Definitions
- Agrobacterium as well as transgenic plants or parts thereof, which were produced by the improved method.
- Triticum aestivum Products of plants of the genus Triticum such as wheat (Triticum aestivum) are one of the most important raw materials and play a key role as staple food in large parts of the world. Nevertheless, in the last fifty years, for example, the progress achieved by conventional breeding has fallen in the wheat
- marker genes provide a way to distinguish the transgenic from the non-transgenic plants.
- the application allows the selection with marker genes a more efficient transformation, or makes a
- the selection marker Since the selection marker is needed only during the ' iro-phase in the transgenic plant, it later fulfills no function in the plant and is therefore superfluous. However, since the number of available selection markers is limited, the presence of the no longer required selection marker makes it difficult to subsequently super-transform the already transgenic plant with a second goi. Stacking of multiple genes by sequential transformation is thus limited and limited by the number of different selection markers that are available for the particular plant species.
- selection marker is associated with a considerable work, cost and time.
- nucleases e.g., zinc finger nucleases. Such nucleases must do so by crossing with a nuclease
- the plants can be transformed with two T-DNAs, with one T-DNA carrying the goi and the other T-DNA carrying the selection marker.
- the plants In about 30% to 50% of the generated, transgenic plants, it then comes to the integration of the two T-DNAs in one Cell, but at different locations of the genome. This allows meiosis to segregate the selection marker and the goi in the next generation.
- identification of selection marker-free plants is only in the first
- the transformed explant usually undergoes several selection steps in the callus phase. During this selection phase takes place through the presence of an antibiotic or a herbicide, an enrichment of transgenic cells in the callus, which carry the corresponding resistance gene, that is transgenic. Non-transgenic cells are inhibited in their growth and die off, which significantly increases the likelihood that, in particular, transgenic shoots will regenerate from the selected callus.
- Faize et al. (2010) that during the transformation process of apricot the proportion of transgenic tissue in apricot shoots can be increased by multiple subculturing on selective medium and thus a chimeric character of the shoots can be reduced or eliminated by applying the selection.
- the selection steps are lacking, there is a clear risk that the non-transgenic shoots will be superior to those from transgenic cells during regeneration. It is believed that the transformed cells through the one
- Transgen is not passed on to the next generation.
- WO 2008/028121 describes the preparation of selection marker-free maize plants which can be generated without the use of a selection. While the authors suggest applying the disclosed method to other Poaceae such as wheat, the examples presented are limited to the production of transgenic maize plants only. In addition, while the authors suggest that the maize plants produced should preferably not be chimeric, no experimental data is provided on the inheritance of the transgene to the next generation, so that it can not be ruled out that a large part of the transgenic maize lines produced are chimeric , EP 2 274 973 likewise describes the production of transgenic monocotyledonous plants, in particular maize and rice plants, by means of / Agrobacter / Um-mediated transformation, in which no selection step is used. For corn it is clearly shown that a not inconsiderable number
- Chimeric plants is created, which must be identified and sorted out consuming.
- the proportion of chimeric starting transformants was> 50% of the obtained transgenic shoots. Only less than 20% of the generated transgenic plants were not chimeric (uniform) at all.
- the number of transformants with chimeric character is many times higher than in the transformation with corresponding selection steps. For example, in Coussens et al. (2012) showed that at the
- EP 2 460 402 A1 discloses a particularly efficient process for the transformation of wheat cells by means of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, which in regeneration is intended to enable yields of 70% and more transgenic lines per isolated initial explant.
- the transformation protocol used here always involves the use of the selection markers hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) or phosphinotricin acetyltransferase (PAT / bar).
- the present invention has been made in light of the above-described prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a Rhizobiaceae-mediated method for producing a transgenic plant of the genus Triticum which does not require marker gene-based selection and undesirable ones described above Effects minimized or only to a small extent shows.
- a further object of the present invention is a process for producing a transgenic plant of the genus Triticum, which is superior from previous methods both from an economic and a regulatory point of view.
- a method for producing a transgenic plant of the genus Triticum comprising the steps of (a) transforming at least one cell of a plant of the genus Triticum with a genetic
- Step (a) to step (b) does not select a transformed cell from (a) based on a property mediated by the genetic component or a part thereof.
- a bacterial cell of the family Rhizobiaceae is a bacterial cell of the genus Agrobacterium and more preferably a bacterial cell of the species
- Bacterial cell the genetic component on a vector, in particular on a binary vector, a super binary vector or a vector of a cointegrative
- the genetic component is a nucleic acid molecule, in particular a DNA molecule or a recombinant DNA, and comprises at least the gene of interest.
- the genetic component may comprise a regulatory sequence, an intron, a recognition sequence for an RNA molecule, a DNA molecule or a protein or a 5 'or 3' UTR (untranslated region).
