Definitions
- the invention relates to DNA sequences coding for a polyol transporter and their use, in particular for the preparation of transgenic plants.
- Plants are able to synthesize, through photosynthesis, primary compounds like carbohydrates using light energy. Only certain organs of the plant, mainly the adult leaves, are able to manufacture and export carbohydrates to reserve organs, such as tubers, seeds and fruits, used in food and feed.
- sucrose In most plants, the main carbohydrate transported is sucrose, but in many plants, other compounds are also transported, such as polyols, of which mannitol is an example.
- Polyols are, like sucrose, primary products of photosynthesis. It has also been estimated that around 30% of the global production of primary carbon is used for the synthesis of polyols.
- Polyols, cyclic or not, are very common in plants; these are low molecular weight, highly soluble and non-reducing compounds.
- the three most common non-cyclic polyols (alditols) in Angiosperms are galactitol, sorbitol and mannitol.
- Sorbitol is the main photosynthetic product in several Rosaceae species such as apple, pear, peach and plum.
- Mannitol the most common alditol, is present in more than 100 species of higher plants, in particular in Rubiaceae (coffee), Oleaceae (privet, fen, olive) and Apiaceae (celery, carrot, parsley) (Lewis, 1984). It is produced in mesophyll cells (cells containing chlorophyll). To circulate, it must enter the screened tubes (ribs). However, there is no continuity between the mesophyll cells and the screened tubes: we therefore need a mannitol transporter. Thus, mannitol exits mesophyll cells and uses the transporter to enter the screened tubes.
- the compounds synthesized in the adult leaves are transported to the reserve organs and cross a certain number of membranes using the specialized proteins that are the transporters. These transporters play a considerable role in the plant because they are essential for its growth.
- the existence of a mannitol transporter in a plant such as celery has been demonstrated by various biochemical experiments (Salmon et al., 1995). This publication demonstrated that there is a mannitol transporter in celery and that expression of this transporter is very important in phloem tissue. However, nothing is said about the identification of the mannitol transporter.

- a process for preparing a transgenic celery as defined above comprises the following steps:
- the nucleotide sequences of the invention can be introduced into plasmids and be combined with regulatory elements for expression in eukaryotic cells. These regulatory elements are on the one hand transcription promoters and on the other hand transcription terminators. With the nucleotide sequences of the invention contained in the plasmids, it is possible to transform eukaryotic cells with the intention of expressing a translatable mRNA which makes possible the synthesis of a polyol transporter in the cells or with the intention of express an untranslatable mRNA, which prevents the synthesis of an endogenous polyol transporter in cells.
- the methods of genetic modification of dicots and monocots are already known (Gasser et al., 1989).
- the nucleotide sequences of the invention must be coupled with elements for regulating transcription. Such elements, called promoters, are already known (EP 375091).
- the coding regions must be provided with the transcription termination signals with which they can be correctly transcribed. Such elements are also described (Gielen et al, 1989).

- nucleotide sequences of the invention into a plant cell host, in addition to the transformation using Agrobacteria, there are many other techniques. These techniques include protoplast fusion, DNA microinjection and electroporation, as well as ballistic methods and virus infection. From the transformed plant material, whole plants can be regenerated in a suitable medium, containing antibiotics or biocides for selection. The resulting plants can then be tested for the presence of the introduced DNA. There is no specific requirement for plasmids with regard to injection and electroporation. Simple plasmids such as pUC derivatives can be used. The presence of a marker gene is necessary for the regeneration of whole plants from such transformed cells. The transformed cells grow in plants in the usual way (McCormick et al., 1986). These plants can develop normally and be crossed with plants that have the same or different genes. The resulting hybrids have the corresponding phenotypic properties.

- the DNA sequences of the invention can also be introduced into plasmids which allow mutagenesis or sequence modification by means of recombination of the DNA sequences in prokaryotic or eukaryotic systems.
- the transgenic plants of the invention are in particular characterized by an increase in the capacity to transport a polyol of the invention and to accumulate it in the organs from which it is extracted. They can be used to direct the flows of said polyol using said transporter towards the organs which accumulate little salt, thus facilitating extraction.
- the invention also relates to a method for screening genetically modified plants with at least one nucleotide sequence of interest which comprises the following steps:
- This process concerns plants which do not synthesize polyol or plants which synthesize it.
