Abstract:
Embryogenic calli induced from mature seeds and cell suspensions were used as explants for particle bombardment.Plasmid p ILTAB2 2 7containing
hph gene and
gus gene under the control of Ca MV35 S was introduced into different varieties of Indica rice.Resistant plants of Indica rice varieties Basmati1,Qingyouzhan,Xinshanzhan2 9,Shengyou2,Minghui63were obtained.Tissue histochemical staining analysis of
gus gene and Southern blot analysis of DNA isolated from leaves of T
0 plants displayed the presence of
gus and
hph genes in the rice genome.We chose Basmati1as a model and evaluated the expression of
hph gene in T
1,T
2 and T
3generations in order to provide us to study further the expression,regulation and control of other important agronomically genes in rice.The segregation ratio of3:1(positive:negative for transgene) was found common in the T
1progeny,itindicated that inheritance of transgene was in accordance with Mendelian rule of dominant gene with one locus.In addition, the selfed progeny of some independent plants show the segregation ratio of 1:1.Itwas assumed that the aberrant ratio of1:1resulted from gene suppression of female gamete or male gamete.Mendelian fashion of
hph gene was further confirmed and homozygotes for
hph gene were identified in the T
2 and T
3lines.Meanwhile,the suppression and activation of foreign gene in the progeny of transgenic plants was put forward to discussion.
