    Description: Agricultural biotechnology is limited by the inefficiencies of conventional random mutagenesis and transgenesis. Because targeted genome modification in plants has been intractable, plant trait engineering remains a laborious, time-consuming and unpredictable undertaking. Here we report a broadly applicable, versatile solution to this problem: the use of designed zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) that induce a double-stranded break at their target locus. We describe the use of ZFNs to modify endogenous loci in plants of the crop species Zea mays. We show that simultaneous expression of ZFNs and delivery of a simple heterologous donor molecule leads to precise targeted addition of an herbicide-tolerance gene at the intended locus in a significant number of isolated events. ZFN-modified maize plants faithfully transmit these genetic changes to the next generation. Insertional disruption of one target locus, IPK1, results in both herbicide tolerance and the expected alteration of the inositol phosphate profile in developing seeds. ZFNs can be used in any plant species amenable to DNA delivery; our results therefore establish a new strategy for plant genetic manipulation in basic science and agricultural applications.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shukla, Vipula K -- Doyon, Yannick -- Miller, Jeffrey C -- DeKelver, Russell C -- Moehle, Erica A -- Worden, Sarah E -- Mitchell, Jon C -- Arnold, Nicole L -- Gopalan, Sunita -- Meng, Xiangdong -- Choi, Vivian M -- Rock, Jeremy M -- Wu, Ying-Ying -- Katibah, George E -- Zhifang, Gao -- McCaskill, David -- Simpson, Matthew A -- Blakeslee, Beth -- Greenwalt, Scott A -- Butler, Holly J -- Hinkley, Sarah J -- Zhang, Lei -- Rebar, Edward J -- Gregory, Philip D -- Urnov, Fyodor D -- England -- Nature. 2009 May 21;459(7245):437-41. doi: 10.1038/nature07992.

    Expression of a celery mannose 6-phosphate reductase in Arabidopsis thaliana enhances salt tolerance and induces biosynthesis of both mannitol and a glucosyl-mannitol dimer (2003)

    Notes: Mannitol, a sugar alcohol that may serve as a compatible solute to cope with salt stress, is synthesized via the action of a mannose-6-phosphate reductase (M6PR) in celery (Apium graveolens L). In contrast to previous approaches that have used a bacterial gene to engineer mannitol biosynthesis in plants and other organisms, Arabidopsis thaliana, a non-mannitol producer, was transformed with the celery leaf M6PR gene under control of the CaMV 35S promotor. In all independent Arabidopsis M6PR transformants, mannitol accumulated throughout the plants in amounts ranging from 0·5 to 6 µmol g−1 fresh weight. A novel compound, not found in either celery or Arabidopsis, 1-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-d-mannitol, also accumulated in vegetative tissues of mature plants in amounts up to 4 µmol g−1 fresh weight, but not in flowers and seeds. In the absence of NaCl, all transformants were phenotypically the same as the wild type; however, in the presence of NaCl, mature transgenic plants showed a high level of salt tolerance, i.e. growing, completing normal development, flowering, and producing seeds in soil irrigated with 300 mm NaCl in the nutrient solution. These results demonstrate a major role in developing salt-tolerant plants by means of introducing mannitol biosynthesis using M6PR.
