Popis: Artemisia japonica Thunb is an important perennial herb containing abundant chemical compounds utilized in conventional medicine for the treatment of malaria, hepatitis, hypertension, and inflammation. The protoplasts-based transient transformation system is a versatile and convenient tool for functional gene analysis in several Artemisia species. However, effective protoplast preparation and transformation systems are still lacking for A. japonica. We developed an efficient protoplast-based transformation system by optimizing conditions of protoplasts isolation and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated transformation in A. japonica. The optimum conditions for the protoplast preparation were: the enzyme solution containing 1.75% (m/v) cellulase R10, 0.5% (m/v) macerozyme R-10, and 0.4 M D-mannitol with proper leaves treatment and pre-plasmolysis treatment. The maximum protoplast yield was 1.93 × 106 protoplasts g-1(FM) and the viability of protoplasts was approximately 87.5% under optimized conditions using an orthogonal experiment. Furthermore, the transient protoplast transformation efficiency was 47.86% in A. japonica protoplast under the conditions of 40% (m/v) PEG 4000 for 20 min. The establishment of A. japonica protoplasts isolation and transient transformation system can accelerate the gene function studies of A. japonica and provide a fast and simple gene expression platform for molecular, biochemical, and functional gene characterization for other Artemisia species.
