Abstract

The protocol for  Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of local banana plants cv  “Mas Lampung” (AA) has been established. A selectable marker gene (hpt) has been used to study the transformation using  in vitro corm slices as target tissues.  Banana  in vitro corm slices were co-cultivated with the EHA105 strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens harbouring binary vector pCAMBIA 1301 containing hygromycin resistance gene (hpt) as a selectable marker and intron-containing β-Glucuronidase (gus-intron) gene as a reporter gene driven by  CaMV 35S promoter.   Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) were used to examine the existence of  hpt gene in plants resulted from the transformation.  Using primer pairs specific for hpt gene, our PCR analysis on leaves showed the presence of the  hpt   transgene in banana transgenic plants at first generation (T0) of transformation.  To prove the existence of hpt gene in the fruits of transgenic banana plants, PCR analysis were also carried out.  The data showed that the  hpt  gene could be amplified  from banana fruits of tested samples.   These result demonstrates that the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method used in this experiment has been successful to transfer gene into banana plants. Thus, the transformation method reported here could be used as a standard protocol to  transfer another useful genes into local banana plants cv. “Mas Lampung”.  Furthermore, the presence of transgene in fruits of banana transgenic plants is important achievement  especially for transgene that is expected to be expressed in the fruit including to introduce vaccine genes into banana fruits for edible vaccine.Key words:  Agrobacterium,  hpt  gene, transgenic banana Mas Lampung, Musa acuminate corm slices, PCR

Abstract

Transgenic rice plants harboring resistant gene to yellow stem borer, cry1B gene had been obtained. However, the cry1B gene in second generation of transgenic rice lines still segregating following Mendelian ratio 3:1. For further use in the breeding programs, it is important to ensure that the gene is dominant gene and the plants are homozygous for  cry1B gene. Selection  of homozygous transgenic rice lines containing  cry1B  gene at third, fourth and fifth generation had been conducted by PCR.  The presence of  cry1B  gene was determined by showing the PCR product of 1.9 kb. Segregation analysis proved that six transgenic rice  lines i.e. 3R7.8.15.1, 3R7.8.15.9, 3R7.8.15.10, 3R7.8.15.15, 3R7.8.15.21, 3R7.8.15.29 are homozygous lines for  cry1B  gene.   Moreover, bioassay studies at vegetative stage on six homozygous transgenic rice lines showed that  these transgenic rice lines are potential resistant to yellow stem borer comparing with non-transgenic plants, with the score of 0 (indicated no symptom) for six transgenic lines and score of9 (more than 60% damaged tillers ) for non-transgenic plants. However, to confirm the efficacy of  cry 1B  gene to yellow stem borer in naturalcondition, confined field trial in endemic area of yellow stem borer should be conducted. Keywords: bioassay, cry1B gene, transgenic rice, yellow stem borer

Abstract

Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world.  Nearly half of the world population consume rice as their staple food (FAO, 2004).  With the increasing of world population, the need to provide more food supplies including rice is obvious.  Biotechnology is expected to play major roles in the improvement of crop productivity and quality. Unlike transgenic maize, eventhough many research have been done to improve rice performance by genetic engineering, transgenic rice has not been released or commercialized.  Among those research to improve rice performance are the atempt to introduce biotic and abiotic stress tolerant traits, herbicide tolerant trait and beta-carotin biosynthetic pathway.  Currently, several genetically modified rice cultivars have been and being tested on limited field trials.Keywords : Rice, stress tolerant

Abstract

A  cry1B synthetic gene of Bacillus thuringiensis has been used  for  the transformation of the javanica rice plants  cv.  Rojolele  confer resistance  to  an  important  pest,  yellow  stem  borer  (Scirpophaga  incertulas). Embryogenic callus were co-cultivated with  the EHA 105 strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens harbouring binary vector CAMB  IA 130 I containing cry  / B gene under  the control of wound inducible gene promoter  (mpi), hygromycin resistance gene (hpt)  as a selectable marker and intron-containing β-glucuronidase (gus - intron) gene al) a reporter gene  driven  by  CaMV35S  promoter.  Previously.  our  histochemical  assay  and  P  R  analyses.  had  proved  th integration of  cry1B gene  into  the genome of rice plants at first generation .  However,  the existence of the gene should remain  table  throughout generation.  In  this study,  the presence of the cry1B transgene in  rice  transgenic plants at  second generation was confirmed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) .  Insertion of  the cry1B gene in the genome of PCR positive plants was  verified by Southern blot analysis is and showed that integration of cry1  B  into the genomic DNA of  javanica rice plants cv. Rojolele.  An effective resistance of transgenic  plants against  stem borer was verified in  bioassays.
