Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of the genetic manipulation of plants, particularly the modulation of gene activity and development in plants.
- the shoot apical meristem In Arabidopsis, the shoot apical meristem (SAM) is the source of all above ground postembryonic organs (e.g. stems, leaves and flowers). However, the majority of these organs are not initiated directly by the SAM, but are instead initiated by lateral meristems.
- the lateral meristems include flower meristems (FM), which form on the flanks of the SAM and lateral shoot meristems (LSM), which develop in leaf axils. Each LSM gives rise to a side branch containing leaves and flowers (Smyth et al., Early flower development in Arabidopsis, Plant Cell, 2, 755-767, (1990)).
- the overall morphology and reproductive capability of a plant is determined in part by the number, position and growth of lateral meristems.
- the morphology of FM and LSM formation has been described in Arabidopsis (Grbic and Bleeker, Axillary meristem development in Arabidopsis, Plant J. 21 , 215-223, (2000)) and many other species (Steeves and Wales, Patterns in Plant Development, New York; Cambridge University Press (1989)), and several mutations affecting FM and LSM formation have been reported.
- These mutants include the tomato lateral suppressor (Is) mutant (Schumacher et al., The lateral suppressor (Ls) gene of tomato encodes a new member of the VHIID protein family, Proc Natl Acad.

Methods for making such cells, plants, and seeds are further provided. It is recognized that a variety of promoters will be useful in the invention, the choice of which will depend in part upon the desired level of expression of the disclosed nucleotide sequences. It is recognized that the levels of expression can be controlled to modulate the levels of expression in the plant cell.

- sequences of the present invention find use in modulating meristem development.
- modulating meristem development is intended any alteration in the meristem phenotype including, for example, an alteration in the formation and maintenance of the meristem and/or an alteration of size and appearance of lateral shoot meristems. Such modulations in meristem development may result in an increase or a decrease in meristem size and/or an increase or decrease in the yield of leaves, tassel, and/or ears.
- compositions of the invention include nucleic acid and amino acid sequences that are involved in modulating plant development and developmental pathways.
- the present invention provides for isolated nucleic acid molecules comprising nucleotide sequences encoding the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, 4 or 6. Further provided are polypeptides having an amino acid sequence encoded by a nucleic acid molecule described herein, and fragments and variants thereof.
- the invention encompasses isolated or substantially purified nucleic acid or protein compositions.
- An "isolated” or “purified” nucleic acid molecule or protein, or biologically active portion thereof, is substantially or essentially free from components that normally accompany or interact with the nucleic acid molecule or protein as found in its naturally occurring environment.
- an isolated or purified nucleic acid molecule or protein is substantially free of other cellular material, or culture medium when produced by recombinant techniques, or substantially free of chemical precursors or other chemicals when chemically synthesized.
- an "isolated" nucleic acid is free of sequences (preferably protein encoding sequences) that naturally flank the nucleic acid (i.e., sequences located at the 5' and 3' ends of the nucleic acid) in the genomic DNA of the organism from which the nucleic acid is derived.
- the isolated nucleic acid molecule can contain less than about 5 kb, 4 kb, 3 kb, 2 kb, 1 kb, 0.5 kb, or 0.1 kb of nucleotide sequences that naturally flank the nucleic acid molecule in genomic DNA of the cell from which the nucleic acid is derived.
- a protein that is substantially free of cellular material includes preparations of protein having less than about 30%, 20%, 10%, 5%, or 1 % (by dry weight) of contaminating protein.
- culture medium represents less than about 30%, 20%, 10%, 5%, or 1 % (by dry weight) of chemical precursors or non-protein-of-interest chemicals.
- Fragments and variants of the disclosed nucleotide sequences and proteins encoded thereby are also encompassed by the present invention.
- fragment is intended a portion of the nucleotide sequence or a portion of the amino acid sequence and hence protein encoded thereby.
- Fragments of a nucleotide sequence may encode protein fragments that retain the biological activity of the native protein and hence bind receptors, influence signal transduction, and/or retain the ability to modulate meristem development (i.e., prevent meristem enlargement).
- fragments of a nucleotide sequence that are useful as hybridization probes generally do not encode fragment proteins retaining biological activity.
- fragments of a nucleotide sequence may range from at least about 20 nucleotides, about 50 nucleotides, about 100 nucleotides, about 150, about 200, about 250, about 300, about 350, about 400, about 450, about 500 and up to the full-length nucleotide sequence encoding the proteins of the invention.
- the fragment can comprises nucleotides 1-50, 50-100, 100-150, 150- 200, 200-250, 250-300, 300-350, 350-400, 400-450, and 450-500.
