  1. Overexpression of Arabidopsis ABF3 Gene Enhances Tolerance to Drought & Cold in Transgenic Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) & Bentgrass (Agrostis mongolicum) by Enkhchimeg Vanjildorj Supervisor Prof. Lee, Hyo-Yeon College of Applied Life Sciences, Cheju National University, Jeju 690-756, Korea

  4. Drought/dehydration Cold/freezing High-salinity heat Biological invaders Water excess Plants must ADAPT or DIE ! ! ! ! !........ ABA hormone

  5. ABF3 gene regulations in Arabidopsis: • Inhibit germination by high salt • Inhibit the development of young seedling by high sugar • Exhibit drought tolerance than wild-type plants • Low/high temperature tolerance than wild-type plants • Oxidative stress tolerance than wild-type plants • Hypersensitive to ABA • Slightly delayed germination • Mild growth retardation than that of wild type Kang et al., (2002) The Plant Cell, Vol. 14, 343-357

  6. Objectives: • 1. To establish an efficient in vitro regeneration system in lettuce and bentgrass • 2. To transform ABF3 gene to the lettuce and bentgrass via Agrobacterium tumefaciens • 3. To determine the transgene transmission and expression in T1 progeny • 4. To enhance tolerance to drought and cold in transgenic lettuce and bentgrass

  7. Section I.LETTUCE (LACTUCA SATIVA L.) • Establishment of in vitro regeneration system • Establishment of gene transformation system • In vivo test (drought & cold)

  22. Conclusions • To choice of genotype and explants type are a critical factors to consider in lettuce tissue culture. • Incorporation of both exogenous kinetin and NAA are essential, and cytokinin to auxin ratio 5:1 and 10:1 is the most effective on shoot regeneration of lettuce cotyledon explants. • All transgenic plants and their progenies were fertile and morphologically normal, and gene transformation efficiency was relatively higher. • The transgene inherited in a normal Mendelian pattern in one out of the nine T1 progenies. • The transgenic plants displayed more tolerant to drought and cold than that of wild-type plants, suggesting that overexpression of Arabidopsis ABF3 is functional in lettuce.

  31. Conclusions • Five type of callus was determined, callus type 2 displayed significantly higher shoot regeneration capacity • TDZ+NAA combination was effective, however the highest number of shoots per callus was observed when medium containing 0.05 mg/L TDZ • Transgenes were stably integrated in the genomes of putative transgenic plants • The morphology of transgenic plants were normal in terms of shape of whole plants

  32. Future study • Introducing draft inducible gene • Introducing herbicide-resistant gene
