Studies on the Induction of Transformation in Cereal Plane V. Transformation of Wheat by Electroporation

곡물류의 형질전환 유도에 관한 연구 V. Electroporation에 의한 밀의 형질전환

Wheat (Triticum aestium L.cv Cho-Kwang) explants were transformed by electrporation. Excised root segments were elechoporated with plasmid DNA of pBI121 and transferred to medium containing 300 mg/L kanamycin. Transformed calli formed within 5-7 days of culture and were selected from electroporated tissue on medium containing kanamycin after 4 weeks. The highest transformation frequency was obtained after electroporation with a pulse of 200 V/800 uF and calli formed at frequencies up to 2.5%. GUS ($\beta$-glucuronidase) assay and dot blot analysis showed that the foreign gene was capable of expressing in root explants subjected to electroporation and calli derived from the explants..

밀의 조직절편을 직접 유전자 전이에 의해서 형질전환시켰다. 기계적으로 잘려진 뿌리조직 절편은 pBl 121 plasmid DNA와 electroporation 방법으로 형질전환시켰으며 300mg/L kanamycin을 함유하는 MS 배지에서 배양하였다. 형질전환된 캘러스는 배양한 지 5-7일이내에 개시되었으며 4주 후 선발되었다. 형질전환 효율의 최적수준은 200 V/ 800uF이었으며 2.5%로 형성되었다. GUS 분석과 southern 분석은 뿌리절편과 절편유래 캘러스로부터 외래유전자의 발현과 안정한 형질전환이 이루어졌음을 보여주었다.
