Transgene stacking in potato using the GAANTRY system

OBJECTIVE: GAANTRY (Gene Assembly in Agrobacterium by Nucleic acid Transfer using Recombinase technologY) is a flexible and effective system for stably stacking multiple genes within an Agrobacterium virulence plasmid Transfer-DNA (T-DNA). We examined the ability of the GAANTRY Agrobacterium rhizogenes ArPORT1 '10-stack' strain to generate transgenic potato plants.

RESULTS: The 28.5 kilobase 10-stack T-DNA, was introduced into Lenape potato plants with a 32% transformation efficiency. Molecular and phenotypic characterization confirmed that six of the seven tested independent transgenic lines carried the entire desired construct, demonstrating that the GAANTRY 10-stack strain can be used can be used in a tissue culture-based callus transformation method to efficiently generate transgenic potato plants. Analysis using droplet digital PCR showed that most of the characterized events carry one or two copies of the 10-stack transgenes and that 'backbone' DNA from outside of the T-DNA was absent in the transgenic plants. These results demonstrate that the GAANTRY system efficiently generates high quality transgenic potato plants with a large construct of stacked transgenes.
