In order to create the Male Sterile Line in tobacco, the anti-sense fragment of HSP70 gene was linked to anther specific expression promoter TA29 and the reconstructed vector was transformed into tobacco by Agrobacterium mediated transformation, and the transformants were then screened. Gus and spot blotting hybridization analysis of the transformants indicated that anti-sense fragment of HSF70 gene had been integrated into tobacco genome and expressed, thus the male sterile tobacco line was obtained. Microscope observation of anther and pollen showed that pistils of transgenic tobacco were normal, whereas anthers and pollens were fairly abortive in the same transgenic tobacco flower, comparing with pistils and stamens in control plants. The ratio of HSI：＇70 protein before and after heat shock in mitochondrial was found to be 1.39 in control tobacco plants and 1.01 in transgenic tobacco sterile lines. This is suggested that the anti-sense gene fragment of HSP70 can effectively inhibit the expression of HSP70 protein and lead to transgenic male sterility in tobacco flowers. The assay provided a new genetic engineering method for male sterility creation in plants.
对反义MLPK基因在甘蓝柱头特异启动子SLR的驱动下,通过农杆菌介导转化法将其导入高度自交不亲和甘蓝材料‘TF’。转基因甘蓝T0代植株定量PCR分析结果显示,不同的转MLPK反义基因单株内源MLPK m RNA积累量具有明显差异,其中转基因植株花期柱头内源MLPK m RNA积累量明显低于野生型对照。花粉原位萌发的荧光显微镜观察结果显示,转基因甘蓝植株花期自交后,吸附在柱头上的花粉粒大量萌发,且穿过柱头的花粉管明显增加,并导致花期自交结籽数上升,转基因植株花期和蕾期自交亲和指数均明显高于野生型对照植株。结果表明,下调MLPK基因表达能部分打破甘蓝自交不亲和,提高其花期自交结籽能力。
