Definitions
- This invention relates to fertile transgenic plants of the species Zea mays (oftentimes referred to herein as maize or corn).
- the invention further relates to producing fertile transgenic plants via particle bombardment and subsequent selection techniques.
- Genetic engineering of plants which entails the isolation and manipulation of genetic material (usually in the form of DNA or RNA) and the subsequent introduction of that genetic material into a plant or plant cells, offers considerable promise to modern agriculture and plant breeding. Increased crop food values, higher yields, feed value, reduced production costs, pest resistance, stress tolerance, drought resistance, the production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals and biological molecules as well as other beneficial traits are all potentially achievable through genetic engineering techniques. Once a gene has been identified, cloned, and engineered, it is still necessary to introduce it into a plant of interest in such a manner that the resulting plant is both fertile and capable of passing the gene on to its progeny.
- Some of the techniques attempted, or proposed, for introducing DNA into corn cells include electroporation, microinjection, microprojectile bombardment, liposome fusion, Agrobacterium-mediated transfer, macroinjection, and exposure to naked DNA in solution.
- Microprojectile bombardment has been reported to yield transformed corn cells.
- the technique is disclosed in Sanford et al., Part. Sci. & Techn., 5, 27 (1987) as well as in published European patent application number 331,855 of J. C. Sanford et al. which is based upon U.S. Ser. No. 07/161,807, filed Feb. 29, 1988.
- Klein et al., Plant Physiol., 91, 440 (1989) describe production of transformed corn cells, using microprojectile bombardment.
- the cells used were not capable of regeneration into plants. Thus, no protocols have been published describing the introduction of DNA by a bombardment technique into cultures of regenerable maize cells of any type.
- Electroporation of corn protoplasts has been reported to result in transformed cells by M. E. Fromm et al., Nature, 319, 791 (1986) although these cells did not provide regenerated plants. Electroporation of corn protoplasts was also reported by C. Rhodes et al., Science, 240, 204 (1988). Although the recipient cells were transformed and, in the latter case, were able to regenerate into plants, the plants themselves were sterile. In addition, methods for the production of the cell line used by Rhodes et al. were not reproducible.
- a further stumbling block to the successful production of fertile transgenic maize plants has been in selecting those few transformants in such a manner that neither the regeneration capacity (in the case of protplasts or cell cultures) nor the fertility of the transformants are destroyed. Due to the generally low level of transformants produced by a transformation technique, some sort of selection procedure is often necessary. However, selection generally entails the use of some toxic agent, e.g., a herbicide or antibiotic, which may be detrimental to either the regenerability or the resultant plant fertility.
- some toxic agent e.g., a herbicide or antibiotic
- the present invention relates to fertile transgenic Zea mays plants containing recombinant DNA, preferably chromosomally integrated recombinant DNA, which is heritable by progeny thereof.
- the invention further relates to all products derived from transgenic Zea mays plants, plant cells, plant parts, and seeds.
- the invention further relates to transgenic Zea mays seeds stably containing recombinant DNA and progeny which have inherited the recombinant DNA.
- the invention further relates to the breeding of transgenic plants and the subsequent incorporation of recombinant DNA into any zea mays plant or line.
- the invention further relates to a process for producing fertile transgenic Zea mays plants containing recombinant DNA.
- the process is based upon microprojectile bombardment, selection, plant regeneration, and conventional backcrossing techniques.
- the invention further relates to a process for producing fertile transformed plants of graminaceous species other than Zea mays which have not been reliably transformed by traditional methods such as electroporation, Agrobacterium, injection, and previous ballistic techniques.
- the invention further relates to regenerated fertile mature maize plants obtained from transformed embryogenic tissue, transgenic seeds produced therefrom, and R1 and subsequent generations.
- a preferred embodiment of the present invention is a fertile, transgenic corn plant that has been stably transformed with a recombinant, chimeric gene which is expressed as a seed storage protein, e.g., as the 10 kD zein protein, so that the level of at least one amino acid is elevated above that present in the parent, nontransformed lines.
- Expression of multiple copies of said gene or over- expression thereof can substantially increase the whole kernel levels of certain amino acids, such as lysine, methionine, threonine and the like.
- the term “substantially increased” means that the level of a given amino acid is at least 10-20% above that present in the corresponding plant or plant part which has not been transformed with said seed storage protein gene.
- this invention produces the fertile, transgenic plants by means of a recombinant DNA-coated microprojectile bombardment of clumps of friable embryogenic callus, followed by a controlled regimen for selection of transformed callus lines.
- FIG. 1A shows a map of plasmid vector pHYGI1 utilized in EXAMPLE I.
- FIG. 1B shows the relevant part of linearized pHYGI1 encompassing the HPT coding sequence and associated regulatory elements.
- the base pair numbers start from the 5′ nucleotide in the recognition sequence for the indicated restriction enzymes, beginning with the EcoRI site at the 5′ end of the CaMV 35S promoter.
- FIG. 2A shows a map of plasmid vector pBII221 utilized in EXAMPLE I.
- FIG. 2B depicts linearized pBII221, e.g., from the HindIII cleavage site to the EcoRI cleavage site.
- FIG. 3 is a Southern blot of DNA isolated from the PH1 callus line and an untransformed control callus line, and a schematic depiction of the pHYGI1 probes used in the assay.
- FIG. 4 is a Southern blot of leaf DNA isolated from R0 plants regenerated from PH1 and untransformed callus, and a schematic depiction of the pHYGI1 probes used in the assay.
- FIG. 5 is a Southern blot of leaf DNA isolated from R1 progeny of PH1 R0 plants and untransformed R0 plants, and a schematic depiction of the pHYGI1 probes used in the assay.
- FIG. 6 is a Southern blot of DNA isolated from the PH2 callus line and an untransformed control callus line, and a schematic depiction of the pHYGI1 probes used in the assay.
- FIG. 7A shows a map of plasmid vector pZ27Z10 utilized in EXAMPLE II.
- FIG. 7B depicts linearized plasmid pZ27Z10 encompassing the z10 coding sequence and associated regulatory elements.
- FIG. 8 is a schematic depiction of the location of the PCR primers within the chimeric z27-z10 gene.
- the present invention is directed to the production of fertile transgenic plants and seeds of the species Zea mays and to the plants, plant tissues, and seeds derived from such transgenic plants, as well as the subsequent progeny and products derived therefrom, preferably those transgenic Zea mays plants having improved food or feed value.
- the transgenic plants produced herein include all plants of this species, including field corn, popcorn, sweet corn, flint corn and dent corn.
- Transgenic is used herein to include any cell, cell line, callus, tissue, plant part or plant, the genotype of which has been altered by the presence of recombinant DNA, which DNA has also been referred to in the art of genetic engineering as “heterologous DNA,” “exogenous DNA” or “foreign DNA,” wherein said DNA was introduced into the genotype by a process of genetic engineering, or which was initially introduced into the genotype of a parent plant by such a process and is subsequently transferred to later generations by sexual crosses or asexual propagation.
- “genotype” refers to the sum total of genetic material within a cell, either chromosomally, or extrachromosomally borne. Therefore, the term “transgenic” as used herein does not encompass the alteration of the genotype of Zea mays by conventional plant breeding methods or by naturally occurring events such as random cross-fertilization, viral infection or spontaneous mutation.
- the DNA is capable of transmission through at least one complete sexual cycle of a plant, i.e., it is passed from one plant through its gametes to its progeny plants.
- the transgenic plants of this invention may be produced by (i) establishing a regenerable cell culture, preferably a friable embryogenic callus, (ii) transforming said cell culture by a microprojectile bombardment technique, (iii) identifying or selecting transformed cells, and (iv) regenerating fertile transgenic plants from the transformed cells.
- Some of the plants of this invention may be produced from the transgenic seed produced from the fertile transgenic plants using conventional crossbreeding techniques to develop transgenic elite lines and varieties, or commercial hybrid seed containing recombinant DNA.
- the cells which have been found particularly useful to produce the fertile transgenic maize plants herein are those callus cells which are regenerable, both before and after undergoing a selection regimen as detailed further below.
- these cells will be derived from meristematic tissue which contains cells which have not yet terminally differentiated.
- tissue in graminaceous cereals in general and in maize in particular, comprise tissues found in juvenile leaf basal regions, immature tassels, immature embryos, and coleoptilar nodes.
- immature embryos are used.
- the specific callus used must be able to regenerate into a fertile plant.
- the specific regeneration capacity of particular callus is important to the success of the bombardment/selection process used herein because during and following selection, regeneration capacity may decrease significantly. It is therefore important to start with cultures that have as high a degree of regeneration capacity as possible. Callus which is more than about 3 months and up to about 36 months of age has been found to have a sufficiently high level of regenerability and thus is preferred.
- the regenerative capacity of a particular culture may be readily determined by transferring samples thereof to regeneration medium and monitoring the formation of shoots, roots, and plantlets. The relative number of plantlets arising per petri dish or per gram fresh weight of tissue may be used as a rough quantitative estimate of regeneration capacity. Generally, a culture which will produce at least one plant per gram of callus tissue is preferred.
