The method of expressing genome-editing enzymes using a transient expression system in Agrobacterium, called agrobacterial mutagenesis, is a shortcut used in genome-editing technology to improve elite varieties of vegetatively propagated crops, including potato. However, with this method, edited individuals cannot be selected. The transient expression of regeneration-promoting genes can result in shoot regeneration from plantlets, while the constitutive expression of most regeneration-promoting genes does not result in normally regenerated shoots. Here, we report that we could obtain genome-edited potatoes by positive selection. These regenerated shoots were obtained via a method that combined a regeneration-promoting gene with the transient expression of a genome-editing enzyme gene. Moreover, we confirmed that the genome-edited potatoes obtained using this method did not contain the sequence of the binary vector used in Agrobacterium. Our data have been submitted to the Japanese regulatory authority, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), and we are in the process of conducting field tests for further research on these potatoes. Our work presents a powerful method for regarding regeneration and acquisition of genome-edited crops through transient expression of regeneration-promoting gene.","PeriodicalId":20411,"journal":{"name":"Plant Biotechnology","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135768730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent progress of genetic modification produces a novel cultivar with attractive features. In both cases, a major problem is the gene-flow from cultivated or genetically modified (GM) plants to wild species, causing reduction of natural population. To investigate whether gene-flow occurs in wild species, molecular analysis with DNA markers with higher efficient technique is useful. Here we investigated the gene-flow from cultivated roses (Rosa×hybrida) to wild rose species planted in close distance in the field. The overlapping flowering periods and visiting insects suggest that pollens were transported by insects between wild and cultivated roses. We examined the germination ratio of seeds from wild species, and extracted DNA and checked with KSN and APETALA2 (AP2) DNA markers to detect transposon insertions. Using two markers, we successfully detected the outcross between wild and cultivated roses. For higher efficiency, we established a bulking method, where DNA, leaves or embryos were pooled, enabling us to that check the outcross of many plants. Our results suggest that wild species and garden cultivars can cross in close distance, so that they should be planted in distance, and checked the outcross with multiple DNA markers.","PeriodicalId":20411,"journal":{"name":"Plant Biotechnology","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135402370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During a search to find small molecules that affect plant regeneration in Arabidopsis, we found that 4PBA treatment promotes this process by mimicking the effect of exogenous auxin. Specifically, plant tissue culture experiments revealed that a medium containing 4PBA enhances callus formation and subsequent shoot regeneration. Analyses with auxin-responsive or cytokinin-responsive marker lines demonstrated that 4PBA specifically enhances AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF)-dependent auxin responses. Our western blot analyses showed that 4PBA treatment does not enhance histone acetylation in Arabidopsis, in contrast to butyric acid and trichostatin A, other chemicals often used as HDAC inhibitors, suggesting this mechanism of action does not explain the observed effect of 4PBA on regeneration. Finally, mass spectroscopic analysis and genetic approaches uncovered that 4PBA in Arabidopsis plants is converted to phenylacetic acid (PAA), a known natural auxin, in a manner independent of peroxisomal IBR3-related β-oxidation. This study demonstrates that 4PBA application promotes regeneration in explants via its auxin activity and has potential applications to not only plant tissue culture engineering but also research on the plant β-oxidation pathway.","PeriodicalId":20411,"journal":{"name":"Plant Biotechnology","volume":"39 1 1","pages":"51-58"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41547470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
