Overview of existing Technologies
Key terms
7
• Cisgenesis is the genetic modification of a recipient plant with a natural gene (includes its introns and is flanked by its native promoter and terminator in the normal sense orientation) from a crossable sexually compatible plant
• A cisgene is a natural gene, coding for an (agricultural) trait, from the crop plant itself or from a sexually compatible donor plant that can be used in conventional breeding.
Contd...
8
The gene pool for cisgenesis is identical to the gene pool
available for classical breeding.
Cisgenic plants can harbor one or more cisgenes, do not
contain any transgenes.
No foreign DNA, such as selection marker genes and vector-
backbone sequences, should remain in the final cisgenic
plant.
The author of ‘Invasion of Genes - Genetic Heritage of India’ Dr B. S. Ahloowalia said:
“Cisgenics removes all fears associated with transgenic crops.”
Contd…
9
• Transgenesis is the genetic modification of a recipient plant with one or more genes from any non-plant organism, or from a donor plant that is sexually incompatible with the recipient plant.
• This includes gene sequences of any origin in the anti-sense orientation, any artificial combination of a coding sequence and a regulatory sequence, such as a promoter from another gene, or a synthetic gene.
Contd…
10
• Traditional or conventional breeding: uses all classical and modern insights and techniques, including those related to biotechnology, however, without genetic modification.
• It includes a number of techniques that are not regarded as genetic modification or that are exempted from the GMO-legislation.
• Particularly the European Directive 2001/18/EC on the deliberate release of GMOs into the environment
(European Parliament, 2001)
Contd…
11
• Translocations or interchanges: structural changes in chromosomes, where segments of non homologous chromosomes have exchanged positions.
Why interchanges important for plant breeders, geneticists & evolutionists?
Interchanges bring about changes in linkage relationship, changes in chromosome structure & behavior by which variability is created.
12
Traditional breeding
Why cisgenic approach?
13
Some plant spp. difficult to breed by classical method
e.g. woody plants- don’t flower for many years, intolerant
to inbreeding, highly heterozygous.
Some plant spp. are naturally sterile / are part of a highly
desired and commercially widespread clone whose
genotype needs to remain intact.
e.g. potato, apple, grape, and banana.
To appreciate cisgenesis……
14
1st we need to understand the problems related to…
1.Transgenic approach
2.Traditional breeding and
3.Translocation breeding.
15
Transferred gene usually derives from an alien species.
• Extends the gene pool of the recipient species.
• Such a novel gene might provide the target plant with a new trait that neither occurs in the recipient species in nature nor can be introduced through traditional breeding.
What is the problem with transgenesis?

16
In recipient species fitness may change in various ways:
Through gene flow between a GM crop and its wild relatives
potentially creating shifts in natural vegetation.
The generation of these new ‘unnatural’ gene combinations is
regarded as both unethical and having potential long-term risks
for health and environment.(non-targeted organisms/soil
ecosystems)

How cisgenic plants can overcome problems of transgenic plants?
Transgenesis
19
High-quality genotype (cultivar) X wild plant (gene of
interest).
The wild plant, passes genes of interest to the progeny, but also deleterious genes.
This ‘linkage drag’ tremendously slow down the breeding process, esp. if the gene of interest is genetically tightly linked to one or more deleterious genes.
Quality of crop is ruined.
To reduce linkage drag, need successive generations of recurrent backcrossing with the cultivated plant and simultaneous selection for the trait.
What is the problem with introgression breeding?
Contd..
20
As apple cultivars are self-incompatible and highly
heterozygous, the phenotype of a cultivar is unique and
breeding produces genotypes with new and distinct
characteristics.
Limited Popularity of the new cultivars carrying disease
resistance genes since originality of cultivar lost.
(Gardiner et al., 2007)
21
How cisgenesis can overcome problems of introgression breeding?
Introgression breeding
Induced Translocation breeding
22
Chromosome pairing and recombination in common wheat is
largely governed by the gene Phi, located on the long arm of
chromosome 5B, which ensures that only homologous
chromosomes can pair and recombine.
Sears (1956) used ionizing radiation treatment to induce
chromosome breaks and transferred a gene conditioning resistance
to:
leaf rust caused by Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici from
Ae. umbellulata Zhuk. to wheat.Riley & Chapman,1958; Sears & Okamoto, 1958;Sears, 1976;
Major problem in induced translocation breeding.
23
Radiation treatment causes random chromosome breaks.
The majority of translocations resulting from radiation
treatments were formed between non-homoeologous
chromosome arms.
These non-compensating translocations are genetically
unbalanced, and lead to reduced agronomic performance.
The radiation-induced Sr26 transfer, derived from A. elongatum,
the translocation causes a reduction of about 10% in yield
The et al., 1988
24
25
Particularly efficient method for cross-fertilizing
heterozygous plants that propagate vegetatively, such as
potato, apple and banana.
Cisgenesis might also supplement classical breeding for
improving traits with. limited natural allelic variation in
cultivars and wild species
E.g. expression of an endogenous phytase gene in barley
through the insertion of extra gene copies of the
endogenous phytase gene isolated from barley itself
Is Cisgenesis efficient method in crops? Yes…

Impact of Vf genes in conventionally bred Apple
36
Only Vf locus has been positionally cloned
( Vinatzer et al., 2001)
Proved to consists of a gene cluster with fourparalogs :
1.HcrVf12.HcrVf23.HcrVf3 and4.HcrVf4 ( Xu and Korban
2002)
37
Initially, only the HcrVf2 gene was tested by overexpression using the
CaMV35S promoter & also own promoter and nos terminator,in scab
susceptible Apple plants.
Only one resistance encoding gene, HcrVf2, has been isolated and proven
functional to date in cvs. Gala and Elstar.

Two types: HvPAPhy_a and HvPAPhy_b.
HvPAPhy_a is preferentially synthesized during seed development and stored as preformed phytase in the mature grain,
HvPAPhy_b is preferentially synthesized during germination.
Therefore ,the HvPAPhy_a gene as a candidate for our cisgenic approach.
PAPhy (purple acid phosphatase)

Modifying Plant Growth using GA-associated cisgenes.
POPLAR TREES
Han K et.al.,2010
65
The transfer of entire native genes that play roles
in biosynthesis or signaling of gibberellic acids
(GAs), including their 5’ and 3’ proximal regulatory
regions, impart changes in growth rate and stature
in poplar trees.
66
Five different cisgenes :
GA20ox7,GA2ox2, GAI1, RGL 1_1, and RGL 1_2 . GA20oxidase catalyzes the penultimate step in the
biosynthetic GA pathway, in turn promote cell division and elongation.
The other genes tend to repress or attenuate active GA actions.
a) GA degradation by GA2ox2.
b) DELLA domain proteins that attenuate GA signals.
67
Plants transformed with GA20ox7 cisgene had a higher rate and frequency of regeneration of transgenic shoots during antibiotic selection.
The average stem volume of the GA20ox7 transformed plants increased by 40% compared with the transgenic (empty vector) controls.
GA20ox7 gene expression was also statistically associated with the growth enhancement.
