The effects of overproduction of two Agrobacterium tumefaciens T-DNA auxin biosynthetic gene products in transgenic petunia plants

Open access
·1987·Genes & Development

Abstract

Two genes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens encode enzymes that together produce indoleacetic acid (IAA).The first gene, iaaM, encodes tryptophan monooxygenase which converts tryptophan to indoleacetamide (IAM).The second gene, iaaH, encodes indoleacetamide hydrolase which converts IAM to IAA.We have engineered each of the two genes to be expressed at either high constitutive levels or in a tissue-specific manner.These chimeric genes were introduced separately into petunia plants.The transgenic plants with the Agrobacterium iaaH gene are morphologically normal but have gained the ability to use IAM as an auxin.The plants with iaaM, in contrast, are morphologically abnormal.The observed abnormalities are consistent with an overproduction of auxin and ethylene.These plants contain an approximately 10-fold excess of IAA.The consequences of this deliberate manipulation of the normal phytohormone balance in transgenic plants are described.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
