Definitions
- This invention relates to the use of an indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) analogue as a plant hormone stimulatory to plant growth, to regeneration of plant cells and tissues, and to transformation of plant cells. It particularly relates to the use of mono- and multi-substituted IAA molecules.
- the invention also relates to compositions comprising IAA analogues of the invention.
- Plant growth is affected by a variety of physical and chemical factors. Physical factors include available light, day length, moisture and temperature. Chemical factors include minerals, nitrates, cofactors, nutrient substances and plant growth regulators or hormones, for example, auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins.
- IAA Indole-3-acetic acid
- IAA is a naturally-occurring plant growth hormone identified in plants. IAA has been shown to be directly responsible for the increase in growth in plants in vivo and in vitro. The characteristics influenced by IAA include cell elongation, internodal distance (height) , leaf surface area and crop yield. IAA and other compounds exhibiting hormonal regulatory activity similar to that of IAA are included in a class of plant regulators called "auxins.”
- cytokinins such as 6-furfurylamino purine (kinetin) and 6-benzylamino purine (BAP)
- cytokinin-based preparations are most effective in combination with auxins. While the mechanism by which cytokinins affect the growth cycle of plants is far from being understood, it is apparent that they affect leaf growth and prevent aging in certain plants.
- Major crop varieties of particular interest in this regard are agricultural crops such as maize, wheat, rice, soybeans and cotton.
- Embryo culturing has been shown to be important in making difficult interspecies crosses, while shoot-tip culturing is important in rapid clonal multiplication, development of virus-free clones and genetic resource conservation work.
- Callus, cell, and protoplast cultures have been shown to be important for cultures in which organization is lost but can be recovered.
- Plant genetic engineering techniques have also been established. These techniques include gene transfer by transformation or by protoplast fusion. In gene transfer, the steps involved are: (a) identification of a specific gene; (b) isolation and cloning of the gene; (c) transfer of the gene to recipient plant host cells: (d) integration, transcription and translation of the DNA in the recipient cells; and (e) multiplication and use of the transgenic plant (T. Kosuge, CP. Meredith and A. Hollaender, eds (1983) Genetic Engineering of Plants, 26:5-25; Rogers et al. (1988) Methods for Plant Molecular Biology [A. Weissbach and H. Weissbach, eds.] Academic Press, Inc., San Diego, CA) .
- plant cell protoplasts are fused by standard chemical (e.g., PEG) or electroporation techniques. After regeneration of the fused cells, interspecies amphidiploids have been obtained.
- the technique may provide desired amphidiploids which cannot be made by conventional means, and presents possibilities for somatic recombination by some variant of it.
- the foregoing techniques are widely in use (Chaleff, R.S. (1981) Genetics of Higher Plants, Applications of Cell Culture. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press) , and newly inserted foreign genes have been shown to be stably maintained during plant regeneration and are transmitted to progeny as typical Mendelian traits (Horsch et al. (1984) Science 223:496, and DeBlock et al. (1984) EMBO 3:1681). These foreign genes retain their normal tissue specific and developmental expression patterns.
- the Agrobacterium tumefaciens- ediated transformation system has proved to be efficient for many dicotyledonous plant species.
- Barton et al. (1983, Cell 32:1033) reported the transformation and regeneration of tobacco plants
- Chang et al. (1994, Planta 5:551-558) described stable genetic transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana .
- the Agrobacterium method for gene transfer was also applied to monocotyledonous plants, e.g.,in plants in the Liliaceae and Amaryllidaceae families (Hooykaas-Van Slogteren et al., 1984, Nature 311:763-764) and in Dioscorea bulbifera (yam) (Schafer et al., 1987, Nature 327:529-532); however, this method did not appear to be efficient for the transformation of graminaceous monocots, which include such food crops as wheat, rice and corn. Transformation of food crops was obtained with alternative methods, e.g., by polyethylene glycol (PEG)- facilitated DNA uptake (Uchimiya et al. (1986) Mol.
- PEG polyethylene glycol
- the present invention satisfies these needs by providing compounds and compositions which stimulate plant growth, regeneration of plant cells and tissues, and transformation of plant cells and tissues.
- the compounds of the invention comprise mono- or multi-substituted IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) or ester or salt derivatives thereof.
- the invention also provides compositions comprising one or more of these IAA analogues and, optionally, a carrier.