- maize callus cultures can be initiated from a number of different plant tissues
- the cultures useful herein are preferably derived from immature maize embryos which are removed from the kernels of an ear when the embryos are about 1-3 mm in length. This length generally occurs about 9-14 days after pollination.
- the embryos are placed on conventional solid media with the embryo axis down (scutellum up).
- Callus tissue appears from the scutellum after several days to a few weeks.
- the cell proliferations from the scutellum may be evaluated for friable consistency and the presence of well-defined embryos.
- friable consistency it is meant that the tissue is easily dispersed without causing injury to the cells. Tissue with this morphology is then transferred to fresh media and subcultured on a routine basis about every two weeks. Sieving to reduce clumping and/or to increase cell surface area may be employed during the subculturing period.
- the callus initiation media is preferably solid.
- the initiation/maintenance media is typically based on the N6 salts of Chu et al. (1975) as described in Armstrong et al. (1985) or the MS salts of Murashige et al. (1962).
- the basal medium is supplemented with sucrose and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D).
- Supplements such as L-proline and casein hydrolysate have been found to improve the frequency of initiation of callus cultures, morphology, and growth.
- the cultures are generally maintained in the dark, though low light levels may also be used.
- the level of synthetic hormone 2,4-D, necessary for maintenance and propagation, should be generally about 0.3 to 3.0 mg/l.
- the liquid growth media for suspension cultures is of similar formulation to the solid callus induction media.
- ABA abcisic acid
- 10 ⁇ 7 M may be added to the liquid growth media to augment regenerative capacity and enhance culture vitality. It is preferred that the callus not be sieved prior to introduction into the liquid media.
- the cultures in liquid media are subcultured as appropriate for maintaining active growth and their regenerative properties.
- the cultures are subcultured once a week at a 1:8-9 dilution with fresh growth medium.
- recombinant DNA refers to DNA that has been derived or isolated from any source, that may be subsequently chemically altered, and later introduced into Zea mays .
- An example of recombinant DNA “derived” from a source would be a DNA sequence that is identified as a useful fragment within a given organism, and which is then chemically synthesized in essentially pure form.
- An example of such DNA “isolated” from a source would be a useful DNA sequence that is excised or removed from said source by chemical means, e.g., by the use of restriction endonucleases, so that it can be further manipulated, e.g., amplified, for use in the invention, by the methodology of genetic engineering.
- recombinant DNA includes completely synthetic DNA, semi-synthetic DNA, DNA isolated from biological sources, and DNA derived from introduced RNA.
- the recombinant DNA is not originally resident in the Zea mays genotype which is the recipient of the DNA, but it is within the scope of the invention to isolate a gene from a given Zea mays genotype, and to subsequently introduce multiple copies of the gene into the same genotype, e.g., to enhance production of a given gene product such as a storage protein.
- the recombinant DNA includes but is not limited to, DNA from plant genes, and non-plant genes such as those from bacteria, yeasts, animals or viruses; modified genes, portions of genes, chimeric genes, including genes from the same or different Zea mays genotype.
- the recombinant DNA used for transformation herein may be circular or linear, double-stranded or single-stranded.
- the DNA is in the form of chimeric DNA, such as plasmid DNA, that can also contain coding regions flanked by regulatory sequences which promote the expression of the recombinant DNA present in the resultant corn plant.
- the recombinant DNA may itself comprise or consist of a promoter that is active in Zea mays , or may utilize a promoter already present in the Zea mays genotype that is the transformation target.
- compositions of, and methods for, constructing recombinant DNA which can transform certain plants are well known to those skilled in the art, and the same compositions and methods of construction may be utilized to produce the DNA useful herein.
- the specific composition of the DNA is not central to the present invention and the invention is not dependent upon the composition of the specific recombinant DNA used.
- K. Weising et al., Ann. Rev. Genetics, 22, 421 (1988) describes suitable DNA components, selectable marker genes, reporter genes, enhancers, introns, and the like, as well as provides suitable references for compositions therefrom.
- the recombinant DNA will be relatively small, i.e., less than about 30 kb to minimize any susceptibility to physical, chemical, or enzymatic degradation which is known to increase as the size of the DNA increases.
- Suitable recombinant DNA for use herein includes all DNA which provides for, or enhances, a beneficial feature of the resultant transgenic corn plant.
- the DNA may encode proteins or antisense RNA transcripts in order to promote increased food values, higher yields, pest resistance, disease resistance, herbicide resistance, and the like.
- the DNA can encode a DHDP synthase, as does the dap A gene, for increased lysine production; Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), ⁇ -endotoxin or a protease inhibitor for insect resistance; bacterial EPSP synthase for resistance to glyphosate herbicide; and chitinase or glucan endo-1,3-p-glucosidase for fungicidal properties. Examples of suitable recombinant DNA are listed in Table 1, below.
- genes encoding proteins that contain high levels of essential amino acids are genes encoding proteins that contain high levels of essential amino acids.
- corn-soybean meal poultry feed is generally supplemented with synthetic methionine or a methionine analog.
- the development of lines of corn which supply higher levels of methionine can reduce the need for methionine supplements.
- the development of such high methionine corn lines can be accomplished by introducing into the corn genome a highly expressed gene or genes encoding a high-methionine protein.
- genes encoding high-methionine proteins include: 1.) the gene encoding a maize 15 kD-zein protein (11% methionine), (Pedersen et al., J. Biol. Chem., 261, 6279 (1986)); 2.) the gene encoding a Brazil nut storage protein (18% methionine), (Altenbach et al., Plant Mol. Biol., 8; 239 (1987)) and 3.) the gene encoding a maize 10 kD-zein protein (22.5% methionine), (Kirihara et al., Gene, 71, 359 (1988)).
- the preferred gene is the 10 kD-zein gene, since it is an endogenous maize gene whose protein product normally accumulates in the kernel and is twice as high in methionine than the 15 kD-zein protein.
- its coding sequence optionally may be fused to the regulatory sequence from a highly-expressed, seed-specific gene.
- introduction of additional copies of the intact endogenous 10 kD-zein gene into the corn genome can also increase the methionine content of corn seed.
- Lysine an amino acid essential in the diets of humans and monogastric animals, is among the three most limiting amino acids in most of the staple crops, the cereals in particular. Consequently, grain-based diets must be supplemented with synthetic lysine or with lysine-containing oilseed protein meals. Further, since most oilseed meals are themselves inadequate lysine sources, balancing the feed mixture for lysine frequently results in meals which are too high in other, less desirable nutrients. Therefore, a method to increase the lysine content of either the cereal grains or the oilseed crops or both would result in significant added nutritional value, as well as a significant cost savings to end-users such as the swine and poultry producers.
- the dap A gene of Escherichia coli encodes dihydrodipicolinic acid synthase (DHDPS), a key regulatory enzyme whose activity in plants is strongly feedback-inhibited by lysine.
- the bacterial enzyme is about 200-fold less sensitive to inhibition by lysine.
- the introduction and expression of the dap A gene in plant cells would allow the synthesis of free lysine to continue after the native plant DHDPS has been completely inhibited.
- the major insect pests of corn include a variety of Lepidoptera pests such as the European corn borer, cutworms and earworms as well as Coleoptera species such as Diabrotica spp.
- the protection of corn against insect attack is expensive to the grower and requires the use of toxic chemical insecticides applied in a timely manner.
- Essential components of the present invention are the introduction of the insect resistance gene into the corn cell, mitotic application of the gene so that the gene is incorporated into whole corn plants and is ultimately inherited by subsequent offspring of the plant via the processes of mitotic and meiotic division.
- Bacillus thuringiensis (or “Bt”) bacteria include nearly 20 known subspecies of bacteria which produce endotoxin polypeptides that are toxic when ingested by a wide variety of insect species.
- the biology and molecular biology of the endotoxin proteins (Bt proteins) and corresponding genes (Bt genes) has been reviewed recently by H. R. Whitely et al., Ann. Rev. Microbiol., 40, 549 (1986) and by H. Hofte et al., Microbiol. Rev., 53, 242 (1989). Genes coding for a variety of Bt proteins have been cloned and sequenced.
- DNA coding for new, previously uncharacterized Bt toxins may be cloned from the host Bacillus organism using protocols that have previously been used to clone Bt genes. These include the construction of a bank of DNA isolated from the Bacillus organism in a suitable plasmid or phage vector replicated in a suitable host and the use of antibodies, raised against the Bt protein or DNA isolated from a homologous Bt gene sequence, to identify transformants that contain the cloned Bt sequence. The approximate location of the Bt coding sequence may be initially determined using deletion analysis of the cloned DNA.
- the precise location of the Bt coding sequence could be determined using a variety of standard methods, including the determination of the sequence of the cloned segment of DNA, determining the presence of large open reading frames in this sequence that could code for the Bt protein and confirmation of the Bt coding nature of the DNA sequence by comparing the amino acid sequence derived from the DNA sequence with that derived from partial amino acid sequencing of the Bt protein.
- a chimeric Bt gene useful in the present invention would comprise a 5′ DNA sequence, comprising a sequence of DNA which will allow for the initiation of transcription (“promoter”) and translation of a downstream located Bt sequence in a corn plant.
