Definitions

  • This invention relates to methods for producing genetically modified plants, particularly woody plants, and most particularly plants of the Eucalyptus and Pinus species, as well as to plants, plant materials and plant products produced by or from such genetic modification.
  • This invention relates, more specifically, to techniques for producing genetically modified plants, including transgenic woody plants and interspecies hybrid woody plants, particularly of the Eucalyptus and Pinus species.
  • DNA into plants including commercially important forestry tree species.
  • the application of genetic engineering to commercially important forestry varieties provides opportunities to incorporate new or improved traits of commercial interest, such as disease resistance, male sterility, increased productivity, rooting ability, wood quality, and others, in forestry varieties.
  • the overall efficiency of techniques for genetically modifying plants depends upon the efficiency of the transformation technique(s) used to stably incorporate the homologous and/or heterologous genetic material into plant cells or tissues, and the regeneration technique(s) used to produce viable plants from transformed cells.
  • the efficiency of transformation and regeneration techniques adapted for genetically modifying forestry plants, such as plants of the Eucalyptus species, is low.
  • Techniques for plant tissue culture have been developed and used extensively for micropropagation of various Eucalyptus species. LeRoux and Van Staden, "Micropropagation and tissue culture of Eucalyptus: a review," Tree Physiology 9:435-477, 1991. Techniques used for micropropagation generally involve axillary bud multiplication. The axillary bud is induced from the leaf axils of stem segments, the bud is allowed to elongate into a shoot, and it is then allowed to multiply in the same manner, producing more axillary shoots. When sufficient copies of a clone are produced, the shoots are rooted and then transplanted.
  • axillary bud multiplication system is well developed, it is not a preferred regeneration system for regenerating genetically modified plants.
  • Transgenic plants produced using axillary bud multiplication regeneration techniques are often chimeric because the axillary buds are generated from preformed buds that may carry a mixture of transformed and non-transformed cells. Only portions of transgenic plants produced from chimeric tissues are transformed and carry the introduced genetic material.
  • Bosboutydskrif 157:59-65, 1991 a somatic embryogenesis pathway using leaf explants was described. These reported systems demonstrated a low efficiency and, additionally, required an impractically long time period for the regeneration process. The long duration (six months) of the regeneration process is not commercially feasible. Furthermore, neither of these systems was successfully reproduced by applicants. The success and efficiency of methods for producing genetically modified plants thus depends on the selection and optimization of a tissue culture regeneration system that provides de novo origination of plant material from transformed cells, and development of the genetically modified plant material to produce a genetically modified plant.
  • the present invention is directed to improved methods for producing genetically modified plants, particularly forestry species, and most particularly plants of the Eucalyptus and Pinus species.
  • the present invention involves methods for producing genetically modified plant material, particularly woody plant material of the Eucalyptus or Pinus species.

  • the target plant material is inoculated with Agrobacterium carrying the genetic construct of interest.
  • Preferred tissue explants of the target plant comprise stem segments from micropropagated shoot cultures.
  • the target plant stem segments may be pretreated in a multiplication medium and then transferred to a shoot elongation medium to promote formation of mature shoots.

  • the stem segments and/or nodes may be additionally wounded, such as by puncturing or cutting.
  • the stem segments and/or nodes may then be incubated with a transformed Agrobacterium culture to inoculate the target plant explants with the desired genetic material.
  • regeneration of adventitious shoot buds from the Agrobacterium infected stem segments is promoted in tissue culture using a combination of regeneration agents.
  • the system of the present invention is advantageous for producing genetically modified plants because it employs transformation and regeneration techniques that provide de novo shoot origination from transformed cells.
  • putative transformed adventitious shoots may be excised from the stem segments. Selection techniques may then be used to identify successfully transformed adventitious shoot buds.
  • the selection technique may vary, depending upon the reporter construct used.

  • This two stage selection technique substantially eliminates the presence of chimeric shoots in the selected adventitious shoot buds.