- Other fragments of the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:2 include amino acids 1-20, amino acids 21-40, amino acids 41-60, amino acids 61-80, and amino acids 81-94.
- a fragment of a REVOLUTA sequence that encodes a biologically active portion of a REVOLUTA protein of the invention will encode at least 15, 25, 30, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 contiguous amino acids, or up to the total number of amino acids present in a full-length REVOLUTA protein of the invention. Fragments of a REVOLUTA nucleotide sequence that are useful as hybridization probes or PCR primers generally need not encode a biologically active portion of a REVOLUTA protein. Thus, a fragment of a REVOLUTA nucleotide sequence may encode a biologically active portion of a REVOLUTA protein, or it may be a fragment that can be used as a hybridization probe or PCR primer using methods disclosed below.
- a biologically active portion of a REVOLUTA protein can be prepared by isolating a portion of one of the REVOLUTA nucleotide sequences of the invention, expressing the encoded portion of the REVOLUTA protein (e.g., by recombinant expression in vitro), and assessing the activity of the encoded portion of the REVOLUTA protein.
- Nucleic acid molecules that are fragments of a REVOLUTA nucleotide sequence comprise at least 16, 20, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500 nucleotides, or up to the number of nucleotides present in a full-length REVOLUTA nucleotide sequence disclosed herein.
- variants are intended substantially similar sequences.
- conservative variants include those sequences that, because of the degeneracy of the genetic code, encode the amino acid sequence of one of the REVOLUTA polypeptides of the invention.
- Naturally occurring allelic variants such as these can be identified with the use of well-known molecular biology techniques, as, for example, with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and hybridization techniques as outlined below.
- Variant nucleotide sequences also include synthetically derived nucleotide sequences, such as those generated, for example, by using site-directed mutagenesis but which still encode a REVOLUTA protein of the invention.
- variants of a particular nucleotide sequence of the invention will have at least about 40%, 50%, 60%, 65%, 70%, generally at least about 75%, 80%, 85%, preferably at least about 90%, 91 %, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, and more preferably at least about 98%, 99% or more sequence identity to that particular nucleotide sequence as determined by sequence alignment programs described elsewhere herein using default parameters.
- variant protein is intended a protein derived from the native protein by deletion (so-called truncation) or addition of one or more amino acids to the N- terminal and/or C-terminal end of the native protein; deletion or addition of one or more amino acids at one or more sites in the native protein; or substitution of one or more amino acids at one or more sites in the native protein.
- Variant proteins encompassed by the present invention are biologically active, that is they continue to possess the desired biological activity of the native protein, that is, bind receptors, influence signal transduction, and/or retain the ability to modulate meristem development (i.e., prevent meristem enlargement), as described herein. Such variants may result from, for example, genetic polymorphism or from human manipulation.
- Biologically active variants of a native REVOLUTA protein of the invention will have at least about 40%, 50%, 60%, 65%, 70%, generally at least about 75%, 80%, 85%, preferably at least about 90%, 91 %, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, and more preferably at least about 98%, 99% or more sequence identity to the amino acid sequence for the native protein as determined by sequence alignment programs described elsewhere herein using default parameters.
- a biologically active variant of a protein of the invention may differ from that protein by as few as 1-15 amino acid residues, as few as 1-10, such as 6-10, as few as 5, as few as 4, 3, 2, or even 1 amino acid residue.
- the proteins of the invention may be altered in various ways including amino acid substitutions, deletions, truncations, and insertions. Methods for such manipulations are generally known in the art.
- amino acid sequence variants of the REVOLUTA proteins can be prepared by mutations in the DNA. Methods for mutagenesis and nucleotide sequence alterations are well known in the art. See, for example, Kunkel, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82:488-492, (1985); Kunkel et al., Methods in Enzymol. 154:367-382, (1987); U.S. Patent No. 4,873,192; Walker and Gaastra, eds.
- the genes and nucleotide sequences of the invention include both the naturally occurring sequences as well as mutant forms.
- the proteins of the invention encompass both naturally occurring proteins as well as variations and modified forms thereof.
- Such variants will continue to possess the desired activity (i.e., bind receptors, influence signal transduction, and/or retain the ability to modulate meristem development (i.e., prevent meristem enlargement)).
- the mutations that will be made in the DNA encoding the variant must not place the sequence out of reading frame and preferably will not create complementary regions that could produce secondary mRNA structure. See, EP Patent Application Publication No. 75,444.
