摘要
Five different varieties of Brassica napus (Cyclone, Dunkled, Oscar, Rainbow and KS75) were tested for their regeneration response. Cyclone showed a very high frequency of regeneration (92%). The use of silver nitrate was a pre-requisite for efficient shoot regeneration. Hypocotyls were selected as the starting material for transformation experiments on the basis of high transient GUS expression. Explants were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium strain EHA101 harboring a binary vector pIG121Hm containing neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII) gene, conferring resistance to kanamycin, hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT) gene, conferring resistance to hygromycin as selectable markers and β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene as a reporter. Acetosyringone promoted the transformation but was not an absolute requirement. A pre-selection period of 7 days after co-cultivation was essential for successful transformation. Kanamycin was efficient selective agent for selection and maximum transformation efficiency was 24%. GUS activity was evident in leaf tissues. All the transgenic plants have an expected band of 0.43 kb fragment by PCR analysis confirming the presence of foreign DNA into plant genome.
