Abstract: | Four japonica varieties and two indica varieties were used for the genetic transformation of rice (Oryza sativa L.) by using Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Smith et Townsend) Conn EHA101 harboring binary vector containing GUS gene and selectable marker gene of NPTⅡ and HPT. Calli derived from mature and immature embryos of rice were infected and cocultured with Agrobacterium at logarithmic phase. The highest transformation frequency was 55.1% (indica) and 85.2% (japonica) respectively according to the estimation of hygromycin resistant calli produced. The ratio of transgenic plants regenerated from the calli of indica and japonica varieties was 37.8% and 69.0% respectively. The putative transformed plants were confirmed by GUS assay, PCR analysis and Southern blotting. The segregation of foreign genes in T1 progeny corresponded to the Mendelian ratio. This transformation procedure of rice will provide an efficient model for the transformation of monocots. |