  • the transformed adventitious shoot buds are transferred to a rooting medium and roots are generated using techniques that are well known in the art. Rooted shoots, or plantlets, may then be transferred to planting medium and planted to complete the transformation and regeneration procedure.

This reduction is substantial. The methods of the present invention are suitable for commercial production of genetically modified plants, including forestry species such as Eucalyptus and Pinus.
  • the methods of the present invention for producing genetically modified plants and plant materials are especially suitable for use with forestry species, particularly Eucalyptus and Pinus species. These methods may provide the introduction of new genes, additional copies of existent genes, or non-coding portions of a genome, into selected clones with little disturbance of the plant's genome.

To ensure chimera- free transgenic plants, only the shoots showing 100% GUS staining may be selected for plantlet development.
  • Transformed shoots are transfe ⁇ ed to a suitable rooting medium.
  • a prefe ⁇ ed rooting medium comprises Gamborg medium (Sigma G5893) or Knop medium (Knop, Landw. tenus. Stat. 7:93-107, 1865) comprising LBA at a concentration of about 1 mg/1, a selection agent such as kanamycin at a concentration of about 100 mg/1, and timentin at a concentration of about 250 mg/1.
  • Rooting is accomplished in a period of from about two to four weeks and may involve an initial culture period in the dark to allow initial root development, followed by transfer to standard photoperiod conditions. During elongation and rooting, explants may be transfe ⁇ ed to larger culture vessels, such as Magenta boxes.
  • Rooted shoots, or plantlets may be transfe ⁇ ed to a growth medium and grown to mature, genetically modified plants.
  • Genetically modified plants produced according to the methods disclosed herein may be reproduced, for example, using standard clonal propagation techniques such as axillary bud multiplication techniques.
  • Examples 1 to 3 describe experiments involving optimization of the regeneration and transformation protocols for Eucalyptus transformation. All refer to adventitious bud induction from stem segments obtained from in vitro micropropagated shoot cultures of E. grandis x nilens clone 910.59 (Fletcher Challenge Forests, Ltd., New Zealand).
  • the tissue culture conditions in all examples, unless otherwise noted, were: temperature 20°C, 16 hour photoperiod, and cool white fluorescent lighting. These tissue culture conditions are generally prefe ⁇ ed. All cultures were placed in 20 x 100 mm Petri dishes, 10 stem segments per dish.
  • E. grandis X E. nitens clones 910.59, 910.62 and 910.64 were obtained as in vitro micropropagated shoot cultures grown on a multiplication medium (full strength MS medium, sucrose 30 g/1, BA 0.1 mg/1, and NAA 0.01 mg/1) for 3 weeks, and then transfe ⁇ ed to elongation medium (full strength MS medium, sucrose 30 g/1, BA 0.1 mg/1, NAA 0.01 mg/1 and gibberellic acid 1 mg/1) for 4 to 6 weeks.
  • the construction of the binary vector pKIWI is described by Janssen and Garner in Plant Molecular Biology 14:61-72, 1989.
  • This construct contains a chimeric gene, which expresses ⁇ -D-glucuronidase (GUS) in transformed plant tissues but not in bacterial cells, since the GUS gene lacks a bacterial ribosome-binding site.
  • GUS ⁇ -D-glucuronidase
  • Binary plasmid vector pKIWI 105 was transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain AGL1 (Biotechnology 9:963-967, 1991) by the freeze thaw method described in An et al, "Binary vectors," in Gelvin SB and Schilperoort RA, eds., Plant Molecular Biology Manual, Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers, pp. A3/1 - A3/19, 1988.
  • Colonies of Agrobacterium strain AGL1 ca ⁇ ying pKIWI 105 were grown on YEP medium (yeast 20 g, peptone 20 g, NaCl 10 g) for 2-3 days. A single colony from the plate was selected and grown in a culture tube containing 5 ml of YEP medium with kanamycin 100 mg/1 and rifampicin 50 mg/1. Cultures were incubated at 29°C with vigorous shaking. The overnight Agrobacterium culture was centrifuged at 3000g for 20 minutes and resuspended with YEP; then washed 3 more times.