- deletions, insertions, and substitutions of the protein sequences encompassed herein are not expected to produce radical changes in the characteristics of the protein. However, when it is difficult to predict the exact effect of the substitution, deletion, or insertion in advance of doing so, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the effect will be evaluated by routine screening assays. Plants exhibiting modulated meristem development can be selected using visual observation. See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,637,785, 6,002,069, 5,859,338, 6,025,483, and Fletcher et al., Science 283:1911-1914, (1999) all of which are herein incorporated by reference. Alternatively, assays to measure receptor binding are also routine. See, for example, Trotochaud et al. , Science 289:613-617 (2000), which is herein incorporated by reference.
- Variant nucleotide sequences and proteins also encompass sequences and proteins derived from a mutagenic and recombinogenic procedure such as DNA shuffling. With such a procedure, one or more different REVOLUTA coding sequences can be manipulated to create a new REVOLUTA sequence possessing the desired properties. In this manner, libraries of recombinant polynucleotides are generated from a population of related sequence polynucleotides comprising sequence regions that have substantial sequence identity and can be homologously recombined in vitro or in vivo.
- sequence motifs encoding a domain of interest may be shuffled between the REVOLUTA gene of the invention and other known sequences involved in meristem maintenance or development (such as other REVOLUTA homologs) to obtain a new gene coding for a protein with an improved property of interest, such as an increased K m in the case of an enzyme.
- Strategies for such DNA shuffling are known in the art. See, for example, Stemmer, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91 :10747-10751 , (1994); Stemmer, Nature 370:389-391 , (1994); Crameri et al., Nature Biotech. 15:436-438, (1997); Moore et al, J. Mol.
- reference sequence is a defined sequence used as a basis for sequence comparison.
- a reference sequence may be a subset or the entirety of a specified sequence; for example, as a segment of a full-length cDNA or gene sequence, or the complete cDNA or gene sequence.
- comparison window makes reference to a contiguous and specified segment of a polynucleotide sequence, wherein the polynucleotide sequence in the comparison window may comprise additions or deletions (i.e., gaps) compared to the reference sequence (which does not comprise additions or deletions) for optimal alignment of the two sequences.
- the comparison window is at least 20 contiguous nucleotides in length, and optionally can be 30, 40, 50, 100, or longer.
- Computer implementations of these mathematical algorithms can be utilized for comparison of sequences to determine sequence identity. Such implementations include, but are not limited to: CLUSTAL in the PC/Gene program (available from Intelligenetics, Mountain View, California); the ALIGN program (Version 2.0) and GAP, BESTFIT, BLAST, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Version 8 (available from Genetics Computer Group GCG® programs (Accelrys, Inc., San Diego, CA), USA). Alignments using these programs can be performed using the default parameters.
- the CLUSTAL program is well described by Higgins et al., Gene 73:237-244 (1988); Higgins et al., CABIOS 5:151-153, (1989); Corpet et al, Nucleic Acids Res. 16:10881-90, (1988); Huang et al., CABIOS 8:155-65, (1992); and Pearson et al., Meth. Mol. Biol. 24:307-331 , (1994).
- the ALIGN program is based on the algorithm of Myers and Miller (1988) supra. A PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4 can be used with the ALIGN program when comparing amino acid sequences.
- Gapped BLAST in BLAST 2.0
- PSI-BLAST in BLAST 2.0
- Alignment may also be performed manually by inspection.
- sequence identity/similarity values provided herein refer to the value obtained using GAP version 10 using the following parameters: % identity using GAP Weight of 50 and Length Weight of 3; % similarity using Gap Weight of 12 and Length Weight of 4, or any equivalent program.
- equivalent program is intended any sequence comparison program that, for any two sequences in question, generates an alignment having identical nucleotide or amino acid residue matches and an identical percent sequence identity when compared to the corresponding alignment generated by GAP Version 10.
- GAP uses the algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443- 453, (1970), to find the alignment of two complete sequences that maximizes the number of matches and minimizes the number of gaps.
- GAP considers all possible alignments and gap positions and creates the alignment with the largest number of matched bases and the fewest gaps. It allows for the provision of a gap creation penalty and a gap extension penalty in units of matched bases. GAP must make a profit of gap creation penalty number of matches for each gap it inserts. If a gap extension penalty greater than zero is chosen, GAP must, in addition, make a profit for each gap inserted of the length of the gap times the gap extension penalty. Default gap creation penalty values and gap extension penalty values in Version 10 of the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package for protein sequences are 8 and 2, respectively. For nucleotide sequences the default gap creation penalty is 50 while the default gap extension penalty is 3.
- the gap creation and gap extension penalties can be expressed as an integer selected from the group of integers consisting of from 0 to 200.
- the gap creation and gap extension penalties can be 0, 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 or greater.