- a polyol transporter in particular mannitol.
- the screening then takes place on a medium containing said polyol as the sole carbon source. Plants expressing the polyol transporter thus have a growth advantage over unprocessed plants. At this stage, it can be assumed that any plant is capable of using said polyol as a carbon source. However, it may prove necessary to make a co-transformation with a gene coding for a protein capable of degrading said polyol.
- the use of a promoter active only in the initial phases of regeneration or inducible by a simple compound makes it possible to restrict the expression of the polyol transporter to the selection phases.
- the invention also relates to a process for obtaining transgenic plants resistant to pathogens, which comprises the following steps: the transformation of plant cells with a nucleotide sequence coding for a polyol transporter as defined above,
- This process relates to the transformation of plants which do not synthesize polyol or of plants which synthesize it, with a nucleotide sequence of a polyol transporter, in particular of mannitol, placed either under the control of a ubiquitous promoter (type CaMV 35S) or under the control of an inducible promoter in response to the attack of the pathogen.
- a polyol transporter in particular of mannitol
- the advantage is that the plant, by transporting more polyol, emitted by the pathogen to its own cells, removes one of the defenses put in place by the pathogen to fight against the activated oxygen released by the plant in response to this attack.
- the invention relates to a process for obtaining transgenic plants resistant to salt stress, which comprises the following steps:
- This method relates to the transformation of plants which do not synthesize polyol or of plants which synthesize it with a nucleotide sequence coding for a polyol transporter placed under the control of a specific promoter of the phloem (or of the promoter of the polyol transporter). If the plant synthesizes said polyol, increasing the transport of said polyol could lead to increased tolerance to salt stress. Otherwise, it is also appropriate to introduce genes allowing the synthesis of said polyol, but by limiting this synthesis to the leaves in order to avoid harmful effects on the growth of the plant.

For experiments with inhibitors or competitors, the product was added 30s before the radioactive mannitol.
- RNAs were isolated according to the method of Kay et al. (1987). The first strand of cDNA was inversely transcribed from total RNA with the oligo dT primer using SuperScript TM II reverse transcriptase (Stratagene). After degradation of the template RNA by RNaseH (Eurogentec), a PCR amplification was carried out using the primers 5 '(ATTCTGGTGTGTTGCTCG) and 3' (CAATGAACAGTATGATGTG) which allow the amplification of a fragment of 661 nucleotides.
- the PCR conditions are as follows: 2 minutes at 95 ° C then 30 cycles including denaturation of 30 seconds at 95 ° C, fixation of one minute at 47 ° C and elongation of 45 seconds at 72 ° C.
- the PCR products were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis and the intensity of the signal obtained quantified using Photoshop 5.0 software (Adobe Systems Inc.).
- the elongation factor elF4A (10) was. used as a control gene whose expression is invariable.
- the first strand of cDNA was reverse transcribed from the whole RNA of mature celery leaves, primed with a degenerate primer LLGFGVG. After amplification, a 1 kb band was observed on the agarose gel. All the fragments of this PCR reaction were cloned into a vector pGEM-T Easy (Promega), and several clones were obtained.
- a cDNA library from phloem bundles isolated from petioles of mature celery was constructed and this library was screened with the clone 5'RACE-PCR. After screening 900,000 transformants, 24 positive clones were identified. Positive transformants with inserts of approximately 1.8-2.0 kb were chosen and partially sequenced.
- AgMaTl was chosen for detailed analysis. It contains 1778 bp with an open reading frame which codes for a protein containing 513 amino acids with an estimated molecular mass of 56 kDa.
- mannitol transporter is a bacteria mannitol phospho transferase (Boer et al, 1994) which carries out both the transport and the phosphorylation of mannitol.
- This combined system is present in bacteria for many substrates, but it does not exist in eukaryotic organisms.
- a first screening of the cDNA library was carried out with the part of the mannitolphospho-transferase gene corresponding to the transmembrane domain. This screening did not make it possible to obtain a result, which is justified a posteriori by the absence of significant homology between AgMaTl and the mannitol-phospho-transferase.
