| Abstract/Contents: | "The characteristic of apomixis makes Kentucky bluegrass a good target for genetic improvement by biotechnology. Particle bombardment was used to transform BADH gene into seed-derived callus from the Kentucky bluegrass variety, Langara. Cotransformation method was used to transform Hyg resistance gene and BADH gene into the callus, which were driven by rice actin promoter and maize ubiquitin promoter, respectively. After screening and regeneration on 200mg/L Hyg added medium, 65 Hyg resistant transgenic plants, which came from 81 different Hyg resistant callus lines, were obtained. PCR assay identified 43 transgenic lines contained BADH gene. Northern blots indicated the full-length transcription of BADH gene. BADH activity in some transgenic plants was 1.5-7.6 times higher than control. Tests in green house showed the salt and drought tolerance of 3 transgenic lines was significantly higher than control. In the process of tansformation [transformation] and regeneration, abundant somaclonal variation was observed." |