  • YEP medium yeast 20 g, peptone 20 g, NaCl 10 g
  • MS medium sucrose at 30 g/1, BA at 0.1 mg/1, and NAA at 0.1 mg/1) for 3 weeks, and then transfe ⁇ ed to shoot elongation medium (full strength MS medium, sucrose 30 g/1, BA 0.1 mg/1, NAA 0.01 mg/1 and gibberellic acid 1 mg/1) for 4 to 6 weeks. All cultures were transfe ⁇ ed to fresh medium 2-3 weeks before transformation.
  • Mature shoots of 3-4 cm were chosen. To maximize adventitious bud induction, only stem segments from the second and third nodes were used. All leaves were peeled and discarded. Additional wounding was achieved by light longitudinal cutting of both sides of the stem with a scalpel blade. Second and third nodes of the shoots were carefully excised and placed in a flask containing the Agrobacterium suspension.
  • stem segments were cultured vertically in selection medium (MS + 3% sucrose + cytokinin and auxin + timentin 250 mg/1 + kanamycin 50 mg/1).
  • selection of transformed tissues may be carried out using G-418, which is also known as geneticin or neomycin.
  • G-418 which is also known as geneticin or neomycin.
  • Other selection agents co ⁇ esponding to a selectable marker in the expression vector may also be used.
  • Subculture of stem segments onto fresh medium was done every week for the first 4 weeks until adventitious buds were produced from the stem segments.
  • Putative transformed adventitious shoots were excised from the stem segments. All shoots were transfe ⁇ ed to shoot elongation medium (MS medium, sucrose 30 g/1, BA 0.1 mg/1, NAA 0.01 mg/1, gibberellic acid 1 mg/1, kanamycin 100 mg/1, timentin 250 mg/1) for 2 to 4 weeks. This second step of selection medium with a higher kanamycin concentration was included to further eliminate chimeric shoots which might have escaped from the first, lower kanamycin selection process. GUS staining of the stem segments of the shoots was monitored to further eliminate chimeric shoots.
  • Example 1 This experiment was designed to determine the best age of stem segments for adventitious bud induction.
  • the basal medium used was full-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium (Sigma M5519) and sucrose 30 g/1.
  • the age of stem segments (apical, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th nodes) were tested in combination with the concentrations of Benzylaminopurine (BA - 1, 2 and 3 mg/1). All media contained Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) at 0.01 mg/1.
  • NAA Naphthalene acetic acid
  • Example 2 This experiment was designed to determine the optimal concentration of kanamycin to be used for selection of transformed bud tissues. Explants were cultured as described at the end of Example 1, in combination with kanamycin levels of 0, 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 mg/1. In vitro shoots of 3-4 cm in size were cut into single node segments, and the appropriate segments used. All leaves were removed prior to culture. Approximately thirty explants were used for each treatment. Cultures were transfe ⁇ ed to fresh medium after 3 weeks in culture, and the percentage of bud inhibition determined after 5 weeks in culture.
  • the highest degree of bud inhibition was found using 100 mg/1 kanamycin.
  • a lower level of selection (25 - 50 mg/1) will be used for the initial selection of transformed adventitious buds.
  • 100 mg/1 kanamycin will be used for the subsequent selection of transformed shoots.
  • Second and third node segments were precultured on bud induction medium (MS medium containing 30 g/1 sucrose, 1 mg/1 BA and 0.01 mg/1 NAA) for 0, 1, 2, 4 or 7 days prior to Agrobacterium infection.
