Picking list bacterium colony on flat board is inoculated in the YEB liquid nutrient medium that 20ml contains 50mg/L Kan and 100mg/L Str, and in 28 ℃, 180rpm cultivates on constant-temperature table.The bacterium liquid that took a morsel later in two days, with 1: 50-1: 100 dilution proportion is cultivated 6-12h to logarithmic phase for 28 ℃ in the YEB liquid nutrient medium that contains 50 μ g/ml Kan and 100 μ g/ml Str.In centrifuge tube, the centrifugal 10min enrichment of 4,000rpm thalline is abandoned supernatant with microorganism collection, does not more contain the resuspended thalline of SH liquid nutrient medium of antibiotic improvement with about 20ml, makes the OD of bacterium liquid
600Value is for 0.6-0.8, and is stand-by.
3, the preparation of explant:
The alfalfa cotyledon of 4-5 days sizes is downcut from aseptic seedling with scalpel, be cut into the long fritter of 3-4mm, be put in the SH liquid nutrient medium of improvement, prevent from drying up, stand-by.After explant is ready to complete, with the explant that is soaked in the SH liquid nutrient medium of improvement, fall in the filter of the bacterium of having gone out, reclaim explant.The explant that reclaims is put in step 2 in ready bacterium liquid, carries out During Agrobacterium.Every for a moment, shake several under, help Agrobacterium to be adsorbed onto on explant.Contaminate after 15 minutes, fall on aseptic filter, reclaim explant.Explant is put on aseptic filter paper, sucks unnecessary bacterium liquid, 28 ℃ of dark cultivations 4 days on the common culture medium of blank.
Explant after cultivating altogether 4 days is transferred to and is contained 2mg/L 2, on the SH solid medium of the improvement of 4-D, 0.2mg/L KT, 40mg/L Totomycin and 300mg/L Cef, induces the generation callus; After cultivating 20 days, the callus of inducing generation is transferred to contained 0.2mg/L KT, 2g/L caseinhydrolysate, on the UM substratum of 50mg/L Totomycin and 300mg/L Cef, induce the generation embryoid; (approximately cultivated 30 days) after the embryoid maturation, embryoid is transplanted on the 1/2MS substratum, root induction, thus complete the regeneration of plant.
Respectively go on foot the composed as follows of substratum in regenerative process:
Be total to culture medium: the SH substratum of improvement;
Callus induction substratum: the SH substratum+2mg/L 2 of improvement, 4-D+0.2mg/L KT;
Embryoid induction substratum: UM substratum+0.2mg/L KT+2g/L caseinhydrolysate+50mg/L Hyg+300mg/L Cef.

Turn the acquisition of empty carrier control plant
Transform Agrobacterium with plasmid pCAMBIA1302, obtain the restructuring Agrobacterium, with restructuring Agrobacterium-mediated Transformation alfalfa, obtain turning the adjoining tree of empty carrier, method such as embodiment 1.
Embodiment 2
Detect the alpha-tocopherol content in the alfalfa that turns the pCAMBIA1302 carrier that is inserted with the MSTMT gene that obtains in the embodiment 1 of the alfalfa that turns empty carrier that obtains in the Comparative Examples 1 of 10 strains and 10 strains, concrete grammar is as follows:
A. the preparation of sample: after drying and pulverize for alfalfa, cross 40 order mesh screens, accurately take 0.5g in the hydrolysis pipe, add 10mL 6% ethanol pyrogallol solution, ultrasonic extraction 10min adds 2mL 60% potassium hydroxide solution, and adds the tocol solution of 100 μ L 1mg/ml, as interior mark, the tocol content that final sample is measured in liquid is 10 μ g/ml.Be placed in 70 ℃ of water-bath saponification 30min, take out rear as for cooling in ice bath.Cooled sample saponification liquor is all transferred in separating funnel, added 20mL 2% sodium chloride solution, (85/15, V/V) solution extraction is twice then to use the 10mL n-hexane/ethyl acetate.Add a small amount of anhydrous sodium sulphate in organic phase.Draw organic phase 1ml in centrifuge tube, the centrifugal 15min of 14000rpm/min gets supernatant liquor 100 μ l upper machine in the HPLC bottle and measures.
B. drawing standard curve: accurately take alpha-tocopherol standard substance 0.0500g, in the 50mL volumetric flask, make the standard stock solution with the n-hexane dissolution constant volume.The alpha-tocopherol standardized solution is made into the alpha-tocopherol standard operation liquid that mass concentration is 0.10,1.00,2.00,4.00,6.00,8.00,10.00,20.00 μ g/mL after with the normal hexane stepwise dilution, sample introduction 20 μ L measure, take the tocopherol absolute content as X-coordinate, peak area is ordinate zou, the drawing standard curve;
C. measure: get the sample test solution for preparing in 20 μ L steps A and measure under following chromatographic condition, each material is surveyed 3 times and is repeated.
Chromatographic condition: chromatographic column: Hypersil SI 200 silicagel columns (200mm * 2.1mm.i.d., 5 μ m) moving phase: normal hexane: Virahol=98: 2 (V/V); Column temperature: 25 ℃; Flow velocity: 0.3ml/min; Fluorimetric detector wavelength: Ex=195nm, Em=330nm; Sample size: 20 μ L.
Result shows, the alpha-tocopherol content that turns in the alfalfa of pCAMBIA1302 empty carrier is below 0.10mg/100g, and turns more than alpha-tocopherol content in the alfalfa of the pCAMBIA1302 carrier that is inserted with the MSTMT gene on average reaches 3.08mg/100g.
This shows, the expression of alfalfa gama-tocopherol methyl transferase gene provided by the invention (MSTMT) in alfalfa can significantly improve the content of alpha-tocopherol in alfalfa.The content that being found to be of this gene improved the alpha-tocopherol in Dominant Species of Forage Grass plant (particularly leguminous plants, as alfalfa) provides genetic resources, will play a significant role in the research of genetically engineered Improvement plant.
