Abstract:
Seedling hypocotyl explants ofGlycine canescens were inoculated withAgrobacterium rhizogenes carrying a chimaeric NPTII gene cointegrated into the TL-DNA of pRiA4. Transformed roots produced shoots on B5 based medium with 10.0 mgl(-1) BAP, 0.05 mgl(-1) IBA and 50 μgml(-1) kanamycin. Cultured roots and regenerated plants expressed NPTII enzyme activity which was correlated with the presence of Ri TL-DNA and the structural sequence of the NPTII gene.

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...
