Abstract
Transient expression of the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene introduced i nto Arabidopsis thaliana intact plants by T-DNA after vacuum infiltrat ion of Agrobacterium tumefaciens was followed. The first incidence of GUS activity was found 2 - 3 d after treatment and a peak of activity one week after treatment in both A. thaliana races, Columbia and C24, GUS activity was sharply increased by cultivation of Arabidopsis plant s at elevated temperature (29 degrees C) compared to cultivation at 25 degrees C, The density of inocula also influenced the GUS activity.