- the chimeric Bt gene would also comprise a 3′ DNA sequence that includes a sequence derived from the 3′ non-coding region of a gene that can be expressed in corn.
- the chimeric Bt gene will include a DNA sequence coding for a toxic Bt polypeptide produced by Bacillus thuringiensis or toxic portions thereof or having substantial amino sequence homology thereto.
- the Bt coding sequence would include: (i) DNA sequences which code for insecticidally active proteins that have substantial homology to Bt endotoxins that are active against insect pests of corn, e.g., the HD73 or HD1 Bt sequences; (ii) sequences coding for insecticidally active segments of the Bt endotoxin polypeptide, e.g., insecticidally active HD73 or HD1 polypeptides truncated from the carboxy and/or amino termini; (iii) a truncated Bt sequence fused in frame with a sequence(s) that codes for a polypeptide that provides some additional advantage such as: (a) genes that are selectable, e.g., genes that confer resistance to antibiotics or herbicides, (b) reporter genes whose products are easy to detect or assay, e.g., luciferase or beta-glucuronidase; (c) DNA sequences that code for polypeptide sequences that have some additional use in stabilizing
- the expression of the Bt gene in maize cells can be improved by the replacement of these rarely used Bacillus codons with those that are used more frequently in maize plants (See E. Murray et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 17, 477 (1989)). Such replacement of codons would require the substitution of bases without changing the amino acid sequence of the resulting Bt polypeptide.
- the Bt polypeptide would be identical in sequence to the bacterial gene or segments thereof.
- the complete Bt coding sequence, or sections thereof, containing a higher proportion of maize preferred codons than the original bacterial gene could be synthesized using standard chemical synthesis protocols, and introduced or assembled into the Bt gene using standard protocols, such as site-directed mutagenesis or DNA polymerization and ligation and the like.
- useful recombinant DNA may be untranscribed, serving a regulatory or a structural function. Also, the DNA may be introduced to act as a genetic tool to generate mutants and/or assist in the identification, genetic tagging, or isolation of segments of corn DNA. Additional examples may be found in Weising, cited supra.
- the recombinant DNA to be introduced into the plant cells further will generally contain either a selectable marker or a reporter gene or both to facilitate identification and selection of transformed cells.
- the selectable marker may be carried on a separate piece of DNA and used in a co-transformation procedure.
- Both selectable markers and reporter genes may be flanked with appropriate regulatory sequences to enable expression in plants.
- Useful selectable markers are well known in the art and include, for example, antibiotic and herbicide resistance genes.
- selectable marker genes are disclosed in Weising et al., cited supra.
- a preferred selectable marker gene is the hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT) coding sequence, which may be derived from E. coli and which confers resistance to the antibiotic hygromycin B.
- HPT hygromycin phosphotransferase
- selectable markers include the aminoglycoside phosphotransferase gene of transposon Tn5 (AphII) which encodes resistance to the antibiotics kanamycin, neomycin and G418, as well as those genes which code for resistance or tolerance to glyphosate, 2,2-dichloropropionic acid, methotrexate, imidazolinone herbicides, sulfonylurea herbicides, bromoxynil, phosphinothricin and other herbicidal compounds.
- glyphosate 2,2-dichloropropionic acid, methotrexate, imidazolinone herbicides, sulfonylurea herbicides, bromoxynil, phosphinothricin and other herbicidal compounds.
- selectable marker genes which confer resistance or tolerance to these phytotoxic compounds are also of commercial utility in the resulting transformed plants. Selectable marker genes encoding enzymes which impart resistance to phytotoxic compounds are listed in Table 2, below

- Reporter genes are used for identifying potentially transformed cells and for evaluating the functionality of regulatory sequences. Reporter genes which encode for easily assayable marker proteins are well known in the art. In general, a reporter gene is a gene which is not present in or expressed by the recipient organism or tissue and which encodes a protein whose expression is manifested by some easily detectable property, e.g., phenotypic change or enzymatic activity. Examples of such genes are provided in Weising et al., supra. Preferred genes include the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase gene (cat) from Tn9 of E. coli, the beta-glucuronidase gene (gus) of the uida locus of E.
- GUS E. coli beta-glucuronidase
- Maize cells transformed and expressing this gene will stain blue upon exposure to the substrate, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-D-glucuronide (X-GLUC), in the extracellular medium.
- the regulatory sequences useful herein include any constitutive, inducible, tissue or organ specific, or developmental stage specific promoter which can be expressed in the particular plant cell. Suitable such promoters are disclosed in Weising et al., supra. The following is a partial representative list of promoters suitable for use herein: regulatory sequences from the T-DNA of Aarobacterium tumefaciens, including mannopine synthase, nopaline synthase, and octopine synthase; alcohol dehydrogenase promoter from corn; light-inducible promoters such as the ribulose-bisphosphate-carboxylase/oxygenase small subunit genes from a variety of species; and the major chlorophyll a/b binding protein gene promoters; 35S and 19S promoters of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV); developmentally regulated promoters such as the waxy, zein, or bronze promoters from maize; as well as synthetic or other natural promoters which are either
- introns may also be a part of the recombinant DNA.
- Such elements may or may not be necessary for the function of the DNA, but may provide improved expression of the DNA by affecting transcription, stability of the MRNA, or the like.
- Such elements may be included in the DNA as desired to obtain the optimal performance of the transforming DNA in the plant.
- the maize AdhIS first intron may be placed between the promoter and the coding sequence in a particular recombinant DNA construction. This intron, when included in a DNA construction, is known to increase production of a protein in maize cells. (J. Callis et al., Genes and Develop., 1, 1183 (1987)).
- the recombinant DNA can be introduced into the regenerable maize cell cultures, preferably into callus cultures via a particle bombardment process.
- a general description of a suitable particle bombardment instrument is provided in Sanford et al. (1987), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. While protocols for the use of the instrument in the bombardment of maize non-regenerable suspension culture cells are described in Klein et al. (1988a, 1988b, and 1989), no protocols have been published for the bombardment of callus cultures or regenerable maize cells.
- a microprojectile bombardment process also referred to as a biolistic process
- the transport of the recombinant DNA into the callus is mediated by very small particles of a biologically inert material.
- the inert particles are coated with DNA and accelerated to a suitable velocity, one or more of the particles is able to enter into one or more of the cells where the DNA is released from the particle and expressed within the cell.
- Some of the recipient cells stably retain the introduced DNA and express it.
- microprojectiles are generally of a high density material such as tungsten or gold. They are coated with the DNA of interest.
- the microprojectiles are then placed onto the surface of a macroprojectile which serves to transfer the motive force from a suitable energy source to the microprojectiles. After the macroprojectile and the microprojectiles are accelerated to the proper velocity, they contact a blocking device which prevents the macroprojectile from continuing its forward path but allows the DNA-coated microprojectiles to continue on and impact the recipient callus cells.
- Suitable such instruments may use a variety of motive forces such as gunpowder or shock waves from an electric arc discharge (P. Christou et al., Plant Physiol., 87, 671 (1988)). An instrument in which gunpowder is the motive force is currently preferred and such is described and further explained in Sanford et al. (1987), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- a protocol for the use of the gunpowder instrument is provided in Klein et al. (1988a,b) and involves two major steps.
- tungsten microprojectiles are mixed with the DNA, calcium chloride, and spermidine in a specified order in an aqueous solution.
- concentrations of the various components may be varied as taught.
- the preferred procedure entails exactly the procedure of Klein et al. (1988b) except for doubling the stated optimum DNA concentration.
- the DNA-coated microprojectiles, macroprojectiles, and recipient cells are placed in position in the instrument and the motive force is applied to the macroprojectiles. Parts of this step which may be varied include the distance of the recipient cells from the end of the barrel as well as the vacuum level in the sample chamber.
- the recipient tissue is positioned 2-15, preferably 5 cm below the stopping plate tray.
- the callus cultures useful herein for generation of transgenic plants should generally be about midway between transfer periods, and thus, past any “lag” phase that might be associated with a transfer to a new media, but also before reaching any “stationary” phase associated with an extended period of time without subculture to fresh media.
- the tissue may be used in the form of pieces of about 30 to 80, preferably about 40 to 60, mg.
- the clumps can be placed on a petri dish or other surface and arranged in essentially any manner, recognizing that (i) the space in the center of the dish will receive the heaviest concentration of metal-DNA particles and the tissue located there is likely to suffer damage during bombardment and, (ii) the number of particles reaching the tissue will decrease with increasing distance of the tissue from the center of the blast so that the tissue far from the center of the dish is less likely to be bombarded.
- a mesh screen preferably of metal, may be laid on the dish to prevent splashing or ejection of the tissue.
- An alternative method for presentation of the tissue for bombardment is to spread the tissue onto a filter paper in a thin layer. The tissue may be bombarded one or more times with the DNA-coated metal particles.
- the transformed calli or plants regenerated therefrom can be screened for the presence of the recombinant DNA by various standard methods which could include assays for the expression of reporter genes or assessment of phenotypic effects of the recombinant DNA, if any.
- those cells of the callus which have been transformed can be identified by the use of a selective agent to detect expression of the selectable marker gene.