- GAP presents one member of the family of best alignments. There may be many members of this family, but no other member has a better quality. GAP displays four figures of merit for alignments: Quality, Ratio, Identity, and Similarity.
- the Quality is the metric maximized in order to align the sequences. Ratio is the quality divided by the number of bases in the shorter segment.
- Percent Identity is the percent of the symbols that actually match.
- Percent Similarity is the percent of the symbols that are similar. Symbols that are across from gaps are ignored.
- a similarity is scored when the scoring matrix value for a pair of symbols is greater than or equal to 0.50, the similarity threshold.
- the scoring matrix used in Version 10 of the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package is BLOSUM62 (see Henikoff and Henikoff, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:10915, (1989)).
- sequence identity or “identity” in the context of two nucleic acid or polypeptide sequences makes reference to the residues in the two sequences that are the same when aligned for maximum correspondence over a specified comparison window.
- percentage of sequence identity is used in reference to proteins it is recognized that residue positions which are not identical often differ by conservative amino acid substitutions, where amino acid residues are substituted for other amino acid residues with similar chemical properties (e.g., charge or hydrophobicity) and therefore do not change the functional properties of the molecule.
- sequences differ in conservative substitutions the percent sequence identity may be adjusted upwards to correct for the conservative nature of the substitution.
- Sequences that differ by such conservative substitutions are said to have "sequence similarity" or "similarity”. Means for making this adjustment are well known to those of skill in the art. Typically this involves scoring a conservative substitution as a partial rather than a full mismatch, thereby increasing the percentage sequence identity. Thus, for example, where an identical amino acid is given a score of 1 and a non-conservative substitution is given a score of zero, a conservative substitution is given a score between zero and 1. The scoring of conservative substitutions is calculated, e.g., as implemented in the program PC/GENE (Intelligenetics, Mountain View, California).
- percentage of sequence identity means the value determined by comparing two optimally aligned sequences over a comparison window, wherein the portion of the polynucleotide sequence in the comparison window may comprise additions or deletions (i.e., gaps) as compared to the reference sequence (which does not comprise additions or deletions) for optimal alignment of the two sequences. The percentage is calculated by determining the number of positions at which the identical nucleic acid base or amino acid residue occurs in both sequences to yield the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the window of comparison, and multiplying the result by 100 to yield the percentage of sequence identity.
- polynucleotide sequences means that a polynucleotide comprises a sequence that has at least 70% sequence identity, preferably at least 80%, more preferably at least 90%, and most preferably at least 95%, compared to a reference sequence using one of the alignment programs described using standard parameters.
- sequence identity preferably at least 80%, more preferably at least 90%, and most preferably at least 95%.
- nucleotide sequences are substantially identical if two molecules hybridize to each other under stringent conditions.
- stringent conditions are selected to be about 5°C lower than the thermal melting point (T m ) for the specific sequence at a defined ionic strength and pH.
- T m thermal melting point
- stringent conditions encompass temperatures in the range of about 1 °C to about 20°C lower than the T m , depending upon the desired degree of stringency as otherwise qualified herein.
- Nucleic acids that do not hybridize to each other under stringent conditions are still substantially identical if the polypeptides they encode are substantially identical. This may occur, e.g., when a copy of a nucleic acid is created using the maximum codon degeneracy permitted by the genetic code.
- One indication that two nucleic acid sequences are substantially identical is when the polypeptide encoded by the first nucleic acid is immunologically cross reactive with the polypeptide encoded by the second nucleic acid.
- substantially identical in the context of a peptide indicates that a peptide comprises a sequence with at least 70% sequence identity to a reference sequence, preferably 80%, more preferably 85%, most preferably at least 90% or 95% sequence identity to the reference sequence over a specified comparison window.
- optimal alignment is conducted using the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443- 453, (1970).
- An indication that two peptide sequences are substantially identical is that one peptide is immunologically reactive with antibodies raised against the second peptide.
- a peptide is substantially identical to a second peptide, for example, where the two peptides differ only by a conservative substitution.
- nucleotide sequences of the invention can be used to isolate corresponding sequences from other organisms, particularly other plants, more particularly other monocots. In this manner, methods such as PCR, hybridization, and the like can be used to identify such sequences based on their sequence homology to the sequences set forth herein. Sequences isolated based on their sequence identity to the entire REVOLUTA sequences set forth herein or to fragments thereof are encompassed by the present invention. Such sequences include sequences that are orthologs of the disclosed sequences.
