벼의 c/DRE Binding Factor 4 유전자를 이용한 내염성 벼 형질전환 계통 개발

국문 초록 (Abstract)

내염성과 관련 있는 벼의 CBF4 유전자(OsCBF4)를 벼에서 과발현 시켜 염 스트레스 조건에서 저항성이 증진된 내염성 유전자원을 개발하였다. RT-PCR을 수행하여 분리한 OsCBF4 유전자는 1,429 bp 크기의 뉴클레오티드로 274개의 아미노산으로 구성되었고, 벼의 다른 CBF 유전자와 33~49% 상동성을 나타내었다. 형질전환 식물체는 PCR과 Southern분석으로 OsCBF4 유전자의 벼 게놈 내 도입을 확인하였다. 전이 유전자는 벼 게놈 내에 1~4사본이 도입되었고, 선발된 형질전환 계통 모두에서 전이 유전자가 강하게 발현되었다. 염 스트레스 조건에서 형질전환 식물체는 비 형질전환 벼 보다 생육 정도가 양호하였으며, 특히 CBF4-10 계통은 염 처리 후 많은 식물체가 살아남았다. Real-time PCR 분석 결과 CBF4-10 계통은 120 mM NaCl 처리 시 전이 유전자 OsCBF4 전사체 발현이 잎에서 무처리 대비 약 3배 이상 증가하였다. 결론적으로 일반 벼에 도입된 OsCBF4 전이 유전자는 내염성 증진 기능이 있으며, OsCBF4 전이 유전자의 발현이 높은 형질전환 벼 계통은 내염성 벼 육종 소재로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 평가된다.

This study was conducted to isolate a salt tolerant gene and to develop salt tolerant rice for reclaimed-saline areas through genetic transformation. A rice c/DRE binding factor 4 (OsCBF4) cDNA was isolated from rice (cv. Nipponbare) using RT-PCR. The full-length cDNA of the CBF4 gene consists of 1,429 nucleotides and 274 amino acid residues. The OsCBF4 shares from 33 to 49% identity of deduced amino acid sequence with other CBFs of rice. In order to develop salt tolerant rice, transgenic rice plants containing the OsCBF4 gene were obtained via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The stable incorporation of the OsCBF4 gene into rice genome was confirmed by PCR and Southern analysis. The stable expression of introduced gene was also validated by RT-PCR analysis in T₂ plants. Biological assay of T₃ progeny of the transgenic plants in Yoshida solution containing 120 mM Nacl for 2 weeks, confirmed that the OsCBF4 confers salt tolerance to transgenic rice plants. OsCBF4transgene in the transgenic line CBF4-10 was markedly expressed up to over three-fold in the leaf by 120 mM NaCl treatment. Real-time PCR analysis revealed that the levels of the transgene expression were markedly increased under salt treatment. The transgenic line CBF4-10 which showed highest ability to recover from the saline stress could be used as a potential source for salt tolerance in rice breeding programs.
