ABSTRACT
Embryonic callus of Kentucky bluegrass were used as material for genetic transformation with the DREB1A gene by particle bombardment. Parameters of biolistic bombardment were studied. The optimal methods showed as follows: plasmid DNA are coated by Ca(NO_3)_2 and PEG4000, 1?m golds are the vectors of plasmid DNA, 6 cm bombardment height distance, 1 time and without osmotic treatment are favorable to transgenic efficiency. The concentration hygromycin (Hy) , which is the selection mark for cultivar‘Baron’ is 100mg/L.
ABSTRACT
BADH-CMO double gene,CMO gene and DREB1A gene were transformed respectively to embryonic callus of Kentucky bluegrass by particle bombardment. Then the embryonic callas of kentucky bluegrass were put in meclium for subculture which is mixed with 100mg/L hygromycin and the meclium for plantlet regeneration which mixell with 50mg/L hy gromycin about one month. Thus,the hygromycin-selectecl plants were obtained and were transplantecl into tlowerpots. The results of the PCR and Southern blot analysis indicated that the DREB1A gene,CMO gene and BADH-CMO double-gene were integrated into the genomic DNA of Kentucky bluegrass.