- orthologs genes derived from a common ancestral gene and which are found in different species as a result of speciation. Genes found in different species are considered orthologs when their nucleotide sequences and/or their encoded protein sequences share substantial identity as defined elsewhere herein. Functions of orthologs are often highly conserved among species. Thus, isolated sequences that encode for a REVOLUTA protein and which hybridize under stringent conditions to the REVOLUTA sequences disclosed herein, or to fragments thereof, are encompassed by the present invention.
- oligonucleotide primers can be designed for use in PCR reactions to amplify corresponding DNA sequences from cDNA or genomic DNA extracted from any plant of interest.

- PCR Protocols A Guide to Methods and Applications (Academic Press, New York, (1990)); Innis and Gelfand, eds., PCR Strategies (Academic Press, New York (1995)); and Innis and Gelfand, eds., PCR Methods Manual (Academic Press, New York (1999)).
- Known methods of PCR include, but are not limited to, methods using paired primers, nested primers, single specific primers, degenerate primers, gene- specific primers, vector-specific primers, partially-mismatched primers, and the like.
- hybridization techniques all or part of a known nucleotide sequence is used as a probe that selectively hybridizes to other corresponding nucleotide sequences present in a population of cloned genomic DNA fragments or cDNA fragments (i.e., genomic or cDNA libraries) from a chosen organism.
- the hybridization probes may be genomic DNA fragments, cDNA fragments, RNA fragments, or other oligonucleotides, and may be labeled with a detectable group such as 32 P, or any other detectable marker.
- probes for hybridization can be made by labeling synthetic oligonucleotides based on the REVOLUTA sequences of the invention.
- the entire REVOLUTA sequence disclosed herein, or one or more portions thereof, may be used as a probe capable of specifically hybridizing to corresponding REVOLUTA sequences and messenger RNAs.
- probes include sequences that are unique among REVOLUTA sequences and are preferably at least about 10 nucleotides in length, and most preferably at least about 15, about 20 or about 50 nucleotides in length.
- probes may be used to amplify corresponding REVOLUTA sequences from a chosen plant by PCR. This technique may be used to isolate additional coding sequences from a desired plant or as a diagnostic assay to determine the presence of coding sequences in a plant.
- Hybridization techniques include hybridization screening of plated DNA libraries (either plaques or colonies; see, for example, Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (2d ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Plainview, New York (1989)). Hybridization of such sequences may be carried out under stringent conditions.
- stringent conditions or “stringent hybridization conditions” is intended conditions under which a probe will hybridize to its target sequence to a detectably greater degree than to other sequences (e.g., at least 2-fold over background).
- Stringent conditions are sequence-dependent and will be different in different circumstances.
- stringency conditions can be adjusted to allow some mismatching in sequences so that lower degrees of similarity are detected (heterologous probing).
- a probe is less than about 1000 nucleotides in length, preferably less than 500 nucleotides in length.
- stringent conditions will be those in which the salt concentration is less than about 1.5 M Na ion, typically about 0.01 to 1.0 M Na ion concentration (or other salts) at pH 7.0 to 8.3 and the temperature is at least about 30°C for short probes (e.g., 10 to 50 nucleotides) and at least about 60°C for long probes (e.g., greater than 50 nucleotides).
- Stringent conditions may also be achieved with the addition of destabilizing agents such as formamide.
- Exemplary moderate stringency conditions include hybridization in 40 to 45% formamide, 1.0 M NaCl, 1 % SDS at 37°C, and a wash in 0.5X to 1X SSC at 55 to 60°C.
- Exemplary high stringency conditions include hybridization in 50% formamide, 1 M NaCl, 1 % SDS at 37°C, and a wash in 0.1X SSC at 60 to 65°C.
- wash buffers may comprise about 0.1 % to about 1 % SDS. Duration of hybridization is generally less than about 24 hours, usually about 4 to about 12 hours.
- T m 81.5°C + 16.6 (log M) + 0.41 (%GC) - 0.61 (% form) - 500/L; where M is the molarity of monovalent cations, %GC is the percentage of guanosine and cytosine nucleotides in the DNA, % form is the percentage of formamide in the hybridization solution, and L is the length of the hybrid in base pairs.
- the T m is the temperature (under defined ionic strength and pH) at which 50% of a complementary target sequence hybridizes to a perfectly matched probe. T m is reduced by about 1°C for each 1% of mismatching; thus, T m , hybridization, and/or wash conditions can be adjusted to hybridize to sequences of the desired identity. For example, if sequences with >90% identity are sought, the T m can be decreased 10°C. Generally, stringent conditions are selected to be about 5°C lower than the thermal melting point (T m ) for the specific sequence and its complement at a defined ionic strength and pH.
