Research abstract
We will develop an optimized transformation system with Agrobacterium to provide marker-free transgGenetically engineered plants that lack antibiotic or herbicide resistance genes are free of concernenvironmental effects that might arise from the use of these marker genes. Moreover, with each new tselectable marker must be used. This proposal will allow development of transgenic plants lacking mavector sequences. The marker and transgene contained on two different T-DNAs, each in a different Agare introduced into the cell in a process that selects for a co- transformation event. Segregation irecovery of marker-free transgenic plants. Technology obtained in Phase I using Arabidopsis will beplants in Phase II.