- the invention contemplates the use of such auxinic analogues to affect growth, regeneration and transformation in both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants.
- the invention provides monosubstituted IAA analogues having a substituent group at the 2, 4, 5, 6 or 7 position of the IAA structure, wherein said substituents are halo- or alkyl-, alkoxy-, acyl-, acylamido- and acyloxy-substituent groups having 1-10 carbon atoms.
- the invention also provides multi- substituted IAA analogues having two to five, same or different, substituent groups at different positions selected from positions 2, 4, 5, 6 or 7 of the IAA structure wherein said substituents are halo- or alkyl-, alkoxy-, acyl-, acylamido- and acyloxy-substituent groups having 1-10 carbon atoms.
- compositions of the invention may include, in addition to one or more of the mono- or multi-substituted compounds, one or more additional plant growth regulators.
- plant growth regulators include, for example, a cytokinin, a gibberellin, etc., in definite proportions for wide application to various plants.
- the invention is exemplified with compositions comprising mono- or multi-substituted IAA analogues having between one and five, same or different, substituent groups that are halo- , alkyl-, alkoxy-, acyl-, acylamido- or acyloxy-substituent groups at positions 2, 4, 5, 6 and/or 7 of the IAA structure, and a cytokinin to affect the growth of plants.
- the invention further relates to media comprising the compounds and compositions of the invention.
- Such media comprise one or more IAA analogues and optionally an IAA analogue and optionally a plant growth regulator, e.g., cytokinin, to stimulate plant growth, to stimulate regeneration of plant cells and tissues, and to stimulate transformation of plant cells and tissues.
- a plant growth regulator e.g., cytokinin
- the invention also relates to a method of stimulating plant growth comprising (a) applying to a plant, plant cell or tissue an effective amount of the compound or composition of the invention and optionally, applying one or more additional plant growth regulators, for example, a cytokinin, a gibberellin, etc. , and (b) incubating the plant cell or tissue under conditions sufficient to stimulate the regeneration of the plant cell or tissue.
- additional plant growth regulators for example, a cytokinin, a gibberellin, etc.
- the invention also provides a method for stimulating the regeneration of plant cells and/or tissues comprising (a) applying to a plant cell or tissue an effective amount of the compound or composition of the invention and applying one or more additional plant growth regulators, for example, a cytokinin, a gibberellin, etc., and (b) incubating the plant cell or tissue under conditions sufficient to stimulate the regeneration of the plant cell or tissue.
- a plant cell or tissue an effective amount of the compound or composition of the invention and applying one or more additional plant growth regulators, for example, a cytokinin, a gibberellin, etc.
- additional plant growth regulators for example, a cytokinin, a gibberellin, etc.
- the invention provides a method for stimulating the transformation of plant cells and/or tissues comprising (a) contacting the plant cell or tissue with a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., by transformation or protoplast fusion) , (b) applying to the plant cell or tissue an effective amount of a compound or composition of the invention and, optionally, one or more additional plant growth regulators, for example, a cytokinin, a gibberellin, etc., and (c) incubating the plant cell or tissue under conditions sufficient to stimulate transformation of the plant cell or tissue with the nucleic acid molecule.
- the compounds and compositions of the invention also may be used to stimulate regeneration or growth of the transformed tissue or cells, thus providing a method to obtain a transgenic plant.
- the invention also concerns a method of attenutating or alleviating environmental stress in a plant, plant cell or tissue comprising (a) contacting a plant, plant cell or tissue which has been exposed to an environmental stress (such as drought, excess temperature, diminished temperature, chemical toxicity [e.g. , antibiotic, herbicides] , pollution, excess light, and diminished light) with an effective amount of the compounds or compositions of the invention, and (b) incubating said plant, plant cell or tissue under conditions sufficient to attenuate or alleviate said stress.

- compositions of the present invention are further utilized for plant regeneration from transgenic plants.
- Genetic engineering of plants generally involves two complementary processes.
- the first process involves the genetic transformation of one or more plant cells of a specifically characterized type.
- transformation it is meant that a foreign gene, typically a chimeric gene construct, is introduced into the genome of the individual plant cells, typically through the aid of a vector which has the ability to transfer the gene of interest into the genome of the plant cells in culture.
- the second process then involves the regeneration of the transformed plant cells into whole sexually competent plants. Neither the transformation nor regeneration process need be 100% successful but must have a reasonable degree of reliability and reproducibility so that a reasonable percentage of the cells can be transformed and regenerated into whole plants.
