TLDR
The presence of transgenes in transformed azuki bean plants was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and southern blot analysis and demonstrates the feasibility of introducing potentially useful agronomic traits into azukibean through genetic engineering.Abstract:
Transgenic azuki bean [ Vigna angularis (Willd.) Ohwi & Ohashi] plants expressing the hygromycin phosphotransferase ( hpt ), green fluorescent protein ( sgfp ) and phosphinothricin acetyltransferase ( bar ) genes were obtained by Agrobacterium- tumefacients - mediated transformation. A total of 210 epicotyl explants were inoculated with A. tumefaciens strain EHA105, harboring the binary plasmid pZHBG on MS co-cultivation medium supplemented with 100 mM acetosyringone and 10 mg/l of BA. Following selection on MS medium with 15 mg/l of hygromycin, the regenerated adventitious shoots that formed on the induced calli were further screened for sgfp expression before transferred to rooting medium. 31 transgenic plants were obtained with transformation frequency of 14%. The presence of transgenes in transformed azuki bean plants was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and southern blot analysis. Transcription of the bar and hpt genes was assessed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. sgfp- positive transgenic plants exhibited functional expression of the bar gene as determined by assaying for resistance to bialaphos applied directly to leaves. This result demonstrates the feasibility of introducing potentially useful agronomic traits into azuki bean through genetic engineering.

Agrobacterium-induced hypersensitive necrotic reaction in azuki bean (Vigna angularis) epicotyls.
TL;DR: Results of histochemical detection and image analysis for reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide and hydrogen peroxide and lignin accumulation in these necrotic cells revealed that tissue browning was partly affected by ROS production, which was a biphasic response during co-clutivation.
Transgenic Azuki Bean Approaches
TL;DR: This review is an attempt to summarize the progress in transgenic azuki bean technology, with particular emphasis on agronomic and nutritional traits.

TL;DR: In vivo redox biosensing resolves the spatiotemporal dynamics of compartmental responses to local ROS generation and provide a basis for understanding how compartment-specific redox dynamics may operate in retrograde signaling and stress 67 acclimation in plants.

Engineered GFP as a vital reporter in plants
TL;DR: It is reported that an extensively modified GFP is a versatile and sensitive reporter in a variety of living plant cells and in transgenic plants, and the codon usage effect might be universal, allowing the design of recombinant proteins with high expression efficiency in evolutionarily distant species such as humans and maize.

TL;DR: Progeny from two transgenic soybean plants demonstrated co-segregation of kanamycin resistance and either GUS expression or glyphosate tolerance in a 3:1 ratio indicating a single insert inherited in a Mendelian fashion.
