Molecular characterization of TaPIMP2-overexpression wheat plants and responses to Bipolaris sorokiniana. (a) Scheme of the TaPIMP2 expression cassette on the transformation vector pUBI::myc-TaPIMP2. Ubi: maize ubiquitin promoter; Tnos: terminator of Agrobacterium tumefaciens nopaline synthase gene. The arrow indicates the amplified regions of transgenic plants by PCR. (b) PCR patterns of the TaPIMP2-transgenic wheat lines using the primers specific to the TaPIMP2-Tnos cassette. M: molecular marker; P: plasmid pUBI::myc-TaPIMP2; Y16: the recipient Yangmai 16. (c) Relative expression levels of TaPIMP2 in overexpressing wheat lines and untransformed Yangmai 16. The relative transcript level in the untransformed Yangmai 16 was set to 1. (d) Western blotting analysis of the TaPIMP2-overexpressing wheat lines and untransformed Yangmai 16 using an anti-myc antibody. (e) The typical common root rot symptoms of TaPIMP2-overexpression and untransformed Yangmai 16. Values represent the mean and standard deviation from three independent biological replicates (Student’s t-test: *P < 0.05).