- the REVOLUTA sequences of the present invention are predicted to limit the growth of meristem structures by regulating cell division in the meristem.
- fragments and variants of the REVOLUTA sequences that encode REVOLUTA polypeptides of the invention are not limited to retaining the native biological activity of the protein. It is recognized that the sequences of the invention encoding the REVOLUTA polypeptides may be modified such that expression of the polypeptide results in meristem development. Consequently, sequences encoding dominant-negative REVOLUTA polypeptide are encompassed by the present invention.
- the variants and fragment of the REVOLUTA polypeptide interfere with the function of the normal, endogenous REVOLUTA protein. Thus, the action of the endogenous REVOLUTA polypeptide can be block without inactivating the structural REVOLUTA gene sequence or its RNA.
- a fragment of a REVOLUTA nucleotide sequence that encodes a REVOLUTA polypeptide having dominate negative activity will encode at least 15, 25, 30, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 contiguous amino acids, or up to the total number of amino acids present in a full-length REVOLUTA protein of the invention.

Additionally, the promoter may be the natural sequence or alternatively a synthetic sequence. By “foreign” is intended that the transcriptional initiation region is not found in the native plant into which the transcriptional initiation region is introduced.
- a chimeric gene comprises a coding sequence operably linked to a transcription initiation region that is heterologous to the coding sequence.
- the native promoter sequences may be used. Such constructs would change expression levels of the REVOLUTA RNA/protein in the plant or plant cell. Thus, the phenotype of the plant or plant cell is altered.
- the termination region may be native with the transcriptional initiation region, may be native with the operably linked DNA sequence of interest, or may be derived from another source. Convenient termination regions are available from the Ti-plasmid of A. tumefaciens, such as the octopine synthase and nopaline synthase termination regions. See also Guerineau et al., Mol. Gen. Genet.

- the embryos are co-cultured for a time with the Agrobactehum (step 2: the co-cultivation step).
- the immature embryos are cultured on solid medium following the infection step.
- an optional "resting" step is contemplated.
- the embryos are incubated in the presence of at least one antibiotic known to inhibit the growth of Agrobactehum without the addition of a selective agent for plant transformants (step 3: resting step).
- the immature embryos are cultured on solid medium with antibiotic, but without a selecting agent, for elimination of Agrobactehum and for a resting phase for the infected cells.
- inoculated embryos are cultured on medium containing a selective agent and growing transformed callus is recovered (step 4: the selection step).
- the immature embryos are cultured on solid medium with a selective agent resulting in the selective growth of transformed cells.
- the callus is then regenerated into plants (step 5: the regeneration step), and preferably calli grown on selective medium are cultured on solid medium to regenerate the plants. Plants are monitored and scored for a modulation in meristem development. For instance, alterations of size and appearance of the shoot and floral meristems and/or increased yields of leaves, flowers, and/or fruits.
- REVOLUTA sequences operably linked to an ubiquitin promoter as follows. To induce somatic embryos, cotyledons, 3-5 mm in length dissected from surface- sterilized, immature seeds of the soybean cultivar A2872, are cultured in the light or dark at 26°C on an appropriate agar medium for six to ten weeks. Somatic embryos producing secondary embryos are then excised and placed into a suitable liquid medium. After repeated selection for clusters of somatic embryos that multiplied as early, globular-staged embryos, the suspensions are maintained as described below.
- Soybean embryogenic suspension cultures can maintained in 35 ml liquid media on a rotary shaker, 150 rpm, at 26°C with fluorescent lights on a 16:8 hour day/night schedule. Cultures are subcultured every two weeks by inoculating approximately 35 mg of tissue into 35 ml of liquid medium.
- Soybean embryogenic suspension cultures may then be transformed by the method of particle gun bombardment (Klein et al., Nature (London) 327:70-73, (1987), U.S. Patent No. 4,945,050).
- a Du Pont Biolistic PDS1000/HE instrument helium retrofit
- a selectable marker gene that can be used to facilitate soybean transformation is a transgene composed of the 35S promoter from Cauliflower Mosaic Virus (Odell et al., Nature 313:810-812, (1985)), the hygromycin phosphotransferase gene from plasmid pJR225 (from E. coli; Gritz et al, Gene 25:179-188, (1983)), and the 3' region of the nopaline synthase gene from the T-DNA of the Ti plasmid of Agrobactehum tumefaciens.
- the expression cassette comprising an antisense REVOLUTA sequence operably linked to the ubiquitin promoter can be isolated as a restriction fragment. This fragment can then be inserted into a unique restriction site of the vector carrying the marker gene.
