Abstract:The plant expression vector pBRSAg was constructed as suitable for transformation via Agrobacteriummediated approach. It contains all elements for plant expression, such as CaMV 35S promoter, both left and right border sequence for transferred DNA (T-DNA) in Agrobacterium, plant reporter gene gus, and plant selection marker gene hpt. The recombinant binary vector pBRSAg was transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains by using the freeze-thaw method. Tomato cotyledon explants were transformed by A. tumefaciens and plants were regenerated on selection medium. GUS staining, PCR and PCR-Southern analysis of the plants were positive. It was for the first time shown that the HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen) gene was introduced into tomato plants. The expression of transgene is under investigation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
