Abstract:
OsMAPK4 gene was obtained by RT-PCR using gene special primer from Liaoyan241 leaf treated with low temperature. Plant expression vector pBME12 was constructed in which OsMAPK4 gene was regulated by E12 promoter. OsMAPK4 gene was transferred into tobacco via Agrobacterium-mediated method and 25 transgenic plants obtained. The results of drought resistance experiments showed that overexpression of OsMAPK4 gene conferred enhanced drought resistance of T1 transgenic plants. Kanamycin-resistance segregation in T1 transgenic plants showed that the most transgenic lines were in single gene inheritance.

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...