- Selection of the putative transformants is a critical part of the successful transformation process since selection conditions must be chosen so as to allow growth and accumulation of the transformed cells while simultaneously inhibiting the growth of the non-transformed cells.
- the situation is complicated by the fact that the vitality of individual cells in a population is often highly dependent on the vitality of neighboring cells.
- the selection conditions must not be so severe that the plant regeneration capacity of the callus cells and the fertility of the resulting plant are precluded.
- the effects of the selection agent on cell viability and morphology should be evaluated. This may be accomplished by experimentally producing a growth inhibition curve for the given selective agent and tissue being transformed before-hand. This will establish the concentration range which will inhibit growth.
- the callus clumps may be either allowed to recover from the bombardment on non-selective media, or preferably, directly transferred to media containing the selection agent.
- Selection procedures involve exposure to a toxic agent and may employ sequential changes in the concentration of the agent and multiple rounds of selection.
- concentrations and cycle lengths are likely to need to be varied for each particular agent.
- a currently preferred selection procedure entails using an initial selection round at a relatively low toxic agent concentration and then later round(s) at higher concentration(s). This allows the selective agent to exert its toxic effect slowly over a longer period of time.
- the concentration of the agent is initially such that about a 5-40% level of growth inhibition will occur, as determined from a growth inhibition curve.
- the effect may be to allow the transformed cells to preferentially grow and divide while inhibiting untransformed cells, but not to the extent that growth of the untransformed cells is prevented.
- the tissue may be shifted to media containing a higher concentration of the toxic agent to kill essentially all untransformed cells.
- the shift to the higher concentration also reduces the possibility of nontransformed cells adapting to the agent.
- the higher level is preferably in the range of about 30 to 100% growth inhibition.
- the length of the first selection cycle may be from about 1 to 4 weeks, preferably about 2 weeks. Later selection cycles may be from about 1 to 12 weeks, preferably about 2 to 10 weeks.
- Putative maize transformants can generally be identified as proliferating sectors of tissue among a background of non-proliferating cells.
- the callus may also be cultured on non-selective media at various times during the overall selection procedure.
- phenotypic and/or genotypic analysis can be confirmed by phenotypic and/or genotypic analysis.
- a selection agent is used, an example of phenotypic analysis is to measure the increase in fresh weight of the putative transformant as compared to a control on various levels of the selective agent.
- Other analyses that may be employed will depend on the function of the recombinant DNA. For example, if an enzyme or protein is encoded by the DNA, enzymatic or immunological assays specific for the particular enzyme or protein may be used. Other gene products may be assayed by using a suitable bioassay or chemical assay. Other such techniques are well known in the art and are not repeated here. The presence of the gene can also be confirmed by conventional procedures, i.e., Southern blot or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or the like.
- PCR polymerase chain reaction
- Cell lines which have been shown to be transformed must then be regenerated into plants and the fertility of the resultant plants determined.
- Transformed lines which test positive by genotypic and/or phenotypic analysis are then placed on a medium which promotes tissue differentiation and plant regeneration.
- Regeneration may be carried out in accordance with standard procedures well known in the art. The procedures commonly entail reducing the level of auxin which discontinues proliferation of a callus and promotes somatic embryo development or other tissue differentiation.
- One example of such a regeneration procedure is described in Green et al. (1982). The plants are grown to maturity in a growth room or greenhouse and appropriate sexual crosses are made as described by Neuffer (1982).
- Regeneration while important to the present invention, may be performed in any conventional manner. If a selectable marker has been transformed into the cells, the selection agent may be incorporated into the regeneration media to further confirm that the regenerated plantlets are transformed. Since regeneration techniques are well known and not critical to the present invention, any technique which accomplishes the regeneration and produces fertile plants may be used.
- the plants regenerated from the transformed callus are referred to as the R0 generation or R0 plants.
- the seeds produced by various sexual crosses of the R0 generation plants are referred to as R1 progeny or the R1 generation.
- R1 progeny When R1 seeds are germinated, the resulting plants are also referred to as the R1 generation.
- the R1 generation should be analyzed to confirm the presence of the transforming DNA.
- the analysis may be performed in any of the manners such as were disclosed above for analyzing the bombarded callus for evidence of transformation, taking into account the fact that plants and plant parts are being used in place of the callus.
- the recombinant DNA can show different types of inheritance patterns for different transformed lines.
- the recombinant DNA may be inherited in the progeny according to the rules of Mendelian inheritance. This type of heritability involves transmission of the DNA through both the male and female gametes and is associated with stable integration or incorporation into maize nuclear DNA.
- An alternative type of inheritance pattern is maternal inheritance, in which the recombinant DNA is transmitted primarily or exclusively through the female gametes.
- the inheritance pattern for a particular transformant may be ascertained by analysis of the progeny of various sexual crosses.
- Fertile, transgenic plants may then be used in a conventional maize breeding program in order to incorporate the introduced recombinant DNA into the desired lines or varieties.
- Methods and references for convergent improvement of corn are given by Hallauer et al., (1988) incorporated herein by reference.
- conversion process backcrossing. Briefly, conversion is performed by crossing the initial transgenic fertile plant to elite inbred lines. The progeny from this cross will segregate such that some of the plants will carry the recombinant DNA whereas some will not. The plants that do carry the DNA are then crossed again to the elite inbred lines resulting in progeny which segregate once more.
- This backcrossing process is repeated until the original elite inbred has been converted to a line containing the recombinant DNA, yet possessing all important attributes originally found in the parent. Generally, this will require about 6-8 generations. A separate backcrossing program will be generally used for every elite line that is to be converted to a genetically engineered elite line.
- the commercial value of the transformed corn produced herein will be greatest if the recombinant DNA can be incorporated into many different hybrid combinations.
- a farmer typically grows several hybrids based on differences in maturity, standability, and other agronomic traits. Also, the farmer must select a hybrid based upon his or her geographic location since hybrids adapted to one region are generally not adapted to another because of differences in such traits as maturity, disease, and insect resistance. As such, it is necessary to incorporate the recombinant DNA into a large number of parental lines so that many hybrid combinations can be produced containing the desirable heterologous DNA.
- transgenic plants produced herein are expected to be useful for a variety of commercial and research purposes.
- Transgenic plants can be created for use in traditional agriculture to possess traits beneficial to the grower (e.g., agronomic traits such as pest resistance, herbicide resistance or increased yield), beneficial to the consumer of the grain harvested from the plant (e.g., improved nutritive content in human food or animal feed), or beneficial to the food processor (e.g., improved processing traits).
- the plants are generally grown for the use of their grain in human or animal foods.
- other parts of the plants, including stalks, husks, vegetative parts, and the like may also have utility, including use as part of animal silage or for ornamental purposes.
- chemical constituents (e.g., oils or starches) of corn and other crops are extracted for foods or industrial use and transgenic plants may be created which have enhanced or modified levels of such components.
- Transgenic plants may also find use in the commercial manufacture of proteins or other molecules, where the molecule of interest is extracted or purified from plant parts, seeds, and the like.
- Cells or tissue from the plants may also be cultured, grown in vitro, or fermented to manufacture such molecules.
- transgenic plants may also be used in commercial breeding programs, or may be crossed or bred to plants of related crop species. Improvements encoded by the recombinant DNA may be transferred, e.g., from corn cells to cells of other species, e.g., by protoplast fusion.
- the transgenic plants may have many uses in research or breeding, including creation of new mutant plants through insertional mutagenesis, in order to identify beneficial mutants that might later be created by traditional mutation and selection.
- An example would be the introduction of a recombinant DNA sequence encoding a transposable element that may be used for generating genetic variation.
- the methods of the invention may also be used to create plants having unique “signature sequences” or other marker sequences which can be used to identify proprietary lines or varieties.
- Friable, embryogenic maize callus cultures were initiated from hybrid immature embryos produced by pollination of inbred line A188 plants (University of Minnesota, Crop Improvement Association) with pollen of inbred line B73 plants (Iowa State University). Ears were harvested when the embryos had reached a length of 1.5 to 2.0 mm. Each ear was surface sterilized in 50% v/v commercial bleach (2.63% w/v sodium hypochlorite) for 20 min. at room temperature. The ears were then washed with sterile, distilled, deionized water. Immature embryos were aseptically isolated and placed on nutrient initiation/maintenance medium with the root/shoot axis exposed to the medium.
- Initiation/maintenance medium (hereinafter referred to as “F medium”) consisted of N6 basal media (Chu 1975) with 2% (w/v) sucrose, 1.5 mg per liter 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 6 mM proline, and 0.25% Gelrite (Kelco, Inc., San Diego). The pH was adjusted to 5.8 prior to autoclaving. Unless otherwise stated, all tissue culture manipulations were carried out under sterile conditions.
- the immature embryos were incubated at 260C in the dark.
- Cell proliferations from the scutellum of the immature embryos were evaluated for friable consistency and the presence of well-defined somatic embryos.
- Tissue with this morphology was transferred to fresh media 10 to 14 days after the initial plating of the immature embryos.
- the tissue was then subcultured on a routine basis every 14 to 21 days.
