Abstract:

【Objective】 The regeneration system and the stable genetic transformation method of male diploid Populus tomentosa was established to provide an experimental platform for further research on gene function.【Method】 The infancy stem segments and leaves of male diploid P. tomentosa were selected as explants and the regeneration system was established by optimizing the concentrations of 6-BA, IAA and TDZ, based on 1/2 MS basic medium. Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA105 was used for genetic transformation via the leaf disc transformation method; it was combined with pre-culture time, bacterial concentration, infection time, co-culture time, and the kanamycin screening concentration. The protoplasts of young leaves were used as receptor cells and transiently transformed with the fluorescent marker gene, EGFP, using the polyethylene glycol-mediated method.【Result】 The regeneration process of male diploid P. tomentosa involves three stages: subculture, bud elongation, and rooting. The medium components were: 1/2 MS + 0.5 mg/L 6-BA + 0.5 mg/L NAA + 0.005 mg/L TDZ 1/2 MS + 0.5 mg/L 6-BA + 0.3 mg/L NAA and 1/2 MS + 0.3 mg/L NAA + 0.5 mg/L IBA; the rooting percentage was 96.7% and the multiplication coefficient was 4.47. The process of genetic transformation involved five stages: pre-culture, agrobacterium infection, co-culture, resistance screening and rooting. The specific plan was pre-culture for 12 h, with an agrobacterium concentration of OD600 as 0.4, infection-time of 20 min, co-culture time of 24 h, kanamycin (30 mg/L) screening for 45 d, and resistant seedlings rooting for 20 d. A total of 86 resistant plants were obtained in this study; among them molecular identification of 14 plants were stable. The efficiency of the EGFP gene transformation was 50% under the guidance of 40% PEG4000.【Conclusion】 The male diploid P. tomentosa was rapidly regenerated and exhibited good transformation stability; it was considered an ideal material for basic polar research. This study broadened the genetic transformation system of poplar and provided a new approach for the molecular assisted breeding of poplar.
