Abstract

Today's scientists try to remove heavy metals with many new technologies such as phytoremediation. One of the best cutting edge technologies is developing transgenic plants to remove certain heavy metal in soil. I constructed the transformation vector expressing T. goesingense Metal Transport Protein1 gene and TgMTP1: GFP genes. The transgenic plants were selected and confirmed the transformed genes into Arabidopsis thaliana genome. Expression was confirmed in several parts in Arabidopsis cells, tissues and organs. When TgMTP1 overexpressing Arabidopsis thaliana were subjected, transgenic plants showed higher heavy metal tolerance than non-transgenic. For further study I selected the transgenic plant lines with enhanced tolerance against four different heavy metals; Zn, Ni, Co, Cd. The accumulation of these metals in these plants was further analyzed. The TgMTP1 overexpressing Arabidopsis thaliana plant of selected lines are resistant against heavy metals. This plant is characterized by the expression of the MTP1 gene accumulating heavy metal in the vacuole and being simultaneously expressed on the plasma membrane. In conclusion, these plants may be used in plant purification applications, and as a plant with increased tolerance.

현대 과학자들은 식물정화공정과 같은 새로운 기술로 중금속을 제거하려고 한다. 이런 최첨단 기술 중 하나는 토양의 특정 중금속을 제거하는 형질 전환 식물을 개발하는 것이다. 본 연구자는 T. goingense Metal Transport Protein 1 유전자와 TgMTP1 : GFP 유전자를 발현하는 형질 전환 벡터를 구축했다. 형질전환체 식물을 선택하여 형질 전환 된 유전자를 애기 장대 게놈에서 확인했다. 발현은 Arabidopsis 세포, 조직 및 기관의 여러 부분에서 확인되었다. Arabidopsis thaliana에서 TgMTP1 과발현하는 식물에 중금속이온이 처리되었을 때 형질 전환 식물체는 비 형질 전환 체보다 중금속 내성이 높았다. 추가 연구를 위해 4 (Zn, Ni, Co, Cd.)가지 중금속에 대한 내성이 향상된 형질 전환 식물을 선택했다. 선택된 T3 TgMTP1 과다 발현 애기 장대 식물은 중금속에 내성이 증가된다. 이 식물은 액포 내에 중금속을 축적하고 동시에 원형질막에 발현되는 MTP1 유전자의 발현을 특징으로 한다. 결론적으로, 이러한 식물은 식물 정화 응용 분야 및 내성이 증가 된 식물로 사용될 수 있다.