- Sixty to eighty milligram quantities of tissue were removed from pieces of tissue that had reached a size of approximately one gram and were transferred to fresh media.
- Subculturing always involved careful visual monitoring to be sure that only tissue of the correct morphology was maintained.
- the presence of somatic embryos ensured that the cultures would give rise to plants under & the proper conditions.
- the cell culture named AB12 used in this example was such a culture and had been initiated about 1 year before bombardment.
- the plasmid pHYGI1 was constructed in the vector pBS+ (Stratagene, Inc., San Diego, Calif.), a 3.2 Kb circular plasmid, using standard recombinant DNA techniques.
- the 553 bp Bcl-BamHI fragment containing the maize AdhIS first intron (Callis et al. 1987) was inserted between the CaMV 35S promoter and the hygromycin coding sequence of pCHN1-1, a plasmid constructed in accord with Example V.
- a map of pHYGI1 is provided as FIG. 1.
- a sample of pHYGI1 was deposited at the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Md., USA, on Mar. 16, 1990, under the provisions of the Budapest Treaty, and assigned accession number 40774.
- pBII221 contains the E. coli P-glucuronidase coding sequence flanked at the 5′ end by the CAMV 35S promoter and at the 3′ end by the nos polyadenylation sequence.
- the plasmid was constructed by inserting the maize AdhIS first intron between the 35S promoter and the coding sequence of pBI221 (Jefferson et al. 1987).
- a map of pBII221 is provided as FIG. 2 .
- Plasmids were introduced into the embryogenic callus culture AB12 by microprojectile bombardment.
- the embryogenic maize callus line AB12 was subcultured 7 to 12 days prior to microprojectile bombardment.
- AB12 callus was prepared for bombardment as follows. Five clumps of callus, each approximately 50 mg in wet weight were arranged in a cross pattern in the center of a sterile 60 ⁇ 15 mm petri plate (Falcon 1007). Plates were stored in a closed container with moist paper towels, throughout the bombardment process. Twelve plates were prepared.
- Plasmids were coated onto M-10 tungsten particles (Biolistics) exactly as described by Klein et al. (1988b) except that, (i) twice the recommended quantity of DNA was used, (ii) the DNA precipitation onto the particles was performed at 0° C, and (iii) the tubes containing the DNA-coated tungsten particles were stored on ice throughout the bombardment process.
- All of the tubes contained 25 ⁇ l of 50 mg/ml M-10 tungsten in water, 25 ⁇ l of 2.5 M CaCl 2 , and 10 ⁇ l of 100 mM spermidine along with a total of 5 ⁇ l of 1 mg/ml plasmid DNA. When both plasmids were used, each was present in an amount of 2.5 ⁇ l.
- One tube contained only plasmid pBII221; and one tube contained T.E. buffer (see Table 2, below).
- Macroprojectiles and stopping plates were obtained from Biolistics, Inc. (Ithaca, N.Y.). They were sterilized as described by the supplier. The microprojectile bombardment instrument was obtained from Biolistics, Inc.
- the sample plate tray was placed 5 cm below the bottom of the stopping plate tray of the microprojectile instrument, with the stopping plate in the slot nearest to the barrel. Plates of callus tissue prepared as described above were centered on the sample plate tray and the petri dish lid removed. A 7 ⁇ 7 cm square rigid wire mesh with 3 ⁇ 3 mm mesh and made of galvanized steel was placed over the open dish in order to retain the tissue during the bombardment. Tungsten/DNA preparations were sonicated as described by Biolistics, Inc. and 2.5 ⁇ l of the suspensions were pipetted onto the top of the macroprojectiles for each bombardment. The instrument was operated as described by the manufacturer. The bombardments which were performed are summarized on Table 3.
- the two plates of callus bombarded with pBII221 were transferred plate for plate to F medium (with no hygromycin) and the callus cultured at 26° C. in the dark. After 2 days, this callus was then transferred plate for plate into 35 ⁇ 10 mm petri plates (Falcon 1008) containing 2 ml of GUS assay buffer (1 mg/ml of 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-D-glucuronide) (Research Organics), 100 mM sodium phosphate pH 7.0, 5 mM each of potassium ferricyanide and potassium ferrocyanide, 10 mM EDTA, and 0.06% Triton X-100. The plates were incubated at 37° C.
- Hygromycin B (Calbiochem) was incorporated into the medium prior to pouring plates by addition of the appropriate volume of filter-sterilized 100 mg/ml hygromycin B dissolved in water, when the medium had cooled to 45° C.
- callus from all of the plates treated with pHYGI1/pBII221, and two of the T.E. plates was transferred plate for plate onto F medium containing 15 mg/l hygromycin B, (ten pieces of callus per plate). These are referred to as round 1 selection plates.
- Callus from the T.E. treated plate was transferred to F medium without hygromycin. This tissue was subcultured every 2-3 weeks onto nonselective medium and is referred to as unselected control callus.
- round 3 selection plates containing 60 mg/l hygromycin. After 79 days post-bombardment, the round 3 sets of selection plates were checked for viable sectors of callus. One of the sectors was proliferating from a background of necrotic tissue on plates treated with pHYGI1/pBII221. The sector was designated PH3 and was transferred to F medium without hygromycin.
- PH3 was transferred to F-medium containing 60 mg/l hygromycin. PH3 was found to be capable of sustained growth through multiple subcultures in the presence of 60 mg/l hygromycin.
- genomic DNA was isolated from PH3 callus and unselected control callus in accord with Example V, and analyzed by Southern blotting.
- the isolated DNA (10 ⁇ g) was digested with BamHI (NEB) and electrophoresed in a 0.8% w/v agarose gel at 15 V for 16 hrs in TAE buffer (40 mM Tris-acetate, pH 7.6, 1 mM EDTA).
- TAE buffer 40 mM Tris-acetate, pH 7.6, 1 mM EDTA.
- the DNA was transferred to a Nytran membrane (Schleicher and Schuell). Transfer, hybridization and washing conditions were carried out as per the manufacturer's recommendations.
- a 32 p labelled probe was prepared by random primer labelling with an Oligo Labelling Kit (Pharmacia) as per the supplier's Instructions with a- 32 P-dCTP (ICN Radio-chemicals).
- the template DNA used was the 1055 bp BamHI fragment of pHYGI1, which contains the entire HPT coding sequence.
- Membranes were exposed to Kodak X-OMAT AR film in an X-OMATIC cassette with intensifying screens. A band was observed for PH3 callus at the expected position of 1.05 Kb, indicating that the HPT coding sequence was present. No band was observed for control callus.
- PH3 callus Portions of PH3 callus were transferred directly from plates containing 60 mg/l hygromycin to RM5 medium which consists of MS basal salts (Murashige et al. 1962) supplemented with thiamine.HCl 0.5 mg/l, 2,4-D 0.75 mg/l, sucrose 50 g/l, asparagine 150 mg/l, and Gelrite 2.5 g/l (Kelco Inc., San Diego).
- RM5 medium After 14 days on RM5 medium, the majority of PH3 and unselected control callus was transferred to R5 medium (RM5 medium, except that 2,4-D is omitted). The plates were cultured in the dark for 7 days at 26° C. and transferred to a light regime of 14 hrs light and 10 hrs dark for 14 days at 26° C. At this point, plantlets that had formed were transferred to one quart canning jars (Ball) containing 100 ml of R5 medium. Plants were transferred from jars to vermiculite for 7 or 8 days before transplanting them into soil and growing them to maturity. A total of 45 plants were produced from PH3 and a total of 10 plants were produced from control callus.
- Controlled pollinations of mature PH3 plants were conducted by standard techniques with inbred Zea mays lines MBS501 (Mike Brayton Seeds), FR4326 (Illinois Foundation Research) and the proprietary inbred line LM1112. Seed was harvested 45 days post-pollination and allowed to dry further for 1-2 weeks.

- Root samples (0.2 g) were excised from 7-10 day old seedlings and were quick frozen in liquid nitrogen (N 2 ). Samples were ground with alumina and 400 ⁇ l of EB (50 mM Tris-HCl, 10% v/v glycerol, 0.1 mM PMSF, pH 7.0) for 30-60 seconds using a disposable pestle and tube (Kontes), then centrifuged in an Eppendorf microfuge for 10 min. The supernatant was transferred to a Centricon 30 filter unit and desalted by centrifuging in a fixed angle rotor at 5000 rpm in a Beckman GPR centrifuge for 30 min at 4° C.
- EB liquid nitrogen
- Protein was quantified using the method of Bradford, Anal. Biochem., 72, 248 (1976) with a BioRad kit. Protein concentrations in root extracts ranged from 0.2-2 ⁇ g/ ⁇ l.
- the root extract (4 pg total protein) was added to a reaction mixture containing 20 mM Tris-maleate, 13 mM MgCl 2 , 120 mM NH 4 Cl, 0.5 mM DTT, 50 ⁇ M ATP, 0.61 ⁇ g/ ⁇ l hygromycin B, 25 pg/pl bovine serum albumin, and 12 ⁇ Ci gamma 32P-ATP. Reaction volume was 33 ⁇ l. The reaction mixture was incubated for 30 min at 37° C.
