| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a project conducted that "demonstrated that Agrobacterium tumefaciens could be used to mediate gene transfer to creeping bentgrass and subsequently to several other turfgrass species, including velvet bentgrass, tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass." Suggests that "the advantages of gene transfer mediated by Agrobacterium over direct DNA transfer are several; these include stable transgene integration without rearrangement of either host or transgene DNA, preferential integration of the transgene into transcriptionally active regions of the chromosome, ability to transfer large segments of DNA, and integration of a low number of gene copies into plant nuclear DNA." Mentions that "this system is...being used to introduce into creeping bentgrass and tall fescue genes for improved tolerance to salt, drought, temperature extreme and disease." |
