Abstract:
H1 ( Halomonas sp.) was a strain of salt tolerance (18% NaCl, W/V) and degrading phenylacetic acid, plasmid pDT3 was a derivation of pUC19 inserted mpd gene (methyl parathion degrading gene), which is obtained from methyl parathion (MP) degrading strain DLL-E4 (Pseudomonas putida). Recombinant plasmids pKT-MP and pBBR-MP were constructed by inserting Hind III fragment (which include whole mpd gene) of pDT3 into broad host vector pKT230 and pBBR1-MCS2. With the aid of help-plasmid pRK2013, pKT-MP and pBBR-MP were transferred into H1 (called tri-parent conjugation) and multi-functioned GEMs H-pKT-MP and H-pBBR-MP were constructed, which were salt tolerant, phenylacetic acid-degrading and MP-degrading. The activity of MP hydrolase of H-pBBR-MP and H-pKT-MP was 1 x and 2 x the one of DLL-E4. The MP hydrolase activity of two GEMs were constant.

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
