THE TRANSFORMATION OF MONOCOT-BAMBUSA CELLS WITH A. TUMEFACIENS

In this paper, the evidence is presented that a kind of commercial bamboo in Gramineae plant is subjected to Agrobacterium tumefaciens directly transformation. Strain specific nopaline and octopine have been detected respectively in bamboo cultures infected by A. tumefaciens C₅₈ and A₃₄₈ strains; while, opines are not observed when detect control tissues and the materials inoculated with NTI strains and VirA₂₁₁^- mx lost the virulence.
