摘要
鼠尾草(Salvia hispanica L.)是一种营养价值很高的作物,是α-亚麻酸(一种关键的omega-3脂肪酸)最丰富的来源。尽管奇亚籽具有丰富的营养价值,但目前还没有稳定的基因转化方法。本研究提出了一种超声辅助农杆菌介导的转化方案,优化了奇亚幼苗的高效转化。对细菌细胞密度、乙酰丁香酮浓度、超声时间、真空浸润、感染时间等关键参数进行了优化。结果表明,600 nm光密度(OD600)为0.5,乙酰丁香酮浓度为100µM,超声处理20 min,真空浸润10 min,侵染60 min,可显著提高转化效率和GUS表达。经聚合酶链反应和β-葡萄糖醛酸酶(GUS)实验验证了该优化方案的有效性。我们的研究结果建立了一个强大而可靠的转化方案,为未来旨在提高中国辣椒营养和农艺性状的基因工程工作铺平了道路。
Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of chia (Salvia hispanica L.), a rich source of omega-3 fatty acid.
Chia (Salvia hispanica L.), a nutritionally valuable crop, is the richest source of α-linolenic acid, a key omega-3 fatty acid. Despite its nutritional benefits, a stable genetic transformation method for chia is not available. This study presents a sonication-assisted Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocol optimized for high-efficiency transformation of chia seedlings. Key parameters including bacterial cell density, acetosyringone concentration, sonication duration, vacuum infiltration, and infection time were optimized. Results demonstrated that an optical density at 600 nm (OD600) of 0.5, acetosyringone concentration of 100 µM, 20 min of sonication, 10 min of vacuum infiltration, and 60 min of infection significantly enhanced transformation efficiency and GUS expression. This optimized protocol was validated through Polymerase Chain Reaction and β-glucuronidase (GUS) assay in transformed plants. Our findings establish a robust and reliable transformation protocol, paving the way for future genetic engineering efforts aimed at enhancing the nutritional and agronomic traits of chia.