- the transformation in step (a) may be carried out under conditions which permit successful infection of at least one cell of an explant of the plant of the genus Triticum with a bacterial cell of the family Rhizobiaceae.
- transformation conditions are known to those skilled in the art (Cheng et al., 1997).
- the explant used in step (a) is an embryonic tissue, in particular radicle, embryo axis, scutellum or germ, or a part thereof and constitutes part of an immature embryo or mature seed (EP 0 672 752 B1).
- other suitable tissues are also known which can be successfully used for transformation of plants of the genus Triticum such as wheat (Shrawat and Lörz (2006)).
- regeneration of a transgenic plant of the genus Triticum from at least one transformed cell from (a) in step (b) also means the regeneration of a plant from a transformed cell which has emerged from at least one transformed cell from (a) by cell division, for example in the course of the formation of a callus, which transforms into somatic embryos, to then lead to the shoot regeneration.
- Various techniques for the regeneration of a plant of the genus Triticum are known to those skilled in the art. Regeneration can be done, for example, from immature embryos (Vasil et al., 1993). Another possibility for regeneration results from anthers or microspores (eg Maluszynski et al., 2003).
- wheat plants have already been regenerated from flower tissue (Amoah et al., 2001) and from callus of mature embryos (Wang et al , 2009)
- a transformed cell from (a) may also mean a transformed cell which has emerged from at least one transformed cell from (a) by cell division.
- no selection based on a property mediated by the genetic component or a portion thereof is not selection based on herbicidal or antibiotic resistance.
- a herbicide resistance can be achieved, for example, by the expression of the phosphinotricin acetyltransferase from Streptomyces hygroscopicus or Streptomyces viridochromogenes, which confers resistance to the herbicide phosphinotricin or bialaphos (De Block et al., 1987).
- Another herbicide resistance, the resistance to the drug glyphosate can be achieved by the overexpression of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase. Usually, this enzyme is used which is insensitive to glyphosate (Comai et al., 1983).
- Pyrimidinyl (thio) benzoates can be achieved by expression of a mutagenized form of the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS). Different mutations lead to a resistance to the different herbicides. An overview of commonly used herbicide resistance can be found in Tuteja et al (2012), Kraus (2010) or Shrawat and Lörz (2006). Antibiotic resistance can be achieved by expression of bacterial genes that inactivate the antibiotic used by transferring a phosphate or acetyl group. Examples of these are neomycin phosphotransferase (npt), which has a
- hygromycin phosphotransferase is used, which mediates resistance to the antibiotic hygromycin B.
- Antibiotic resistance used in plant transformation can be found in Tuteja et al (2012), Kraus (2010) or Shrawat and Lörz (2006).
- Anthocyanins or other plant dyes by the expression of certain
- PMI Phosphomannose isomerase
- step (b) of the method according to the invention not only transgenic plants but also transgenic or chimeric plants in step (b) can regenerate.
- transgenic plants long countered an economically useful use of a marker gene-free method for producing a transgenic plant.
- the production of a transgenic plant with selection based on a marker gene and the subsequent removal of the selection marker even if this was associated with immense work, cost and time, was still the method of choice for transgenic, selection marker to create free plants.
- transgenic maize and rice plants still using, in particular
- Marker gene-based selection takes place. To a not inconsiderable extent, this is also due to the continuing problem of the increased generation of chimeric plants in the absence of a selection marker and their subsequent necessary identification and sorting. Usually, the proportion of chimeric plants is significantly higher in the absence of the marker gene-based selection compared to the proportion which is achieved when using a marker gene.
- the method according to the invention describes for the first time the production of a transgenic plant of the genus Triticum using a Rhizobiaceae-mediated

- Cultivation conditions were 18 ° C during the day and 16 ° C during the night, the daylength being 16 hours.
- Sodium lamps were used as the illumination source (Master SON-T Agro 400W).
- the embryo size in the developing ears was regularly checked and ears containing embryo-sized grains about 1.5-1.5mm in size were harvested and stored in the dark at 4 ° C until further use in water .
- the grains were isolated from the wheat spikes and then surface sterilized. For this purpose, the grains were first incubated for 45 seconds in 70% ethanol and then incubated for 10 minutes in 1% sodium hypochlorite solution. After sterilization, the grains were freed from adhering sodium hypochlorite by repeated washing in sterile water. The sterilized granules were then stored in the dark at 4 ° C until further use.

- FIG. 2 shows the scutellum of a transformed wheat embryo after several days after infection with A. tumefaciens.
- the embryo axis was removed from each embryo using a sharp scalpel and the remaining scutella were placed on a resting medium (Table 1). The plates with the scutella were then incubated for 5 days at 25 ° C in the dark. Subsequently, the developing callus was again subcultured at 25 ° C in the dark on the resting medium (Table 1) for 21 days.
