Abstract:
Production of homozygous transgenic plants is a prerequisite for the phenotypic analysis and/or for the commercial release of transgenic plants for cultivation. Here we present a simple protocol for the selection of homozygous transgenics using antibiotics as a selectable marker. The protocol has been used to select homozygous rice transgenic plants using hygromycin antibiotic. However, the described protocol can be used for selction of homozygous in any transgenic plants using a appropriate selectable marker. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Passricha et al. (2016).1.

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...
Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...
