Production of transgenic pea (pisum sativum l.) plants resistant to pursuit herbicide

Cytology and Genetics 2005, v 39, number 2, 16-21

Transgenic pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants containing mutant ahas/als gene were obtained using Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation. Transformation has been carried out using cocultivation of pea explants with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain lBA4404 carrying genetic vectors pCB004, pCB006 and pCB007 containing ahas/als and nptII genes .The presence of transferred genes in the genomes of transgenic plants has been confirmed by PCR analysis.