- reaction mixture was spotted on a polyethyleneimine cellulose thin layer chromatography plate (Sigma Chem. Co.). Plates were developed in 50 mM formic acid pH 5.4, air dried, and exposed to Kodak XAR-5 film. The reaction product, hygromycin phosphate, migrates near the solvent front under these conditions.
- PCR assay 0.1 g samples were taken from plant tissues and frozen in liquid nitrogen. Samples were then ground with 120 grit carborundum in 200 ⁇ l 0.1M Tris-HCl, O.1M NaCl, 20 mM EDTA, 1% Sarkosyl pH 8.5) at 4° C. Following phenol/chloroform extraction and ethanol and isopropanol precipitations, samples were suspended in T.E. and analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (K. B. Mullis, U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,202).
- PCR was carried out in 100 ⁇ l volumes in 50 mM KCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.4, 3 mM MgCl 2 , 100 ⁇ g/ml gelatin, 0.25 ⁇ M each of the appropriate primers, 0.2 mM of each deoxynucleoside triphosphate (DATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP), 2.5 Units of Taq DNA polymerase (Cetus), and 10 ⁇ l of the DNA preparation.
- the mixture was overlaid with mineral oil, heated to 94° C. for 3 min, and amplified for 35 cycles of 55° C. for 1 min, 72° C. for 1 min, 94° C. for 1 min. The mixture was then incubated at 50° C. for 2 min and 72° C. for 5 min. 10 ⁇ l of the PCR product was electrophoresed in agarose gels and visualized by staining with ethidium bromide.
- the HPT template DNA For analysis of the presence of the HPT gene, a PCR primer complementary to the 35S promoter, and one complementary to the HPT coding sequence were employed. Thus, in order to generate the appropriately sized PCR product, the HPT template DNA must contain contiguous 35S promoter region, Adh1 intron, and 5′ protein coding sequence region.
- PCR primers complementary to sequences within the GUS protein coding region were employed.
- a 797 bp PCR product is predicted if the template DNA contains an intact coding region between the two primers.
- the 10 kD-zein storage protein is produced in the endosperm of the maize kernel and is a representative member of a class of proteins referred to as “seed storage proteins.”
- the protein contains extremely high levels of methionine (22.5%) and is encoded by the Zps10/(22) gene (M. S. Benner et al., Theor. Appl. Genet., 78, 761 (1989)); a gene referred to as z10 herein.
- Zps10/(22) gene M. S. Benner et al., Theor. Appl. Genet., 78, 761 (1989)
- z10 a gene referred to as z10 herein.
- increased expression of the z10 gene can be used to increase the methionine content of corn.
- Production of fertile transgenic corn containing a chimeric z10 gene was accomplished by the procedures of Example I with some minor modifications.
- Example II also demonstrates the introduction of recombinant DNA using
- the embryogenic maize callus line named AB63S used in this example was produced from immature embryos resulting from a cross between elite inbred lines A188 and B73, by the initiation and maintenance procedures described in Example I.
- the callus line had been initiated approximately 7 months prior to bombardment. Eleven weeks prior to bombardment the tissue was sieved by forcing it through a 1.9 mm screen and plated onto N6 maintenance medium.
- Friable, embryogenic callus was selected from the resulting tissue after 1-2 weeks of growth, transferred to fresh medium and allowed to grow for 1.5-3 weeks before sieving again. This cycle of sieving and recovery of friable callus was carried out a total of three times prior to subjecting the tissue to bombardment.
- the plasmids pHYGI1 and pBII221 described in Example I were used in this Example.
- the plasmid pZ27Z10 was included in the DNA/tungsten preparations.
- the plasmid pZ27Z10 was constructed using the vector pUC118 (J. Vieira et al., Methods Enzymol., 153, 3 (1987), a 3.2 kb circular plasmid, by standard recombinant DNA techniques.
- pZ27Z10 contains the 5′ transcriptional regulatory region from a maize 27 kD-zein gene (D. E. Geraghty, Ph.D.
- z27 Thesis, University of Minnesota (1987)), referred to as z27 in this document), positioned immediately adjacent to the coding sequence and 3′ noncoding sequence from a maize 10 kD-zein gene (Kirihara et al., Gene, 7, 359 (1988)), referred to as z10 in this document).
- the combination of the z27 regulatory sequence and z10 coding and 3′ sequences is referred to as the chimeric z27-z10 gene in this document.
- the poly A signal from the region of the CaMV genome adjacent to the 35S promoter is positioned 3′ to the z10 gene sequences in pZ27Z10.
- FIG. 7 depicts a map of this plasmid.
- Tissue from the maize embryogenic callus line AB63S was subcultured 3 weeks prior to microprojectile bombardment.
- the tissue was prepared for bombardment by sieving it through a 1.9 mm screen.
- the sieved tissue was plated onto sterile 5.5 cm Whatman No. 1 filter disks as a thin lawn of approximately 500 mg of tissue per filter disk. A total of 6 disks of tissue were prepared.
- Prior to microprojectile bombardment the filter disks containing the tissue were transferred to empty petri plates.
- the tissue was dehydrated slightly by allowing the plates to stand uncovered in a laminar flow hood for 20 minutes. To prevent further dehydration of the tissue, the plates were stored in a high humidity box until used for bombardment.
- the DNA used in the bombardment consisted of a 1:1:1 mixture (by weight) of the plasmids pHYGI1, pZ27Z10 and pBII221. Precipitation of the DNA onto tungsten particles was carried out as described in Example I.
- the bombardments were carried out as described in Example I except that the Biolisticn PDS 1000 (DuPont) instrument was used, and no screen was placed over the tissue.
- the six filter disks with callus tissue were treated as follows: two filters were bombarded two times each with the DNA/tungsten preparation (potential positive treatment 2X); three filters were bombarded one time each with the DNA/tungsten preparation (potential positive treatment 1X); one filter was bombarded once with a tungsten/water suspension using the same weight of tungsten used in the DNA/tungsten bombardments (negative control treatment).
- the filter disks with callus tissue from the 2X DNA treatment were transferred to round 1 selection plates: F medium containing 15 mg/l hygromycin. Two of the filters from the 1X DNA treatment and the filter from the negative control treatment were also transferred to round 1 selection medium. The third filter from the 1X DNA treatment was transferred to F medium containing no hygromycin, for use as unselected control callus. Since this unselected control callus was potentially positive, it was only maintained for the first two rounds of selection for comparative purposes; subsequently, non-bombarded AB63S callus maintained on F medium without hygromycin was used as unselected control callus.
- the callus line Met1 was transferred to F medium containing 60 mg/l hygromycin and to F medium without hygromycin. After 22 days of incubation, there was no visible difference in growth or appearance of the tissue on the two types of media. The callus line Met1 grew rapidly and appeared to be uninhibited by the presence of the hygromycin in the medium. The Met1 callus appeared highly friable and embryogenic on either medium, and was visually indistinguishable from control AB63S callus grown on F medium without hygromycin.
- Met1 callus and control AB63S callus Prior to initiating the inhibition study, Met1 callus was grown for 21 days on F medium without hygromycin. Callus of Met1 and control AB63S callus was transferred onto plates of F medium containing 0, 15, 60, 100 and 200 mg/l hygromycin. Three plates of each callus line were prepared for each concentration of hygromycin; each plate contained 5 or 6 pieces of callus at approximately 50 mg per piece (total callus per plate was approximately 300 mg).
- Southern blot analysis was carried out to verify the presence of the hygromycin resistance gene in Met1 callus DNA and to determine whether the callus had also acquired the chimeric z27-z10 gene.
- DNA samples isolated from Met1 callus and from control callus were digested with the restriction enzymes BamHI, HindIII and BstEII. The digested DNA samples were subjected to electrophoresis on a 0.8% agarose gel and blotted to a Nytran membrane as described in Example I.
- PCR analysis was carried out on samples of DNA prepared from leaf tissue to verify that the plants regenerated from Met1 callus had retained the introduced DNA. For this purpose, a set of six oligodeoxyribonucleotides were used. The sequences of these oligonucleotides, their orientations and relative positions within the chimeric z27-z10 gene construction shown in FIG. 8 are summarized in Table 5 below.
- OLIGONUCLEOTIDE NAMES/POSITIONS IN CHIMERIC Z27-Z10 GENE 1. Z27-5′ nt 132-1566 2. Z27-MID nt 628-651 3. Z27-3′ nt 1081-1104 4. Z10-5′ nt 1182-1206 5. Z10-MID nt 1420-1444 6. Z10-3′ nt 1548-1571 II.

- the set of oligonucleotides was designed such that the use of a pair of oligonucleotides consisting of one z27 oligonucleotide (z275′ or z27mid) and one z10 oligonucleotide (z10mid or z103′) would result in amplification of fragments from the chimeric z27-z10 gene only, and not from endogenous maize z27 or z10 genes.
- the appearance of amplified fragments of the expected sizes in PCR reactions using these z27-z10-specific oligonucleotide pairs were diagnostic for the presence of the chimeric z27-z10 gene in a particular callus or plant DNA sample.