- the two processes, transformation and regeneration, must be complementary.
- the complementarity of the two processes must be such that the tissues which are successfully genetically transformed by the transformation process must be of a type and character, and must be in sufficient health, competency and vitality, so that they can be successfully regenerated into whole plants.
- the invention envisions the genetic transformation of tissues in culture derived from leaf discs or hypocotyl explants.
- the transformed tissues can be induced to form plant tissue structures, which can be regenerated into whole plants.
- the transformation technique of the present invention is one which makes use of the Ti plasmid of A . tumefaciens .
- a . tumefaciens culture it is most advantageous to use a non-oncogenic strain of the Agrobacterium as the vector carrier so that normal non-oncogenic differentiation of the transformed tissue is possible.
- the chimeric construction including a foreign gene of interest must contain a promoter which is effective in plant cells to cause transcription of the gene of interest and a polyadenylation sequence or transcription control sequence also recognized in plant cells.
- Promoters known to be effective in plant cells include the nopaline synthase promoter, isolated from the T-DNA of Agrobacterium, and the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. Other suitable promoters are known in the art. It is also preferred that the vector which harbors the foreign gene of interest also contain therein one or more selectable marker genes so that the transformed cells can be selected from non- transformed cells in culture. In many applications, preferred marker genes include antibiotic resistance genes so that the appropriate antibiotic can be used to segregate and select for transformed cells from among cells which are not transformed.
- the details of the construction of the vectors containing such foreign genes of interest are known to those skilled in the art of plant genetic engineering and do not differ in kind from those practices which have previously been demonstrated to be effective in tobacco, petunia and other model plant species.
- the foreign gene should obviously be selected as a marker gene (Jefferson et al. (1987) EMBO J. 6:3901-3907) or to accomplish some desirable effect in plant cells. This effect may be growth promotion, disease resistance, a change in plant morphology or plant product quality, or any other change which can be accomplished by genetic manipulation.
- the chimeric gene construction can code for the expression of one or more exogenous proteins, or can cause the transcription of negative strand RNAs to control or inhibit either a disease process or an undesirable endogenous plant function.
- tissues are seeds, the seeds are then allowed to germinate on an appropriate germinating medium containing a fungicide.
- the hypocotyl portion of the immature plant is removed and sectioned into small segments averaging approximately 0.5 centimeters apiece. The hypocotyl explants are allowed to stabilize and remain viable in a liquid or agar plant tissue culture medium.
- the tissues can promptly be inoculated with a suspension culture of transformation competent non-oncogenic Agrobacterium.
- the inoculation process is allowed to proceed for a short period, e.g., two days, at room temperature, i.e., 24°C.
- the remaining treated tissues can be transferred to a selective agar medium, which contains one or more antibiotics toxic to Agrobacterium but not to plant tissues, at a concentration sufficient to kill any Agrobacterium remaining in the culture.
- Suitable antibiotics for use in such a medium include carbenicillin, cefotaxime, etc. as the bactericide for Agrobacterium and kanamycin as the selective antibiotic for transformed plant tissues.
- tissue culture medium which, in addition to its normal components, contains a selection agent.
- the selection agent exemplified herein by kanamycin, is toxic to non-transformed cells but not to transformed cells which have incorporated genetic resistance to the selection agent and are expressing that resistance.
- a suitable tissue culture medium is the MS medium to which are added an auxinic analogue of the invention and a cytokinin, with or without antibiotics.
- the surviving transformed tissues are transferred to a secondary medium to induce tissue regeneration.
- the surviving transformed tissue will thus continue to be regenerated into a whole plant through the regeneration technique of the present invention or through any other alternative plant regeneration protocols.
- compositions employed in the practice of the present invention will depend upon the type of response desired, the formulation used and the type of plant treated.
- the invention contemplates the use of a ratio of cytokinin concentration to auxin concentration of between approximately 50.0 and 0.001, and preferably between approximately 5.0 and 0.05, and more preferably between approximately 2.0 and 0.25.
- the chemical compounds employed as active components of the growth enhancing compositions of the present invention may be prepared in accordance with processes well known in the prior art or may be obtained commercially from readily available sources.
- the IAA analogues of the invention are useful in making a plant less susceptible to the toxicities of antibiotics. Such IAA analogues are also useful in enabling plants to overcome stress, e.g., environmental stress, physical stress, chemical stress, pollution, contamination, drought, light, and the like.
