We have developed a new T-DNA vector, pGA2715, which can be
used for promoter trapping and activation tagging of rice (Oryza sativa) genes. The binary vector contains the promoterless
-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene
next to the right border. In addition, the multimerized transcriptional
enhancers from the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter are located
next to the left border. A total of 13,450 T-DNA insertional lines have
been generated using pGA2715. Histochemical GUS assays have revealed
that the GUS-staining frequency from those lines is about twice as high
as that from lines transformed with the binary vector pGA2707, which
lacks the enhancer element. This result suggests that the enhancer
sequence present in the T-DNA improves the GUS-tagging efficiency.
Reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis of a subset of randomly selected
pGA2715 lines shows that expression of the genes immediately adjacent
to the inserted enhancer is increased significantly. Therefore, the
large population of T-DNA-tagged lines transformed with pGA2715 could
be used to screen for promoter activity using the gus
reporter, as well as for creating gain-of-function mutants.