- Leaf DNA was prepared from two Met1 R0 plants (designated Met1-1 and Met1-2) and from one control AB63S R0 plant as described hereinbelow. PCR reactions were carried out with these DNA samples using the oligonucleotide pairs specific for the HPT coding sequence, the chimeric z27-z10 gene, the z27 regulatory sequence and the z10 coding sequence. Gel analysis of the PCR reaction products showed that the expected size amplification products were obtained in all reactions using Met1-1 DNA and Met1-2 DNA. Control AB63S DNA was negative for the HPT coding sequence and for the chimeric z27-z10 gene, but positive for the endogenous z27 regulatory sequence and z10 coding sequence. These results demonstrated that the Met1 R0 plants examined had retained the introduced HPT DNA and the chimeric z27-z10 DNA.
- Southern blot analysis was carried out on the PCR reaction products. Southern blot filters were prepared from two agarose gels loaded with identical samples. The samples contained the PCR reaction products resulting from amplification of z27 regulatory sequences, z10 coding sequences, and chimeric z27-z10 gene sequences described above. One blot was hybridized with a z10 coding sequence probe and the other blot was hybridized with a z27 regulatory sequence probe.
- the z10 coding sequence probe hybridized to the amplified fragments from the z10 coding sequence PCR reactions and the chimeric z27-z10 gene PCR reactions, but not to the amplified fragments from the z27 regulatory sequence PCR reactions.
- the z27 probe hybridized to the amplified fragments from the z27 regulatory sequence PCR reactions and the chimeric z27-z10 gene PCR reactions but not to the amplified fragments from the z10 coding sequence PCR reactions.
- Met1 R0 plants Controlled pollinations of mature Met1 R0 plants were carried out with inbred maize lines A188, B73, A654 and H99. In addition, several self- and sib-pollinations were carried out. A total of 130 pollinations were carried out, using Met1 R0 plants as both male pollen donors and as female pollen recipients. Mature seed was harvested at 45 days post-pollination and allowed to dry further for 1-2 weeks.
- HPT sequence and the chimeric z27-z10 gene were evaluated by PCR analysis of DNA from R1 plant tissues, in three sets of R1 progeny.
- the first set of R1 progeny analyzed consisted of four immature tassel-seeds from R0 plant Met1-7. These tassel-seeds were obtained through open pollination of silks developing from the tassel of Met1-7. Approximately 18 days after pollination, the tassel-seeds were removed from the plant and surface-sterilized. The endosperm from each seed was excised and frozen on dry ice and stored at ⁇ 70° C. until used for DNA isolation.
- the embryo from each seed was transferred to R5 medium and allowed to germinate. After 10 days, the seedlings were transferred to vermiculite for 7 days and then to soil, where they were allowed to grow to maturity.
- PCR analysis was carried out on DNA isolated from each endosperm using oligonucleotide sets specific for the HPT coding sequence, the chimeric z27-z10 gene and the maize Adh-1 gene. Three of the four endosperm DNA samples were found to be positive for all of the above gene sequences. The fourth endosperm DNA sample was negative for the HPT coding sequence and the chimeric z27-z10 gene sequence but positive for the endogenous Adh-1 sequence. These results showed that both the HPT sequence and the chimeric z27-z10 gene had been transmitted to R1 progeny of Met1-7.
- the ratio of z27z10+/HPT+ plants to z27z10-/HPT-plants from the outcross population is consistent with a 1:1 segregation ratio of a single locus.
- the 35 ratio of z27z10+/HPT+plants to z27z10 ⁇ /HPT ⁇ plants from the self-pollinated population is consistent with a 3:1 segregation ratio of a single locus.
- the data also indicate linkage of the introduced HPT and z27-z10 sequences.
- the proteins encoded by the various Bacillus thuringiensis genes have been shown to be useful in a number of pesticidal applications. Production of transgenic maize plants with specific heterologous Bt genes may improve the resistance of the plants to specific pests. Fertile transgenic plants containing a recombinant Bt gene were prepared according to the procedure of Example I, with several minor modifications, as indicated below.
- the plasmid pHYGI1 described in Example I was used, as well as pMS533, which is a plasmid that contains the insecticidal Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin (BT) gene fused in frame with the neomycin phosphotransferase (NPTII) gene.
- BT Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin
- NPTII neomycin phosphotransferase
- segments of DNA from the CaMV and nopaline synthase promoters At a position 3′ from the fusion gene are segments of DNA derived from the tomato protease inhibitor I gene and the poly A region of the nopaline synthase gene.
- AB12 callus was bombarded as described in Example I except that the DNA used in the tungsten/DNA preparations contained plasmids pHYGI1 and pMS533.
- One tube contained only 5 ⁇ l TE (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA).
- the callus from the pHYGI1/pMS533 treatments was placed onto round 1 selection plates, F medium containing 15 mg/l hygromycin as ten pieces per plate. The same was done for two of the plates bombarded with the TE preparation (selected control callus). One plate of callus bombarded with the TE preparation was placed onto F medium with no hygromycin; this callus was maintained throughout the experiment as a source of control tissue (unselected control callus).
- the callus was transferred from round 1 selection plates to round 2 selection plates containing 60 mg/l hygromycin as ten 30 mg pieces per plate. After 21 days of selection on round 2 selection plates, the callus appeared completely inhibited. All of the callus was transferred from round 2 selection plates to round 3 selection plates containing 60 mg/l hygromycin.
- each callus line designated CB2
- Portions of each callus line were then transferred to (i) F medium containing 15 mg/l hygromycin, or (ii) F medium containing 60 mg/l hygromycin. Control callus was plated on F medium with 15 mg/l hygromycin.
- CB2 Only one of the six callus lines, CB2, was capable of sustained growth through multiple subcultures in the presence of 60 mg/l hygromycin. DNA was isolated from portions of this callus and the presence of the Bt gene was confirmed by Southern blot analysis.
- DNA was digested with the restriction enzymes BamHI and XhoI in combination.
- BamHI cuts at the 5′ end of the Bt coding sequence and XhoI cuts at the 3′ end of the coding region.
- a 32 p labeled probe was prepared from the 1.8 kb BamHI/XhoI restriction fragment of pMS533. The predicted 1.8 kb band was observed after hybridization and autoradiography. No bands were observed in the DNA from the untransformed callus.
- Plants were regenerated from CB2 and controlled pollinations were performed to yield the R1 generation, as described hereinabove.
- R1 plants were tested for the presence of the HPT and Bt gene sequences by PCR analysis, and for HPT gene expression by enzyme assay as described in Example I.
- PCR analysis was performed on DNA isolated from root tissue of R1 seedlings by the methods described in Example I. To test that each DNA sample was competent for PCR, PCR analysis was carried out using primers specific for the native maize 10 kD zein gene. The primers used for PCR analysis of the Bt gene were one complementary to the 35S promoter and one complementary to the Bt coding sequence. Primers used for HPT PCR analysis were the same as those described in Example I. The results of this analysis are presented in Table 7. The results show transmission of the introduced HPT and Bt genes through both the male and female parents and the observed frequencies are consistent with Mendelian inheritance. The results are consistent with the insertion of the HPT and Bt genes into chromosomal DNA. It was also found that the HPT and Bt genes show a linked inheritance, indicating that the two genes are inserted close together on the same chromosome.
- the callus line AB12 was used, and is described in Example I.
- the plasmids pBII221 and pHYGI1 described in ample I were used.
- Example II Callus was bombarded as in Example I, except that the DNA used in the tungsten/DNA preparations differed. All of the tubes contained 25 ⁇ l 50 mg/ml M-10 tungsten in water, 25 ⁇ l 2.5 M CaCl 2 , and 10 ⁇ l 100 mM spermidine along with a total of 5 ⁇ l 1 mg/ml total plasmid content.
- One tube contained only plasmid pBII221; two tubes contained only plasmid pHYGI1; and one tube contained no plasmid but 5 ⁇ l TE buffer.
- the callus from the pBII221 treatment was transferred plate for plate to F medium as five 50 mg pieces. After 2 days, the callus was placed into GUS assay buffer as per Example I. Numbers of transiently expressing cells were counted and found to be 686 and 845 GUS positive cells, suggesting that the particle delivery process had occurred in the other bombarded plates.
- the callus from the pHYGI1 treatments was placed onto round 1 selection plates, F medium containing 15 mg/l hygromycin, as ten 25 mg pieces per plate. The same was done for two of the plates bombarded with the TE preparation (selected control callus). One plate of callus bombarded with the TE preparation was placed onto F medium with no hygromycin; this callus was maintained throughout the experiment as a source of control tissue (unselected control callus).
- the callus on round 2 selection plates had increased substantially in weight after 23 days, but at this time appeared close to necrotic. All of the callus was transferred from round 2 selection plates to round 3 selection plates containing 60 mg/l hygromycin.
- line 24C After 19 days on 60 mg/l hygromycin, the growth of line 24C appeared to be entirely uninhibited, while the control showed approximately 80% of the weight gain of 24C.
- the line 56A was completely necrotic, and the line 55A was very close to necrotic.
- the lines 24C and 55A were transferred again to F medium containing 60 mg/l hygromycin, as was the control tissue.
