 Vacuum & Electrical Pulse 

Advantages

1. Starting materials are mature seeds.

2. Transformed plants are obtained in a relatively short time.

3. Plant tissue culture is not necessary.

4. Possibly applicable to animal cells and microorganisms.


Basic Method

  1. Soak mature seeds in water overnight
  2. Transfer the seeds into electroporation buffer
  3. Vacuum treatment
  4. Electroporation on ice
  5. Incubate the seeds on ice for a few hours
  6. Grow the plants under favorable conditions
  7. Select the transformed plants using antibiotics.

Chamber: CUY520P5 or P15

Electroporation on ice

 

Fertile transgenic plants were regenerated and self-fertilized seeds were obtained in rice and wheat. Transgene integration was confirmed by Southern hybridization. Transmission of the transgene into the next generation (T1) was indicated by PCR analysis. Transient gene expression was observed in several plant species and silk worm eggs.
  • No Need for Tissue Culture
  • No Particular Know-How or Skill required
  • Large reduction in handling and labour time
    • Simple
    • Efficient
    • Low-Cost

SUMMARY

This system can directly deliver foreign genes into mature plant seeds using electroporation.

Mature seeds of rice and wheat were soaked in water overnight. Then the seeds were incubated in an electroporation buffer containing plasmid DNAs for several hours under the condition of reduced air pressure. DNAs are considered to be transported into cells across cell walls with the help of depressurization treatment.

Electroporation was carried out with a NEPA21/CUY21 electroporation device in a 10mm wide cuvette containing 1.0 ml of electroporation buffer.

After the electroporation the seeds were incubated in water for two days.

To determine the optimal gene transfer conditions, GUS (β-glucuronidase) gene expression assay were carried out.

To obtain stably transformed plants, the seeds were transferred to a selection medium. After the plant regeneration putative transgenic chimeras and sexual offspring were analyzed.

In both rice and wheat, fertile transgenic plants were regenerated and self-fertilized seeds were obtained. Transgene presence was confirmed by Southern hybridization. Transmission of the transgene into the next generation (T1) was indicated by PCR analysis.

This method is simpler and more rapid than conventional techniques, and it can be applied to a wide range of commercial rice and wheat varieties.

The transformation procedure presented here does not require the establishment of genotype-dependent tissue culture system.

Transient gene expression in  soybean seeds, tomato and Brassica were also observed.

NEPA21 for Plant Seed Electroporation

Please note that the results illustrated above are for the efficiency of our old CUY21 system for wheat and rice.

As the NEPA21 was only recently launched we do not yet have comparable data for the NEPA21 system.

However, we have NEPA21 results data for sorghum seeds.  

The CUY520P15 electrode was used to generated these results and is the recommended electrode.

For your further information:

–          The NEPA21 system is the latest update to our old CUY21 system. 

–          The NEPA21 system can be set up to operate as a CUY21 system (so the illustrated CUY21 results can also be achieved with the NEPA21 system)
