Abstract:
"Hairy" roots of lettuce Lactuca sativa and regenerated plants with interferon-alpha2b gene had been obtained via Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation. According to the results of PCR and rt-PCR analyses the studied plants had ifn-alpha2b gene. The regenerated plants differed from the plants of wild type by elongated internodes, early flower-bearing stem formation and purple coloration of leaves in artificial illumination conditions.

02:50Transgenic Plants
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
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...
