Abstract
A 1,183bp cDNA, AmA1, encoding the seed storage protein of Amaranthus hypochondriacus was isolated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and characterized. AmA1 gene was subcloned into plant binary vector under Cauliflower Mosaic Virus (CaMV) 35S promoter and nopaline synthase terminator (3'NOS). The recombinant binary vector was used to transform Nicotiana tabacum using Agrobacterium tumefacien -mediated transformation procedure. Shoots were induced on MS medium with 0.1 mg/L NAA, 1.0 mg/L BA, 100 mg/L kanamycin and 250 mg/L cefotaxime. Transgenic plants were selected on rooting medium based on MS medium containing 200 mg/L kanamycin and 250 mg/L cefotaxime without phytoregulators. The presence of AmA1 gene in the transgenic plants was confirmed by PCR followed by DNA hybridization. The expression of AmA1 gene in the transgenic plant was observed by RT-PCR method.
Amaranthus hypochondriacus의 저장 단백질을 encoding 하는 AmA1 유전자를 RT-PCR 방법을 이용하여 분리하고 특성화하였다. AmAl 유전자를 담배에 형질전환 시키기 위해 CaMV 35S promoter와 3'NOS를 가지고 있는 식물 발현 vector에 subcloning 하고 이 재조합 vector를 이용하여 Agrobacterium-mediated형질전환 방법을 이용하여 담배에 도입시켰다 신초는 0.1 mg/L NAA, 1.0 mg/L BA, 100 mg/L kanamycin 그리고 250 mg/L cefotaxime이 첨가된 MS 선발 배지에서 선발했고, 선발된 신초는 식물 생장 조절제를 첨가 하지 않고 200 mg/L kanamycin과 250 mg/L cefotaxime이 첨가된 MS배지에서 뿌리를 유도하였다. 선발된 담배의 게놈내의 AmA1 유전자의 존재는 PCR 방법과 hybridization을 이용하여 확인되었고, AmA1 유전자의 발현은 RT-PCR방법과 Southern blot hybridization을 사용하여 확인되었다.
