Journal ArticleDOI
Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana root explants by using kanamycin selection.
TL;DR: A transformation procedure for Arabidopsis root explants based on kanamycin selection was established and an Agrobacterium tumor-inducing Ti plasmid carrying a chimeric neomycin phosphotransferase II gene (neo) was introduced, resulting in transformed seed-producing plants obtained with an efficiency between 20% and 80% within 3 months after gene transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of genes expressed in specific tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana by differential screening of a genomic library.
TL;DR: The advantage of the described method is that it yields directly genomic sequences that contain specifically expressed or induced genes, which circumvents the construction and differential screening of cDNA libraries for every tissue or environmental parameter to be analyzed.
Book ChapterDOI
Arabidopsis regeneration and transformation (Root Explant System)
TL;DR: This chapter describes a simple and highly reproducible procedure for regeneration and transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh, and the explant source is the root system of the plant.
Book ChapterDOI
Transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana Using Root Explants
TL;DR: A simple and highly reproducible tissue-culture procedure for transformation of Arabidopsis using Agrobacterium tumefaciens as the gene delivery system and the roots of axenically grown plants as the explant source is developed.
