Definitions
- This invention relates generally to the modification of a plant phenotype by the regulation of plant gene expression. More specifically it relates to the modulation of the ripening and/or tissue senescence characteristics and plants derived therefrom.
- Two principal methods for the control of expression are known, viz.: overexpression and underexpression. Overexpression is achieved by insertion of one or more than one extra copies of the selected gene. It is, however, not unknown for plants or their progeny, originally transformed with one or more than one extra copy of a nucleotide sequence, to exhibit the effects of underexpression as well as overexpression.
- antisense downregulation For underexpression there are two principle methods which are commonly referred to in the art as “antisense downregulation” and “sense downregulation, “cosuppression” or ''gene silencing". Both of these methods lead to an inhibition of expression of the target gene. Other lesser used methods involve modification of the genetic control elements, the promoter and control sequences, to achieve greater or lesser expression of an inserted gene.
- the DNA is inserted by injection into individual cells via an ultrafme hollow needle.
- Another method viz. fibre-mediated transformation, applicable to both monocots and dicots, involves creating a suspension of the target cells in a liquid, adding microscopic needle-like material, such as silicon carbide or silicon nitride "whiskers", and agitating so that the cells and whiskers collide and DNA present in the liquid enters the cell.
- One suitable application of the present invention is the modulation of ripening and/or senescence processes in banana.
- Bananas are a globally important fruit crop. They are not only a popular dessert fruit, but represent a vital carbohydrate staple in the tropics with as many as 100 million people subsisting on bananas and plantains as their main energy source.
- the cultivated dessert banana is commonly triploid, parthenocarpic and belongs to the musa AAA genome group, eg. Cavendish subtypes.
- Bananas are climacteric fruits and ripening is regulated by ethylene produced by the fruit and involves numerous biochemical changes including the conversion of starch to sugars, cell wall disassembly, synthesis of volatile compounds, changes in phenolic constituents and degradation of chlorophyll in the peel.
- a method of modulating the fruit ripening or tissue senescence characteristics of a plant of the genus Musa comprising inserting into the genome of said plant a DNA construct comprising in sequence a promoter region which is operable in plant cells, a DNA having a nucleotide sequence selected from SEQ ID Nos. 1-73, complementary sequences of SEQ ID Nos. 1-73 and variants of said sequences permitted by degeneracy of the genetic code and a transcription termination sequence, and selecting from the population of regenerants those transformants with modulated fruit ripening or tissue senescence characteristics.
- the invention also provides a method as described above wherein the said DNA insert comprises a full length polynucleotide coding sequence which includes a polynucleotide sequence as shown in any one of SEQ ID Nos. 1-73.
- the promoter of the said DNA construct may be constitutive, developmentally regulated, or switchable. It may additionally be tissue specific or organ specific.
- the promoter may specifically be either the SAG 1 promoter, the polyubiquitin promoter or the banana ACC oxidase promoter.
- Suitable transformation methods for use with the present invention include the Agrobacterium, microparticle bombardment, fibre mediated or direct insertion methods.
- the invention further provides plant material, plants, their progeny and seed produced according to a method as described above characterised in that said plant material and plants exhibit modulated ripening or tissue senescence characteristics.
- the gene sequences of the present invention may be synthesised ab initio, using the sequence data provided in the sequence listing provided herewith, or isolated from a library using the standard techniques know within the art. To assist the isolation of these polynucleotides we have deposited with the National Collection of Industrial & Marine Bacteria, St. Machar Drive, Aberdeen, UK, a cDNA library of the banana peel ripening related genes. The library was deposited on 9th July 1996 and has the Accession Number 40813.
- this invention is based on the identification of genes which encode proteins involved in banana ripening-related processes, specifically within banana peel.
- the DNA sequences may be used in the process of modifying the plant ripening characteristics of plants and/or fruit.
- banana plants can be generated which, amongst other phenotypic modifications, may have one or more of the following fruit characteristics: improved resistance to damage during harvest, packaging and transportation due to slowing of the ripening and over-ripening processes; longer shelf life and better storage characteristics due to reduced activity of degradative pathways (e.g.
- DNA constructs according to the invention may comprise a base sequence at least 10 bases (preferably at least 35 bases) in length for transcription into RNA. There is no theoretical upper limit to the base sequence - it may be as long as the relevant mRNA produced by the cell - but for convenience it will generally be found suitable to use sequences between 100 and 1000 bases in length. The preparation of such constructs is described in more detail below.
- a suitable cDNA or genomic DNA or synthetic polynucleotide may be used as a source of the DNA base sequence for transcription.
- the isolation of suitable ripening- related sequences is described above; it is convenient to use DNA sequences derived from the ripening-related clones deposited at NCIMB in Aberdeen. Sequences coding for the whole, or substantially the whole, of the appropriate ripening-related protein may thus be obtained. Suitable lengths of this DNA sequence may be cut out for use by means of restriction enzymes.
