Description
The Indian mustard (
Brassica juncea
) was modified for restoring male fertility and herbicide tolerance. For male fertility restoration, the mustard expresses
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens
barstar, a protein inhibitor of barnase, in the tapetum cell layer of the pollen sac during anther development. Barnase is an RNase, which degrades RNA in the pollen and prevents the pollen from developing. With barstar expression, the RNase is inhibited and the pollen develops normally. Thus, crossing barstar expressing lines with barnase expressing (male sterile) lines restores male fertility in the progeny.
For glufosinate tolerance, the mustard expresses
Streptomyces hygroscopicus
phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase, which inactivates the herbicide through acetylation.
To achieve the fertility restorer line EH-2 modbs 2.99 for hybrid seed production, the mustard variety Varuna was initially transformed with transgenic construct and then backcrossed into variety EH-2. Six backcrossings were performed to try to remove integration of vector backbone sequence.
Recipient Organism or Parental Organisms
The term Recipient organism refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas Parental organisms refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.

Point of collection or acquisition of the recipient organism
Varuna (T-59) is extensively cultivated in northern India. EH-2 was developed from east European material by University of Nagpur.

Further details
Notes regarding the genetic elements introduced or modified in this LMO
The modified mustard contains two gene cassettes:
Streptomyces hygroscopicus
(
bar
) and
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens
barstar.
The
bar
coding sequence is under control of the
Cauliflower mosaic virus
(CaMV) enhanced 35S promoter and
Rhizobium radiobacter
octopine synthase terminator.
Barstar is under control of a
Nicotiana tabacum
TA29 pollen specific promoter and a CaMV 35S terminator. The TA29 promoter is active only in the tapetum cell layer of the pollen sac during anther development (male-specific expression). The coding sequence was codon optimized for expression in plants.
Note:
- Southern blot and segregation analyses indicated that the genome contains a single insertion
- DNA sequence analysis indicated that the insertion occurred in the 'B' genome.
