Production of transgenic plants
in
indica rice cv. Basmati 370 and test of
R I progeny for GUS expression and
hygromycin resistance.
(a) Three-week-old scutellum derived calli
used for co-cultivation with
Agrobacterium. (b) Hygromycin-resistant
colonies of cells proliferated on
hygromycin-containing medium 3 weeks
after selection. (e) Plant regeneration 4
weeks after transfer. (d) Seeds at
maturity stage. (e) A transgenic plant at
flowering stage. (f) Test for GUS
expression of root segments in RI
progeny. Blue staining indicates GUS
expression. Segregation of GUS positive
and negative plants were observed. (g)
Hygromycin resistance in RI progeny of
transgenic plants (right) and
untransformed plants (left). Seedlings
were plated on a hygromycin-containing
medium. Transgenic plants showed
normal growth, where as untmnsformed
plants were died 7 days later
