Abstract:
AGPase gene, the critical starch sy nthesis enzyme gene,was transformed into hig h-class rice No.35, 38, 39, 41, 42 by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and fertile transgenic rice plants were obtained.The results of PCR indicated that the foreign gene had been integ rated into the rice genome.The research showed that 1000-grain weight of transgenic plants was obviously improved, but the starch content of the rice was little changed.
Key words:
AGPase gene,
Ag robacterium tumefaciens,
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR),
The starch content of rice,
1000-g rain weight
