Double transform ation system w as used fo r production o f transgenic
phosphinothricin-resistant plants o f comm ercial pea lines
(Pisum sativum
L .).
This system consists o f two steps: 1) production o f regenerable pea
lines after transform ation w ith "shooty" mutant о
f A.tumefaciens
pGV2206;
2) transform ation of regenerable lines with the plasm id pK3 containing two
genes: bar and nptll. After transformation o f 8 primary pea lines with pGV2206
plasm id three regenerable lines were selected, which were used in the further
tra n s fo rm a tio n expe rim en ts. H e rb icid e -re sista n t pea lines have been
produced after transform ation o f regenerable lines w ith "binary” vectors
A.tumefacience
pMP90 pK3 and pGV2206 pK3. T ransform ed callus w as
selected on the medium containing 10 mg/L o f ammonium glufosinate. Shoot
regeneration via organogenesis began after several passages on regeneration
m edium . T ransform ed plants were selected on the m edium containing 10
m g/L o f amm onium glufosinate. The obtained herbicide resistant shoots
w ere grafted on to normal pea plants in greenhouse conditions fo r seed
production, because root form ation are suppressed in these lines. Besides
this w
e
have developed the method o f seed production
in vitro.
The bar and
nptll genes expressed in both the prim ary transgenic pea plants and in the
next generation progeny, w here they showed a typ ical 3:1 M endelian
inheritance. The transm ission o f the introduced gene into the progeny o f the
tra n s g e n ic p la n ts w a s stu d ie d o ve r tw o g e n e ra tio n s, and the sta b le
transm ission was shown to take place. Transformation o f regenerated plants
w as confirm ed by P C R -a n a lysis, Southern blot hybridisation and assays
fo r neomycin phosphotransferase.
