A Strategy for the Production and Molecular Validation of Agrobacterium-Mediated Intragenic Octoploid Strawberry

Intragenesis is an all-native engineering technology for crop improvement. Using an intragenic strategy to bring genes from wild species to cultivated strawberry could expand the genetic variability. A robust regeneration protocol was developed for the strawberry cv. ‘Shanghai Angel’ by optimizing t...

A Strategy for the Production and Molecular Validation of Agrobacterium-Mediated Intragenic Octoploid Strawberry
description Intragenesis is an all-native engineering technology for crop improvement. Using an intragenic strategy to bring genes from wild species to cultivated strawberry could expand the genetic variability. A robust regeneration protocol was developed for the strawberry cv. ‘Shanghai Angel’ by optimizing the dose of Thidiazuron and identifying the most suitable explants. The expression cassette was assembled with all DNA fragments from <i>F. vesca,</i> harboring a sugar transporter gene <i>FvSTP8</i> driven by a fruit-specific <i>FvKnox</i> promoter. Transformed strawberry was developed through an <i>Agrobacterium</i>-mediated strategy without any selectable markers. Other than PCR selection, probe-based duplex droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) was performed to determine the T-DNA insert. Four independent transformed shoots were obtained with a maximum of 5.3% efficiency. Two lines were confirmed to be chimeras, while the other two were complete transformants with six and 11 copies of the intragene, respectively. The presence of a vector backbone beyond the T-DNA in these transformants indicated that intragenic strawberries were not obtained. The current work optimized the procedures for producing transformed strawberry without antibiotic selection, and accurately determined the insertion copies by ddPCR in the strawberry genome for the first time.