- the induced callus was reacted to LSZ medium as a whole (Table 1) and exposed to light for 14 days. Forming green shoots were separated from callus and transplanted to LSF medium (Table 1) for rooting. The shoots were, as far as this was possible, separated from each other to obtain single shoots. Sprouts from an original explant (scutellum) were kept together. After sufficient growth of the shoots, leaf samples were taken for DNA extraction and subsequent PCR analysis.
- Embryos 89 embryos are stimulated to regenerate sprouts.
- the regenerated shoots were initially totaled 341 for PCR analysis
- Sprout pools summarized. For this purpose, depending on the number of regenerated shoots per initial explant, in each case 2 to 3 shoots of an explant were combined in a sample vessel for the purpose of DNA extraction. Should more than three shoots be regenerated per initial explant, then several sprout pools of one
- the primers tDT-1 (SEQ ID NO: 1) and tDT-2 (SEQ ID NO: 2) were used. DNA's in which a 287 bp fragment is amplified was able to demonstrate the presence of the introduced recombinant DNA and were considered transgenic.
- a quantitative PCR was carried out with the primers nosTxxxfO1 (SEQ ID NO: 3) and nosTxxxr03 (SEQ ID NO: 4) and the probe nosTxxxMGB (SEQ ID NO: 5). The quantitative PCR confirmed the previously obtained results with the classical PCR.
- the transgene could be detected in a total of 82 sprouts.
- the 82 shoots were from 37 explants / embryos that were initially infected with A. tumefaciens.
- the WA1 experiment achieved a transformation efficiency of ⁇ 25%. This efficiency is calculated from the 37 explants with positive sprouts, from originally 151 explants.
- transgenic single shoots could be identified in 56% (WA2) and 75% (WA3) of the regenerable explants.
- control experiments WA1 K, WA2K and WA3K were carried out, in which the selection marker hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) was integrated together with the gene of interest into the genome of the wheat variety typhoon.
- the transformations were carried out as described in EP 2 460 402, i. while the callus and
- Regeneration phase was added to the medium hygromycin in concentrations of 15 mg / L or 30 mg / L.
- the found transformation efficiency without application of selection corresponds to the efficiency that is usually achieved in wheat transformation experiments with marker gene-based selection, in some cases the efficiencies even seem to be higher.
- Table 2 Results of three transformation trials without the use of a marker gene-based selection in Triticum aestivum (variety Taifun); WAKx refers to the control experiments with marker gene-based selection, WAx refers to experiments without marker gene-based selection
- experiment WA2 identified twelve independent single copy lines using the qPCR approach. Since a total of 27 independent transgenic events were generated, this equals a rate of 44% single copy events. The experiment WA3 also generated 12 independent single copy events, resulting in a total of 42 generated independent events at a rate of 29%.
- T-DNAs are often designed so that the selection marker used for selection is positioned on the LB side of the T-DNA. Thus, only events with complete T-DNA, including completely transferred marker gene, can then be selected. Since only gene of interest as T-DNA is present in marker gene-free transformation, the gene of interest could thus be shortened involuntarily during transfer, which usually leads to erroneous expression of the transmitted gene of interest in the plant genome.
- Hybridization probe used. The genomic DNA was digested with HindIII so that a fully integrated T-DNA yielded a hybridization fragment greater than 3.0 kb. As can be seen in Figure 4, in all tested, PCR positive lines could be used.
- Hybridization fragment can be found. Genomic DNA from the negative control (Typhoon) did not hybridize to the probe. Since all hybridization fragments obtained have a size of> 3.0 kb, this demonstrates that the T-DNA is completely integrated in all the lines shown. This shows that the quality of the transgene after transfer is comparable to that using transformation with LB-side marker gene. This was not to be expected for a professional.
- Transformation method with respect to the level of expression of the integrated transgene studied more closely.
- T-DNA with selection marker it is for the successful selection of transgenic lines necessary that the gene of
- Selection marker is expressed, and thus it comes to the formation of the functional protein. T-DNA integrations in genomic regions that do not require reading of the
- transgenic line can not be identified as a transgenic line.
- events integrated into regions of the genome that do not allow the transgene to be read are also identified as a transgenic line by molecular biology techniques such as PCR.
- molecular biology techniques such as PCR.
- the expression level of the introduced transgene was determined from randomly selected lines of the transformation experiment WA1 by means of qRT-PCR (FIG. 5). In only 3 of the analyzed 13 transgenic lines no expression of the transgene could be detected. All other lines show a clear expression of the transgene, although the level of expression between the individual lines is clearly different. However, this is also the case in transgenic lines using a
- the introduced transgene is passed on to the next generation according to the Mendelian rules.
- the seeds of 6 transgenic lines were designed (each 30 grains / line) and the presence of the transgene and its zygote status were determined by qPCR on the introduced transgene tDT and on the introduced nos terminator.
- An example is the result of an analysis of a
