Agrobacterium transformant pools of enhancer trap lines
The Thomas Jack laboratory, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, has donated T-DNA lines and pools which were produced in a glabrous Columbia background (Col-6, gl1-1). A modified vacuum infiltration procedure was utilized to generate this material. The populations were transformed with the pD991 vector which contains an enhancer trap construct and a constitutively expressed NPTII/kanamycin resistance gene between the T-DNA left and right borders. The enhancer-trap construction is comprised of a bacterial uidA encoding beta-glucuronidase (GUS) flanked by -60 minimal Cauliflower Mosaic Virus (CaMV) promoter segment and the 3' untranslated region of the nopaline synthase gene (3' NOS).
The pD991 vector carrying the T-DNA enhancer trap was constructed by cloning an Asp718/BamHI fragment (carrying the -60 CaMV/GUS fusion) from plasmid pD979 into Agrobacterium transformation vector pCGN1547.
For lines numbered 1-2600, inflorescences were stained from individual plants and seeds were collected individually from these plants. For lines numbered 2600-4699, individual plants were stained and seeds collected from pools of 10 plants. For lines numbered higher than 4700, inflorescences were stained and seeds collected in pools of 10 plants.
The distributed T-DNA pools are T4 seeds produced as follows. T1 plants were vacuum-infiltrated with the Agrobacterium culture, and the plants grown to maturity. The kanamycin-resistant T2 seeds were grown, 10 per pot, to maturity. Each resulting pool of T3 seeds was harvested as a group and transmitted to ABRC. The only T-DNA lines which were withheld from the donation were a small number having specific GUS patterns in the inflorescence. No other selections were conducted. Populations consisting of at least 400 T3 plants for each pool of 10 lines were grown at ABRC, and the resulting T4 pools of seeds were harvested and maintained as a single stock.
The seed pools of these lines are distributed primarily as pools of 100 plants, generated by combining the seeds from the above pools (i.e., 10 pools of 10 lines produce a single pool of 100).
NOTE: The individual lines for approximately the first 2000 lines are possessed by ABRC, and are available on a limited basis, by special arrangement and fee. The same is true of all of the pools of 10 seed lines.