  • MS medium containing 30 g/1 sucrose, 1 mg/1 BA and 0.01 mg/1 NAA
  • explants were cultured on bud induction/selection medium for a minimum of 4-5 weeks, after which explants were removed from culture and stained to detect GUS activity (Stomp, "Histochemical localization of ⁇ -glucuronidase.” in GUS protocols: using the GUS gene as a reporter of gene expression, pp. 103 - 113, 1992). Blue-stained (GUS-positive) shoot buds are shown in Figure 1. The blue-staining indicates the transformed nature of the shoots.
  • Genomic DNA isolated from the blue shoot bud was used as template for PCR with primers 35S-GUS-1F (SEQ ID NO. 1) and 35S-GUS-2R (SEQ ID NO. 2). Cycling conditions were 94°C - 1 min (1 cycle); 94°C - 1 min, 55°C - 1 min, 72°C - 1 min (35 cycles); 72°C - 5 min (1 cycle). Plasmid DNA containing the introduced gene construct was used as a positive control. The DNA fragments were separated by agarose gel electrophoresis as shown in Figure 2.
  • Lane 2 is identical in size to the expected band obtained from the control plasmid DNA (Lane 3), indicating that the Eucalyptus DNA is transformed with the introduced DNA.
  • PCR reactions using blue shoot DNA and Agrobacterium virG gene primers were negative, indicating that contaminating bacterial DNA was not present in the Eucalyptus DNA sample.
  • Eucalyptus nodes were produced as in Example 4, then wounded by puncturing at least the outer cellular layer using a sterile 30 Vi gauge needle in the regions adjacent to and su ⁇ ounding the axillary region of each node. Following wounding, explants were infected with Agrobacterium containing the double 35S-GUS construct, as described in
  • Example 5 followed by co-cultivation on bud induction medium without selection. After co-cultivation, explants were transfe ⁇ ed to bud induction/selection medium for continued growth and development. Explants were stained for GUS activity as in Example 5 at 4-5 weeks post-infection.
  • Eucalyptus nodes were placed onto bud induction medium without selection for 7 days, to allow some axillary shoot growth. Following this, the basal region of each developing axillary shoot (below the lower-most leaves) was wounded using a scalpel or needle and explants placed into a suspension of Agrobacterium, as described in Example 5. In addition, following placement in bacterial solution, the explants were placed under vacuum using a vacuum pump, for 7 minutes, followed by co-cultivation on MS + 0.4%) glucose medium and subsequent growth on bud induction/selection medium as described in Example 5. Explants were stained for GUS activity as in Example 5 at 4- 5 weeks post-infection.
  • wounding of axillary shoots from pre-induced Eucalyptus nodes can be used as a method of targeting explant tissues for Agrobacterium infection and transformation.
  • Bud induction medium was tested as an alternative to co-cultivation medium comprising MS + 0.4%o glucose.
  • Eucalyptus nodal sections as described in Example 5 were used for Agrobacterium infection. During the infection, explants were infected under vacuum for 7 minutes. Explants were then placed on MS + 0.4% glucose or bud induction medium without a selection agent for the co-cultivation period, followed by culture on bud induction/selection medium, as described in Example 5. Explants were stained for GUS activity as in Example 5 at 4-5 weeks post-infection.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés permettant de produire des plantes génétiquement modifiées, notamment des plantes ligneuses, et plus particulièrement des plantes des espèces Eucapyptus et Pinus. Ces procédés impliquent la transformation d'un matériau végétal cible en une structure génique désirée, et la régénération du matériau transformé au moyen d'un système de bourgeon adventif de pousse. Ces procédés présentent une efficacité de transformation très élevée, et réduisent sensiblement la durée des protocoles de transformation et de régénération. Des segments de tige d'une plante cible sont transformés à l'aide de techniques induites par Agrobactérium, et les bourgeons adventifs de pousse sont régénérés à partir de segments de tige infectés par Agrobacterium. L'invention concerne également un milieu de culture préféré comprenant un support de sélection, et une amélioration des techniques de culture des plantes.