- genomic DNA as the source of a base sequence for transcription it is possible to use either intron or exon regions or a combination of both.
- the cDNA sequence as found in one of the banana plasmids or the gene sequence as found in the chromosome of the banana plant may be used.
- Recombinant DNA constructs may be made using standard techniques.
- modulation means either an increase or decrease. More specifically “modulation the ripening or tissue senescence process in plants” means an alteration being either an increase or decrease in the said processes relative to an untreated or transformed plant.
- “Senescence” means the progressive deterioration in function of cells, tissues, organs etc., related to the period of time since that function commenced.
- Plant material includes plant cells and any other type of plant regenerable material.
- Frull length polynucleotide coding sequence includes a polynucleotide coding for the whole or substantially the whole of the appropriate ripening related mRNA/protein.
- TABLE is a list of all the clones isolated from banana peel and the corresponding sequence identity number as provided in the sequence listing herein.
- the table also illustrates the approximate clone size, the percentage identity and nucleotide similarity based on the results obtained from comparisons with the EMBL sequence database.
- the table provides the putative gene identity based on these comparisons, corresponding published sequences and their database accession numbers.
- FIGURE 1 Plant transformation vector pUN, containing the UBI polyubiquitin promoter.
- FIGURE 2 Plant transformation vector pSHYN, containing hygromycin resistance gene for selection of transformed plants.
- FIGURE 3 Plant transformation vector pFAN, containing the banana ACC oxidase promoter.
- the first and second strands of the cDNAs were synthesised from the messenger RNAs using a commercial cDNA synthesis kit (Catalog No. 200450, ZAP ExpressTM Gold Cloning kit, Stratagene Ltd, Cambridge, Cambs, UK). Double stranded cDNAs were cloned into the ZAP ExpressTM vector, packaged, mixed with plating bacteria to determine titre and for library screening, following instructions of the suppliers protocol.
- the unamplified cDNA library from ripening banana peel was differentially screened using cDNA from unripe and ripening banana peel tissue.
- a proportion of the library was plated individually at low density and duplicate plaque lifts made onto Hybond N nylon filters (Amersham) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- One filter was hybridised to dCTP radiolabeled cDNA from green fruit and the duplicate filter hybridised to dCTP radiolabeled cDNA from ripening fruit.
- Hybridisations were at high stringency. Plaques hybridising preferentially with ripening or green radiolabeled cDNA were picked and replated for a second round of selection by differential screening. These clones were numbered as ripening up- or down-regulated peel clones.
- the clones were in-vivo excised from the ZAP expressTM vector into the pBK- CMV phagemid vector using the ExAssistTM interference-resistant helper phage, following instructions from manufacturers protocol. 1.4 Characterisation of the ripening peel cDNA library and the ripening-related clones.
- the ripening cDNA library from peel tissue were prepared with an efficiency of 3.2 x 10 5 plaque-forming units per microgram of cDNA.
- the sizes of the inserts in the peel library was 0.4 - 6.7 Kb with a mean size insert of 1.47 Kb.
- a vector is constructed using the sequences corresponding to a fragment of the inserts of one of the sequences 1 to 73. This fragment is synthesised by polymerase chain reaction using synthetic primers incorporating BamHI restriction sites suitable for cloning between a maize UBI polyubiquitin promoter (Christensen et al, 1992,
- the partial sense expression cassette is excised by digestion with Ascl, the ends of the fragment are made flush with T4 polymerase and it is cloned into the vector pSHYN (Fig. 2.) which has been cut with Kpnl and the ends made flush with Klenow polymerase.
- pSHYN contains hygromycin resistance gene for selection of transformed plants.
- a vector is constructed using the sequences corresponding to a fragment of the inserts of one of the sequences 1 to 73. This fragment is synthesised by polymerase chain reaction using synthetic primers incorporating BamHI restriction sites suitable for cloning between a maize UBI polyubiquitin promoter (Christensen et al, 1992, Plant Molecular Biology, 18:675-689) and a nopaline synthase 3'end termination sequences in the vector pFAN ( Figure 3.) The truncated sense expression cassette is excised by digestion with Ascl, the ends of the fragment are made flush with T4 polymerase and it is cloned into the vector pSHYN (Fig.
- pSHYN contains hygromycin resistance gene for selection of transformed plants. After synthesis of the vector, the structure and orientation of the sequences are confirmed by DNA sequence analysis.
- EXAMPLE 4 Construction of an over-expression vector with the maize polyubiquitin promoter. The complete sequence of a ripening related cDNA containing a full open-reading frame is inserted into the vectors described in EXAMPLE 2.
- Transformed Musa plants containing the vectors are produced by the method described in Sagi et al. (1995) Biotechnology. Vol. 13 pp 481-485. Regenerated transformed plants are identified by their ability to grow on hygromycin and grown to maturity. Ripening fruit are analysed for a modulation in their ripening related or senescence characteristics.
