摘要: Strawberry is susceptible to diseases caused by phytoplasmas, mycoplasma-like prokaryotes restricted to sieve elements in the phloem tissue of infected plants. One strategy to improve strawberry resistance to phytoplasmas involves transgenic expression of anti-microbial peptide genes in phloem. For targeted phloem-specific expression, we constructed a binary vector with an expression cassette bearing the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene (uidA) under control of the Arabidopsis sucrose-H+ symporter gene (AtSUC2) promoter. Transgenic strawberry lines were generated with high efficiencies by a modified transformation protocol, which combines the adoption of a 3-day pre-selection period following transformation, and the addition of 10-muM thidiazuron to the regeneration medium. Histological GUS activity indicated that the reporter gene was expressed specifically in phloem of leaves, petioles, and roots of transgenic plants. The results suggest that the transformation protocol and the AtSUC2 promoter may be useful for engineering phytoplasma-resistant transgenic strawberries.
