Jz. Zeng et al., TRANSGENIC WHEAT PLANTS OBTAINED WITH POLLEN-TUBE PATHWAY METHOD, Science in China. Series B, Chemistry, life sciences & earth sciences, 37(3), 1994, pp. 319-325
Beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene (carried by pBI121 plasmid) has been int
roduced into hexaploid wheat c.v. Xiaoshan No. 3 with the pollen-tube
pathway method. Five transgenic plants are selected from 106 T0 plants
. All of these plants are identified by the Southern hybridization, an
d the GUS activity can be detected by using fluorogenic assay and hist
ochemical stain.
