Iv. Orlova et al., The system of regeneration and gene transformation of Rhaponticum carthamoides plants accumulating ecdysteroids, RUSS J PL P, 47(3), 2000, pp. 355-359
An efficient system for plant regeneration from leaf explants has been work
ed out. Gene transformation of a medicinal plant Rhaponticum carthamoides (
Willd.) Iljin with a recombinant strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV 310
1 containing plasmid with the gene rolC was performed for the first time. P
CR analysis of DNA from transformed shoots showed that the genome comprised
the copies of rolC and nptII genes.