- Approximately 300-400 mg of a two-week-old suspension culture is placed in an empty 60x15 mm petri dish and the residual liquid removed from the tissue with a pipette.
- approximately 5-10 plates of tissue are normally bombarded.
- Membrane rupture pressure is set at 1100 psi, and the chamber is evacuated to a vacuum of 28 inches mercury.
- the tissue is placed approximately 3.5 inches away from the retaining screen and bombarded three times. Following bombardment, the tissue can be divided in half and placed back into liquid and cultured as described above.
- the liquid media may be exchanged with fresh media, and eleven to twelve days post-bombardment with fresh media containing 50 mg/ml hygromycin. This selective media can be refreshed weekly.
- Green, transformed tissue may be observed growing from untransformed, necrotic embryogenic clusters. Isolated green tissue is removed and inoculated into individual flasks to generate new, clonally propagated, transformed embryogenic suspension cultures. Each new line may be treated as an independent transformation event. These suspensions can then be subcultured and maintained as clusters of immature embryos or regenerated into whole plants by maturation and germination of individual somatic embryos.
- Example 7 Sunflower Meristem Tissue Transformation
- Sunflower meristem tissues are transformed with an expression cassette containing an antisense REVOLUTA sequences operably linked to a ubiquitin promoter as follows (see also European Patent Number EP 0 486233, herein incorporated by reference, and Malone-Schoneberg et al, Plant Science 103:199- 207, (1994)).
- Mature sunflower seed (Helianthus annuus L.) are dehulled using a single wheat-head thresher. Seeds are surface sterilized for 30 minutes in a 20% Clorox bleach solution with the addition of two drops of Tween 20 per 50 ml of solution. The seeds are rinsed twice with sterile distilled water.
- Split embryonic axis explants are prepared by a modification of procedures described by Schrammeijer et al. (Schrammeijer et al, Plant Cell Rep. 9:55-60, (1990)). Seeds are imbibed in distilled water for 60 minutes following the surface sterilization procedure. The cotyledons of each seed are then broken off, producing a clean fracture at the plane of the embryonic axis. Following excision of the root tip, the explants are bisected longitudinally between the primordial leaves. The two halves are placed, cut surface up, on GBA medium consisting of Murashige and Skoog mineral elements (Murashige et al, Physiol.
- the explants are subjected to microprojectile bombardment prior to Agrobactehum treatment (Bidney et al, Plant Mol. Biol. 18:301-313, (1992)). Thirty to forty explants are placed in a circle at the center of a 60 X 20 mm plate for this treatment. Approximately 4.7 mg of 1.8 mm tungsten microprojectiles are resuspended in 25 ml of sterile TE buffer (10 mM Tris HCI, 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0) and 1.5 ml aliquots are used per bombardment. Each plate is bombarded twice through a 150 mm nytex screen placed 2 cm above the samples in a PDS 1000® particle acceleration device.
- a binary plasmid vector comprising the expression cassette that contains the REVOLUTA gene operably linked to the ubiquitin promoter is introduced into Agrobactehum strain EHA105 via freeze-thawing as described by Holsters et al.,Mol. Gen. Genet. 163:181-187, (1978).
- This plasmid further comprises a kanamycin selectable marker gene (i.e, nptll).
- Bacteria for plant transformation experiments are grown overnight (28°C and 100 RPM continuous agitation) in liquid YEP medium (10 gm/l yeast extract, 10 gm/l Bactopeptone, and 5 gm/l NaCl, pH 7.0) with the appropriate antibiotics required for bacterial strain and binary plasmid maintenance.
- the suspension is used when it reaches an OD600 of about 0.4 to 0.8.
- the Agrobactehum cells are pelleted and resuspended at a final OD600 of 0.5 in an inoculation medium comprised of 12.5 mM MES pH 5.7, 1 gm/l NH4CI, and 0.3 gm/l MgS ⁇ 4.
- Freshly bombarded explants are placed in an Agrobactehum suspension, mixed, and left undisturbed for 30 minutes. The explants are then transferred to GBA medium and co-cultivated, cut surface down, at 26°C and 18-hour days. After three days of co-cultivation, the explants are transferred to 374B (GBA medium lacking growth regulators and a reduced sucrose level of 1 %) supplemented with 250 mg/l cefotaxime and 50 mg/l kanamycin sulfate. The explants are cultured for two to five weeks on selection and then transferred to fresh 374B medium lacking kanamycin for one to two weeks of continued development.
- Explants with differentiating, antibiotic-resistant areas of growth that have not produced shoots suitable for excision are transferred to GBA medium containing 250 mg/l cefotaxime for a second 3-day phytohormone treatment.
