DNA sequences flanking the T-DNA were analyzed with inverse PCR. Results showed that 65.4% of the T-DNA was integrated in different locations of rice genome, and some T-DNA flanking sequences were located on certain chromosomes. A number of T-DNA was found to have inserted into protein coding regions. In order to induce transposition of the inserted Ds elements, 354 crosses of Ac x Ds and Ds x Ac were constructed. The excision frequency of Ds element trans-activated by Ac transposase was 22.7% in the F-2 populations, and the transposition was confirmed with analyses of DNA sequences flanking the Ds elements. In addition to the transposition due to 'cut-paste' mechanism, Ds can replicate itself and integrate into a new locus, and inaccurate excisions were also found. A proportion of DNA segments flanking the Ds elements showed no homologies to sequences published in GenBank, of which two were registered under the accession numbers AF355153 and AF355770. The strategy of using transposon tagging for rice genomics study was discussed.展开更多

The N4081 mutant has a segregation ratio of 1:3.04in average and one T-DNA insertion site according to our assay It was therefore chosen for further analysis. To isolate the joint fragment of T-DNA and plan DNA, the plasmid rescue technique waJs used. pEL-7, one of plasmids from left border of T-DNA, which contained pBR322 was selected from ampicillin plate. The T-DNA fragment of pEL-7 was checked by restriction enzyme analysis and Southern Blot. Restriction analysis confirmed the presence of known sites of EcoRI, PstI and PvuII on it.For confirming the presence of flanking plant DNA in this plasmid, pEL-7 DNA was labeled and hybridized with wild type and mutant plant DNA. The Southern Blot indicated the hybridization band in both of them. Furthermore, the junction of T-DNA/plant DNA was subcloned into bluescript SK+ and sequenced by Applied Biosystem 373A Sequencer. The results showed the 822 bp fragment contained a 274 bp sequence, which is 99.6%homolog (273bp/274 bp) to Ti plasmid pTi 15955 DNA.Ten bp of left 25 bp border repeat were also found in the juction of T-DNA and Plant DNA.Taken together, pEL-7 should contain a joint fragment of T-DNA and flanking plant DNA. This plasmid DNA could be used for the isolation of plant gene, which will be helpful to elucidate the relationship between gene function and plant embryo development.展开更多