- a Southern blot was prepared from BamHI-digested DNA from the line 24C and probed with the HPT probe described in Example I. As shown in FIG. 6, a band was observed for the line 24C at the expected size of 1.05 kb showing that the line 24C contained the HPT coding sequence. No band was observed for DNA from control tissue. The name of the callus line 24C was changed to PH2.
- DNA isolated from PH2 callus and control callus was treated with (i) no restriction enzyme, (ii) BamHI, as described previously, or, (iii) PstI, which cuts the plasmid pHYGI1 only once within the HPT coding sequence. Samples were blotted and probed with the HPT coding sequence as described previously.
- HPT coding sequence is not present in PH2 callus as intact pHYGI1 or as a small non-chromosomal plasmid. They are consistent with incorporation of the hygromycin gene into high molecular weight DNA. Further Southern blot analyses demonstrated that the HPT coding sequence is contiguous with the 35S promoter sequence.
- the line PH2 along with unselected control callus, was placed onto RM5 medium to regenerate plants as in Example I. After 16 days, the callus was transferred to R5 medium as in Example I. After 25 d on R5 medium, plantlets were transferred to R5 medium and grown up for 20 days. At this point, plantlets were transferred to vermiculite for one week and then transplanted into soil where they were grown to sexual maturity. Controlled pollinations were then performed with the inbred line B73.
- seed was sterilized in a 1:1 dilution of commercial bleach in water plus 0.1% Alconox for 20 min. in 125 ml Erlenmeyer flasks and rinsed 3 times in sterile water. The seeds were imbibed overnight in sterile water containing 50 mg/ml Captan by shaking at 150 rpm.
- Roots were evaluated for the presence or absence of abundant root hairs and root branches. Roots were classified as transgenic (hygromycin resistant) if they had root hairs and root branches, and untransformed (hygromycin sensitive) if they had limited numbers of branches.
- the seedlings of one PH2 ear and one control ear were transferred to moist vermiculite and grown in the dark for 5 days.
- 1 mm sections were cut from the tip of the coleoptile, surface sterilized 10 seconds, and plated on MS basal salts, 20 g/l sucrose, 2.5 g/l Gelrite with either 0 (control) or 100 mg/l hygromycin and incubated in the dark at 26° C. for 18 hrs. Each plate contained duplicate sections of each shoot. The plates were then incubated in a light regimen of 14 hrs light 10 hrs dark at 26° C.
- the transgenic R1 plant which had PH2 as the pollen parent was grown to maturity and used to pollinate an FR4326 plant.
- pCHN1-1 and pLUC-1 were constructed in the vector pBS+ (Stratagene, Inc., San Diego, Calif.), a 3.2 Kb circular plasmid, using standard recombinant DNA techniques.
- pCHN1-1 contains the hygromycin B phosphotransferase (HPT) coding sequence from E. coli (Gritz et al. 1983) flanked at the 3′ end by the nopaline synthase (nos) polyadenylation sequence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Chilton and Barnes 1983). Expression is driven by the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaKV) 35S promoter (Guilley et al.
- HPT hygromycin B phosphotransferase
- pLUC-1 contains the firefly luciferase coding sequence (DeWet et al. 1987) flanked at the 5′′ end by the CaMV 35S promoter and at the 3′ end by the nos polyadenylation sequence. This plasmid was used solely as negative control DNA. Plasmids were introduced into AB12 by microprojectile bombardment. Twenty-six plates were prepared as described in Example I.
- One tube contained only plasmid pBII221; two tubes contained both plasmids pHYGI1 and pBII221; two tubes contained both plasmids pCHN1-1 and pBII221; and one tube contained only plasmid pLUC-1.
- the bombardments which were performed are summarized on Table 8.
- callus from all of the plates treated with pHYGI1/pBII221, pCHN1-1/pBII221 and three of the plates treated with pLUC-1 were transferred plate for plate onto round 1 selection plates, F medium containing 15 mg/l hygromycin B, (five pieces of callus per plate).
- Callus from the fourth plate treated with pLUC-1 was transferred to F medium without hygromycin. This tissue was subcultured every 2-3 weeks onto nonselective medium and is referred to as unselected control callus.
- round 2 selection plates After 21 days on the round 2 selection plates, all viable portions of the material were transferred to round 3 selection plates containing 60 mg/l hygromycin. The round 2 selection plates, containing only tissue that was apparently dead, were reserved. Both round 2 and 3 selection plates were observed periodically for viable proliferating sectors.
- both the round 2 and round 3 sets of selection plates were checked for viable sectors of callus. Two such sectors were observed proliferating from a background of dead tissue on plates treated with pHYGI1/pBII221.
- the first sector named 3AA was from the round 3 group of plates and the second sector named PH1 was from the round 2 group of 15 plates. Both lines were then transferred to F medium without hygromycin.
- the line PH1 was capable of sustained growth over 9 subcultures on 0, 10, 30, 100, and 250 mg/l hygromycin.
- a Southern blot of PH1 callus was prepared by isolating DNA from PH1 and unselected control calli by freezing 2 g of callus in liquid nitrogen and grinding it to a fine powder which was transferred to a 30 ml Oak Ridge tube containing 6 ml extraction buffer (7M urea, 250 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 20 mM EDTA pH 8.0, 1% sarcosine). To this was added 7 ml of phenol:-chloroform 1:1, the tubes shaken and incubated at 37° C. for 15 min. Samples were centrifuged at 8K for 10 min. at 40° C.
- the supernatant was-pipetted through miracloth (Calbiochem 475855) into a disposable 15 ml tube (American Scientific Products, C3920-15A) containing 1 ml 4.4 M ammonium acetate, pH 5.2. Isopropanol, 6 ml was added, the tubes shaken, and the samples incubated at ⁇ 20° C. for 15 min.
- the DNA was pelleted in a Beckman TJ-6 centrifuge at the maximum speed for 5 min. at 40° C. The supernatant was discarded and the pellet was dissolved in 500 ⁇ l TE-10 (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 10 mM EDTA pH 8.0) 15 min. at room temperature.
- the samples were transferred to a 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube and 100 ⁇ l 4.4 M ammonium acetate, pH 5.2 and 700 ⁇ l isopropanol were added. This was incubated at ⁇ 20° C. for 15 min. and the DNA pelleted 5 min. in an Eppendorf microcentrifuge (12,000 rpm). The pellet was washed with 70% ethanol, dried, and resuspended in TE-1 (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA).
- Example II Ten pg of isolated DNA were digested with BamHI (NEB) and analyzed as described in Example I using the HPT probe. As shown in FIG. 3, a band was observed for PH1 callus at the expected position of 1.05 Kb, indicating that the HPT coding sequence was present. No band was observed for control callus.
- BamHI BamHI
- DNA isolated from PH1 callus and control callus was treated with (i) no restriction enzyme, (ii) BamHI, as described previously, or (iii) PstI, which cuts the plasmid pHYGI1 only once within the HPT coding sequence. Samples were blotted and probed with the HPT coding sequence as described previously.
- HPT coding sequence is not present in PH1 callus as intact PHYGI1 or as a small non-chromosomal plasmid. They are consistent with incorporation of the hygromycin gene into high molecular weight DNA. Further, Southern blot analyses demonstrated that the HPT coding sequence is contiguous with the 35S promoter sequence.
- PH1 callus was transferred from all of the concentrations of hygromycin used in the inhibition study to RM5 medium and plants were regenerated as described in Example I. A total of 65 plants were produced from PH1 and a total of 30 plants were produced from control callus.
- Controlled pollinations of mature PH1 plants were conducted by standard techniques with inbred Zea mays lines A188, B73, and Oh43. Seed was harvested 45 days post-pollination and allowed to dry further 1-2 weeks.
- the presence of the hygromycin resistance trait in the R1 progeny was evaluated by the root elongation bioassay, an etiolated leaf bioassay, and by Southern blotting. Two ears each from regenerated PH1 and control plants were selected for analysis. The pollen donor was inbred line A188 for all ears. The results are shown in FIG. 5 and in Table 10, below.
- HPT gene was confirmed in two R2 progeny deriving from a PH1 maternal parent.
- Plant PH1.3.1 (see Table 9) was pollinated with Oh43 pollen. Nine seeds derived from this cross were germinated, DNA was prepared from the leaves of four of the progeny plants, and analyzed by Southern blotting using the HPT coding sequence probe. Two of the four plants tested contained the HPT sequence in high copy number. Although the HPT gene was present in two of the plants, expression of the gene could not be detected in the etiolated leaf assay.
- Plant PH1.10.8 (Table 9) was used to pollinate B73 and was also selfed. Fifty of the progeny from the out-cross were tested for HPT expression in both root and leaf assays. No expression was detected. Likewise Southern blots on DNA from eight of the progeny did not detect the presence of the HPT gene. In the progeny from the self cross, no evidence for the presence of the gene was obtained in leaf assays of nine progeny, or from Southern blots of the DNA from four of these plants.
- the recombinant DNA was only shown to be inherited by progeny when a transgenic plant (both R0 and R1) was used as a female. This is suggestive of maternal inheritance of the recombinant DNA for PH1.