- Leaf samples from green, kanamycin-resistant shoots are assayed for the presence of NPTII by ELISA and for the presence of transgene expression by assaying for a modulation in meristem development (i.e., an alteration of size and appearance of shoot and floral meristems).
- NPTII-positive shoots are grafted to Pioneer® hybrid 6440 in w ' fro-grown sunflower seedling rootstock. Surface sterilized seeds are germinated in 48-0 medium (half-strength Murashige and Skoog salts, 0.5% sucrose, 0.3% gelrite, pH
- An alternative sunflower transformation protocol allows the recovery of transgenic progeny without the use of chemical selection pressure. Seeds are dehulled and surface-sterilized for 20 minutes in a 20% Clorox bleach solution with the addition of two to three drops of Tween 20 per 100 ml of solution, then rinsed three times with distilled water. Sterilized seeds are imbibed in the dark at 26°C for 20 hours on filter paper moistened with water.
- the cotyledons and root radical are removed, and the meristem explants are cultured on 374E (GBA medium consisting of MS salts, Shepard vitamins, 40 mg/l adenine sulfate, 3% sucrose, 0.5 mg/l 6-BAP, 0.25 mg/l IAA, 0.1 mg/l GA, and 0.8% Phytagar at pH 5.6) for 24 hours under the dark.
- the primary leaves are removed to expose the apical meristem, around 40 explants are placed with the apical dome facing upward in a 2 cm circle in the center of 374M (GBA medium with 1.2% Phytagar), and then cultured on the medium for 24 hours in the dark.
- tungsten particles are resuspended in 150 ⁇ l absolute ethanol. After sonication, 8 ⁇ l of it is dropped on the center of the surface of macrocarrier. Each plate is bombarded twice with 650 psi rupture discs in the first shelf at 26 mm of Hg helium gun vacuum.
- the plasmid of interest is introduced into Agrobactehum tumefaciens strain EHA105 via freeze thawing as described previously.
- the pellet of overnight- grown bacteria at 28°C in a liquid YEP medium (10 g/l yeast extract, 10 g/l Bactopeptone, and 5 g/l NaCl, pH 7.0) in the presence of 50 ⁇ g/l kanamycin is resuspended in an inoculation medium (12.5 mM 2-mM 2-(N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid, MES, 1 g/l NH CI and 0.3 g/l MgS0 4 at pH 5.7) to reach a final concentration of 4.0 at OD 600.
- inoculation medium (12.5 mM 2-mM 2-(N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid, MES, 1 g/l NH CI and 0.3 g/l MgS0 4 at pH 5.7
- Particle-bombarded explants are transferred to GBA medium (374E), and a droplet of bacteria suspension is placed directly onto the top of the meristem.
- the explants are co-cultivated on the medium for 4 days, after which the explants are transferred to 374C medium (GBA with 1% sucrose and no BAP, IAA, GA3 and supplemented with 250 ⁇ g/ml cefotaxime).
- the plantlets are cultured on the medium for about two weeks under 16-hour day and 26°C incubation conditions.
- Explants (around 2 cm long) from two weeks of culture in 374C medium are screened for a modulation in meristem or plant organ or whole plant development (i.e., an alteration of size and appearance of shoot and floral meristems). After positive (i.e., an increase in REVOLUTA expression) explants are identified, those shoots that fail to exhibit an increase in REVOLUTA activity are discarded, and every positive explant is subdivided into nodal explants.
- One nodal explant contains at least one potential node.
- the nodal segments are cultured on GBA medium for three to four days to promote the formation of auxiliary buds from each node. Then they are transferred to 374C medium and allowed to develop for an additional four weeks.
- Recovered shoots positive for an increased REVOLUTA expression are grafted to Pioneer hybrid 6440 in ⁇ ro-grown sunflower seedling rootstock.
- the rootstocks are prepared in the following manner. Seeds are dehulled and surface- sterilized for 20 minutes in a 20% Clorox bleach solution with the addition of two to three drops of Tween 20 per 100 ml of solution, and are rinsed three times with distilled water. The sterilized seeds are germinated on the filter moistened with water for three days, then they are transferred into 48 medium (half-strength MS salt, 0.5% sucrose, 0.3% gelrite pH 5.0) and grown at 26°C under the dark for three days, then incubated at 16-hour-day culture conditions.
- the upper portion of selected seedling is removed, a vertical slice is made in each hypocotyl, and a transformed shoot is inserted into a V-cut.
- the cut area is wrapped with parafilm. After one week of culture on the medium, grafted plants are transferred to soil. In the first two weeks, they are maintained under high humidity conditions to acclimatize to a greenhouse environment.