- compositions may be applied at any developmental stage of the plant species to obtain plant hormone or maintenance effects throughout maturity and to expedite regrowth in damaged tissues during early developmental stages, depending upon the concentration used, the formulation employed and the type of plant species treated.
- compositions of the present invention are preferably used in conjunction with specific auxiliary nutrients or other plant growth regulators in precise proportions to achieve a particular synergistic, growth enhancing response in various type of plants.
- the present compositions may additionally be used in association with fungicides to increase the disease resistance of various plants, making the plant tissue resistant to invasion by pathogens by influencing the enzyme and plant processes which regulate natural disease immunity.
- the present compositions possess essentially no phytotoxic activity of their own, they may sometimes be used in conjunction with herbicides to stimulate the growth of unwanted plants in order to make such plants more susceptible to a herbicide.

- particle bombardment method of Wang et al. (supra) or the Agrobacterium-mediating technique of Hiel et al. (1994) Plant Journal 6:271 or, alternatively, using the electroporation method as described by Dekeyser et al. (1990) Plant Cell 2:591- 602.
- Regeneration of transformed rice is performed according to Abdullah et al. (1986) Bio/Technology 4:1087-1909 or, alternatively, according to Raineri et al. (1990) Bio/Technology 8:33-38.
- maize is transformed and regenerated according to the procedures of Rhodes et al. (1988) Bio/Technology 6:56-60 and (1988) Science 240:204-20,7.
- an IAA auxinic analogue is used as the auxin to stimulate plant growth in accordance with the invention.
- one or more additional plant growth regulators may be added to the IAA analogue-comprising plant growth compositions.
- Non-Transgenic Plants as documented in Figures 8-10 and Tables 1. 2 and 4. Seeds of Nicotiana tobaccum Xanthi, potato and tomato were kindly provided by Dr. James Saunders (USDA, Beltsville) . Cassava plants were provided by Dr. Dick Sayer (The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH) .
- the leaf discs were incubated with 10 9 cells/ml of Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 cells containing pBI121 in MS complete medium with 0.5 mg/l MES for 10 minutes, transferred to solid MS complete medium, and incubated for two days at 25°C, using an 13 hour light/6 hour dark cycle for cocultivation.

- potato leaf discs were transformed with the Agrobacterium-mediation technique as described above for tobacco.
- the potato explants were then subjected to incubation with IAA analogues in the absence and presence of cytokinin to screen for auxinic activities.
- Potato stems were excised as described above and incubated in the MS complete medium (a) with 25, 50 and 100 mg/l kanamycin and either with/without 2 mg NAA or auxin derivatives or with/without 0.5 mg/l BAP (a ctyokinin) . After one month incubation, potato stems incubated in 50 mg or 100 mg/l kanamycin with/without BAP only showed necrosis of stem which indicted the toxicity of kanamycin. However, potato stems incubated in the MS medium containing 2 mg/l NAA and 100 mg/kanamycin, became expanded ( Figure 12) . In some cases, the presence of auxin or auxin derivatives showed the formation of calli in some of the potato stems.
- the stems incubated for one month with 50 mg/l kanamycin and 0.5 mg/l BAP were transferred into MS complete medium containing 2 mg/l NAA with/without 100 mg/l kanamycin, or MS medium containing 2 mg/l NAA, 0.5 mg/l BAP, and with/without 100 mg/l kanamycin.
- the formation of calli on the potato stems was observed when the potato stems were transferred to the MS medium containing auxin or auxin derivative with/without BAP. However, all the potato stems were dead after continued incubation without the addition of auxin or auxin derivatives ( Figure 13) .
- Tobacco leaves were removed from one month old plants and cut into small pieces (0.5 cm x 0.25 cm). These tissues were incubated in the MS complete medium in 0.5 mg/l BAP overnight and bombarded with microprojectiles (1300 psi) (helium source, obtained from BioRad) . After bombardment, the tobacco explants were incubated in (1) MS complete medium with 0.5 mg/l BAP, and (2) MS complete medium with 0.5 mg/l BAP and 2 mg/l NAA for three days before transferring to MS complete medium with 0.5 mg/l BAP. Significant improvement of the regeneration of tobacco shoots were shown in those explants incubated in MS medium containing NAA and BAP compared to those shoots incubated in MS medium with BAP only.
