Abstract

Culture conditions were developed that induce Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. root cuttings to regenerate shoots rapidly and at 100% efficiency. The shoots produce viable seeds in vitro or after rooting in soil. A transformation procedure for Arabidopsis root explants based on kanamycin selection was established. By using this regeneration procedure and an Agrobacterium tumor-inducing Ti plasmid carrying a chimeric neomycin phosphotransferase II gene ( neo ), transformed seed-producing plants were obtained with an efficiency between 20% and 80% within 3 months after gene transfer. F 1 seedlings of these transformants showed Mendelian segregation of the kanamycin-resistance trait. The transformation method could be applied to three different Arabidopsis ecotypes. In addition to the neo gene, a chimeric bar gene conferring resistance to the herbicide Basta was introduced into Arabidopsis . The expression of the bar gene was shown by enzymatic assay.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
