 criteria for classifying and counting phytotoxicity symptoms

Grade of phytotoxicity	Description of symptoms
		Level 0	The corn grows normally without any victim symptoms;
level 1	The corn is slightly harmful to the human body, and the harm is less than 10%;
		level 2	The pesticide injury in corn can be recovered later, and the yield is affected;
3 grade	The corn has heavy phytotoxicity, is difficult to recover, and causes yield reduction;
		grade 4	The corn has serious phytotoxicity and cannot be recovered, so that obvious yield reduction or absolute yield is caused;

2. results and analysis

(1) Rate of seedling

The rate of seedlings of the transformant KJ1183 and the receptor control B104 under the condition of spraying clear water is 100% in the whole test period. Under the condition of spraying 4 Xglyphosate, the seedling rate of the transgenic corn investigated 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after the drug is 100%, and the seedling rate is not different from that of the clear water contrast; all the recipient controls died, with a seedling rate of 0, significantly lower than the clear water control.
