Study on Salt Resistance of Peanut Seedlings with Transgenic BADH and mtlD

TLDR: The expression of the mtlD and BADH gene are able to enhance the salt resistance of peanut.

Abstract: [Objective] The aim was to study the salt resistance of peanut seedlings with transgenic BADH and mtlD.[Method] mtlD and BADH gene are transformed into peanut with the help of Agrobactrium tumefaciens,the salt resistance of transgenic peanut is determined by detecting the plants fresh weight,height and conductivity.[Result] The hybridization of PCR and Northern indicate that the mtlD and BADH gene have been integrated into genome of peanut and expressed in transgenic peanut plants;the values of fresh weight,height and the integrity of the cell membrane increase significantly compared with the control plants.[Conclusion] The expression of the mtlD and BADH gene are able to enhance the salt resistance of peanut.
