Abstract: | Generation of transgenic plants exhibiting traits of interest requires the marriage of several technologies including gene transfer, selection and plant regeneration. Variety is the driver for these technologies because of the breadth of plant species requiring modification. A new selectable marker gene, pflp, has been applied to the recovery of orchid plants that exhibit resistance to a major bacterial disease that plagues the orchid industry. pflp as a selection system might be adaptable to many crops. |
