Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a method for cultivating transgenic poplar. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the mid-1990s, the poplar borer broke out in large scale in the three northern regions, with an area of more than 180,000 mu. The poplar borers mainly include Anoplophora glabripennis and Anoplophora nobilis. In the areas where the poplar borer is serious, the poplar damage rate is more than 85%, and the maximum damage rate is more than 90%. Therefore, the insect resistance research has important production significance, and the strong insect resistance is also one of the important indexes of forest tree breeding and afforestation production. In order to solve the above-mentioned insect pests, the genetic engineering technology is widely used in the insect resistance research of poplar. The ecological risk of transgenic forest trees is limited by the long life cycle of trees and the promotion range. The risk level is classified according to the transgenic origin, the influence of reproductive adaptability, and the influence on non-target organisms. The time and space limited release management is adopted for all transgenic plants, and the limited level and management mode are determined. When the genetic drift and the influence on non-target organisms are almost risk-free or extremely low, the non-limited release in the corresponding range can be adopted to evaluate the ecological risk and agricultural benefit. In addition, many scholars at home and abroad also put forward the strategy of setting up biological and physical barriers for the ecological safety of transgenic plants. The biological barrier is to make the genetically engineered trees sterile, etc. At present, the poplar is mainly planted by vegetative propagation, and it has been updated for 8-10 years and has not entered the adult stage, so the probability of polluting the environment by flying pollen of transgenic poplar is small. After fully considering the problems existing in the insect-resistant transgenic poplar and taking necessary countermeasures, the transgenic poplar will have important application prospects in the comprehensive management of poplar harmful organisms.

[0003] In recent years, with the wide application of genetic engineering technology, nearly dozens of poplar species have obtained insect-resistant transgenic plants. Among them, the most commonly used is Bacillus thuringiensis delta-endotoxin Bt gene. For example, the anti-coleoptera pest gene (Cry3A) is introduced into the genome of Populus alba var. pyramidalis by Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediation to obtain transgenic regenerated plants. The Bt gene expresses toxic protein in the plant, and the transgenic regenerated plants have obvious insecticidal effect. However, the expression amount of the target gene in different parts of the transgenic regenerated plants is different, and the expression amount of the toxic protein in the same part at different times is also different. For example, in the poplar branch, the content of toxic protein in xylem is obviously higher than that in phloem. However, there are many kinds of pests, and the biting or living positions are different, which further causes that the insecticidal effect is not ideal due to the uneven or unreasonable distribution of toxic protein expression. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a method for cultivating insect-resistant transgenic poplar trees.

[0005] The method for cultivating insect-resistant transgenic poplar trees according to the present application is performed according to the following steps:

[0006] I. The main branch growing on the main stem of the naturally grown poplar seedling is cut off, and 20-25 cm is reserved; then the end of the main branch is immersed in a solid culture medium containing hairy root Agrobacterium carrying Bt insect-resistant genes, and after hairy roots grow on the end of the main branch, the main branch is taken out from the solid culture medium;

[0013] VIII. After step VII is completed, the main branch is allowed to grow naturally, and after the end of the main branch grows by 20-30 cm, propagation is performed to obtain transgenic insect-resistant plants.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] The method for cultivating anti-insect transgenic poplar in this example is carried out according to the following steps:

[0046] I. The main branch growing on the main stem of the naturally grown poplar seedling is cut off, and 24 cm is reserved; then the end of the main branch is immersed in a solid culture medium containing hairy root Agrobacterium carrying Bt anti-insect gene, and after hairy roots grow at the end of the main branch, the main branch is taken out from the solid culture medium; the hairy root Agrobacterium is ATCC15834; the seedling age of the poplar seedling is 2 years, and the height is 60 cm; the poplar seedling is Populus deltoids x Populus nigra No. 108;

[0047] II. After the main branch with hairy roots naturally grows for 15 days, the end of the main branch grows 1.1 cm, and then the end of the main branch is immersed in a solid culture medium containing hairy root Agrobacterium carrying Bt anti-insect gene, and after hairy roots grow at the end of the main branch, the main branch is taken out from the solid culture medium;

[0048] III. Repeat step II 4 times;

[0049] IV. After step III is completed, replace the hairy root Agrobacterium carrying Bt anti-insect gene in the solid culture medium with Bt anti-insect gene carrying Agrobacterium tumefaciens; the Agrobacterium tumefaciens is AGL1;

[0050] V. Then immerse the end of the main branch in a solid culture medium containing Bt anti-insect gene carrying Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and after tumor grows at the end of the main branch, take out the main branch from the solid culture medium;

[0051] 6. After the main branch with hairy roots has grown naturally for 15 days, the end of the main branch has grown 1.15 cm. Then, the end of the main branch is immersed in a solid culture medium containing Agrobacterium tumefaciens carrying the Bt insect-resistant gene. After the tumor grows at the end of the main branch, the main branch is removed from the solid culture medium.

[0052] 7. Repeat step six four times;

[0053] 8. After step seven is completed, allow the main branch to grow naturally. After the end of the main branch grows to 22cm, propagate it to obtain transgenic insect-resistant plants. The propagation method is branch layering. Four groups of transgenic poplar experimental groups were obtained through branch layering, namely group 1 to group 4. At the same time, negative control and positive control groups were set up. Groups 1 to 4 correspond to the bark (epidermis), phloem, xylem and pith of the branches of transgenic poplar trees, respectively.

[0054] The solid culture medium is MS solid culture medium; the natural growth temperature is 20-30℃; the Bt insect-resistant gene is BtCry3A;

[0055] PCR detection of exogenous genes: Genomic DNA from poplar trees was extracted using the CTAB method for PCR detection of the BtCry3A gene; the primer sequences for the BtCry3A gene were 5'ACCGTCTCTCGTAAGCTCCGTCTT3' and...

[0056] 5'TGCCCAA-CCGAGGACCCCTGGAAG3', amplified fragment length 612bp; PCR amplification conditions were 94℃ for 50s, 52℃ for 60s, 72℃ for 100s, for a total of 20 cycles. Figure 2 The results show the PCR amplification of the BtCry34 gene in transgenic poplar; 1 in the figure is the negative control group (blank control, original seedling of Populus euphratica 108), 2-5 correspond to experimental groups 1-4, and 5 corresponds to the positive control group; through Figure 2 It can be seen that all four groups of transgenic poplar experimental groups were able to amplify the same 612bp specific band after PCR amplification, proving that the BtCry3A gene was successfully integrated into the transgenic poplar.

[0057] The relative content of Bt toxin protein in groups 1-4 and the negative control was determined by ELISA. Figure 3 The graph shows the test results for the toxic protein content in transgenic poplar trees. It can be seen that the relative content of toxic protein is the highest in the bark of the transgenic plants in this embodiment, while the relative content of toxic protein is uniform in the phloem, xylem, and pith. The relative content of toxic protein does not change by more than 4% between April and the topping period. In contrast, the relative content of toxic protein in the negative control group (blank control) changes by more than 9%, and the relative content of toxic protein decreases significantly, especially near the topping period.

[0058] By comparing the relative content of toxic protein test and PCR detection of foreign genes, it can be shown that the introduction of plant genome on the main stem of naturally grown poplar seedlings in this embodiment has genetic stability of transgenic plants, and the target gene can be stably inherited and expressed in the offspring plants, and transgenic poplar regeneration plants can be obtained without using antibiotics for selection and cultivation, reducing the use of screening reagents such as antibiotics and simplifying the culture process.