- a second strategy which has been found to be inoperative, was inspired by that used to identify the transporter of oligosaccharides in plants (patent EP 0 647 273). It involved complementing Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells with a cDNA library in an expression vector. Yeasts are indeed capable of using mannitol as a carbon source, but they require a fairly long induction period on mannitol. As already stated, no mannitol transporter has been identified in yeast. The reasoning was that if a yeast expressed a mannitol transporter. vegetable, this would give it a growth advantage and that therefore, it would grow faster on a medium containing mannitol. This was done but none of the cDNAs obtained exhibited any of the characteristics of membrane proteins and actually resembled transcription factors. The selection system in fact made it possible to identify cDNAs which intervened in the expression of the yeast genes and not of the transporters.
- the inventors formulated an a priori unlikely probability that the mannitol transporter is part of the super family of carbohydrate transporters described by Marger and Saier (1993). To do this, we used a species, celery, in which the existence of a mannitol transporter had been demonstrated (Salmon et al., 1995) and to build a cDNA library from tissue (the phloem ) in which the carrier is most expressed. The second step was the selection of the cDNAs obtained on their capacity to confer on yeasts the possibility of transporting mannitol. In these experiments the witness was the yeast strain transformed with the empty expression plasmid. This is how the mannitol transporter function of the AgMaTl cDNA was demonstrated.
- the AgMaTl cDNA was subcloned into the Pstl / Xhol sites of the shuttle vector YEP 112A1XE which has a promoter / terminator box for the alcohol dehydrogenase gene ADH1 of S. cerevisiae (Riesmeier et al, 1992). Competent MaDH4 cells were transformed with this construct and YEP 112A1XE was used as a control. All of the constructs were first tested for their ability to grow on mannitol as the sole source of carbon. As indicated in FIG.
- the MaDH4 strain transformed with the empty plasmid YEP 112A1XE, is not capable of growing on mannitol.
- Cells expressing AgMaTl could very well grow on this polyol.
- the yeast cells were incubated in a medium containing [ 3 H] - mannitol for a few seconds to several minutes, the cells were washed and the radioactivity absorbed was measured by electric scintillation counting.
- Figure 2 indicates that the transport of mannitol in control cells of S. cerevisiae is negligible.
- yeast strains MaDH4 expressing AgMaTl, transport [H] -mannitol at high speeds when they grow on a medium containing mannitol.
- the same result was obtained with transformed yeast cells growing on glycerol (data not indicated).
- polyols such as dulcitol, sorbitol, xylitol, myo-inositol seem to be able to inhibit the absorption of mannitol by half.
- Celery branch plants (about 10 cm high) regenerated from embryogenic cells are used as plant material for processing.
- Agrobacterium tumefaciens bacteria are cultivated for 24 h at 28 ° C. with stirring in LB medium (Liquid Broth: tryptone 1%, autolytic yeast extract 0.5%), NaCl 0.5%)) with the appropriate antibiotic.
- the petioles of celery plants are fragmented in sections of about 0.5 cm. For each fragment, a longitudinal section is made.
- the celery segments are incubated in 1 ⁇ MS medium (Murashige & Skoog) (normal concentration, that is to say no dilution) liquid containing 1/25 me of the culture of Agrobacterium tumefaciens bacteria for 60 min at temperature. room.
- the excess bacteria is then removed from the celery segments by placing them on paper towels for 2-3 min.
- the side of the celery segments is placed in contact with the RM agar regeneration medium.
- the Petri dishes are placed in an air-conditioned room at 25 ° C and subjected to light / dark cycles 16 h / 8 h.
- the celery segments are removed from the boxes of RM medium and transferred to liquid MS 1 X supplemented with cefotaxime at a final concentration of 250 ⁇ g / ml. After a 60 min incubation, the celery segments are dried on paper towels for 2-3 min.
- the cambial surface of the celery segments is placed in contact with the CIM agar callogenesis initiation medium.
- CEM Petri dishes are placed in an air-conditioned room at 25 ° C and subjected to light / dark cycles 16 h / 8 h until callus development (2-3 weeks).
- the celery segments are then transferred to an OEM agar induction medium (2-3 weeks). After the appearance of the buds, these are removed and placed on the EM agar rooting medium. A few weeks (3-4 weeks) are necessary for the development of young celery shoots. Composition of media
