- Abstract
- To develop herbicide-resistant cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L. cv Green Angle) embryogenic suspension cultures were co-cultured with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 carrying a disarmed binary vector pGA-bar. The T-DNA region of this binary vector contains the nopalin synthase/neomycin phosphotransferase Ⅱ (npt Ⅱ) chimeric gene for kanamycin resistance and the cauliflower 35S/phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (bar) chimeric gene for phosphinothricin (PPT) resistance, After co-cultivation for 48 h, embryogenic calli were placed on maturation media containing 20 mg/L PPT. Approximately 200 putatively transgenic plantlets were obtained in hormone free media containing 40 mg/L PPT. Northern blot hybridization analysis confirmed the expression of the bar gene that was integrated into the genome of five transgenic plants. Transgenic cucumber plants were grown to maturity. Mature plants in soil showed tolerance to the commercial herbicide (Basta) of PPT at the manufacturer's suggested level (3 mL/L).
