Abstract

Rice stem borer (Scirpophaga sp.) is considered as one of the primary pests causing yield decrease in Indonesia. Genetic engineering is considered as one of the most effective way to improve the resistance of rice plants to yellow stem borer since no resistance gene has been found in rice and its wild relatives. A double T-DNA binary vector p2TDNAcryIAb wich carry two independent T-DNA was used to transform Indonesian elite rice cv Ciherang using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation to generate transgenic rice that free from selectable marker genes. One T-DNA containing a selectable marker hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) gene and the other carrying the cry1Ab gene. As many as 37 putative transgenic plants from 14 embryos were generated. PCR analysis demonstrated that 22 out of 37 putative transgenic rice contain cry1Ab gene. All Ciherang rice carrying the cry1Ab gene expressing Cry1Ab protein as shown by the immunostrip assay. Further work will be carried out to determine the transgenes copy number, to select marker free transgenic rice, and to evaluate the resistance of transgenic rice against neonates larvae of yellow stem borer.Keyword: double T-DNA, transgenic rice, Cry1Ab, transformation

Abstract

Transcription factors have an important function in regulating gene expression and plant responses to stresses. The ERF, bZIP, WRKY, MYB, and NAC are stress inducible transcription factors. The OsNAC6 is a member of the NAC transcription factor family in rice and its expression is induced by abiotic stresses, wounding and blast disease. Characterization of OsNAC6 gene sequences would give a better undersanding on how OsNAC gene functions biologically. The objectives of this research are to isolate the OsNAC6 cDNA from Nipponbare, Batutegi, and Rojolele cultivars, to characterize their DNA sequences, and to compare their sequences to other NAC genes from other plants available in GenBank DNA databases. Isolated cDNA and sequencing of the fragments resulted in a 912 bp DNA sequences. Translation of the sequences yielded a protein consisted of 303 amino acid residue. Blast analysis of amino acid sequences indicated identity of isolated cDNA from three Indonesian rice cultivars are the OsNAC6 gene. Deduced amino acid residues from amplified cDNAs of Nipponbare, Batutegi, and Rojolele cultivars shared 100% sequence identities to rice OsNAC6 (Acc. # BAA89800), 71-100% sequence identity to a number of OsNAC protein from Oryza sativa and 63-83% sequence identity to NAC protein from other plants.
