Abstract

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated leaf disc genetic transformation is an important way to achieve transgenics or gene editing. Ensuring stable and efficient genetic transformation is still an important problem in modern biology. It is assumed that the difference in the development status of genetic transformation cells of receptor materials is the main reason for the difference and instability of genetic transformation efficiency; the stable and efficient genetic transformation rate can be obtained by defining the appropriate treatment period of the receptor material and applying genetic transformation in a timely manner. Based on these assumptions, we studied and established an efficient and stable Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation system with hybrid poplar (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa, 84 K) leaves, stem segments and tobacco leaves as the research objects. There were differences in the development process of leaf bud primordial cells from different explants, and the genetic transformation efficiency was significantly related to the cell development stage of the in vitro cultured materials. Among them, the genetic transformation rate of poplar and tobacco leaves was the highest on the 3rd and 2nd day of culture, reaching 86.6% and 57.3%, respectively. The genetic transformation rate of poplar stem segments was the highest on the 4th day of culture, reaching 77.8%. The best treatment period was from the development of leaf bud primordial cells to the S phase of the cell cycle. The number of cells detected using flow cytometry and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining, the expression of cell cycle-related protein CDKB1; 2, CDKD1; 1, CYCA3; 4, CYCD1; 1, CYCD3; 2, CYCD6; 1, and CYCH; 1 of explants, and morphological changes of explants can be used as indicators to determine the appropriate treatment period for genetic transformation. Our study provides a new and universal set of methods and characteristics to identify the S phase of the cell cycle and apply genetic transformation treatments at the appropriate time. Our results are of great significance for improving the efficiency and stability of plant leaf disc genetic transformation.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 May 2023.
All research outputs
#2,500,679
of 23,717,467 outputs
Outputs from Plant Methods
#125
of 1,125 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#52,882
of 475,722 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Plant Methods
#8
of 38 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,717,467 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,125 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 475,722 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 38 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
