Abstract: | Background Transgenic trees currently are being produced by Agrobacterium -mediated transformation and biolistics. The future use of transformed trees on a commercial basis depends upon thorough
evaluation of the potential environmental and public health risk of the modified plants, transgene stability over a prolonged
period of time and the effect of the gene on tree and fruit characteristics. We studied the stability of expression and the
effect on resistance to the fire blight disease of the lytic protein gene, attacin E, in the apple cultivar 'Galaxy' grown in the field for 12 years. |
