Abstract: The engineered male sterile gene barnase together with the mark gene bar were transformed to the isolated cotyledon of a sesane variety Yuzhi 4 by microprojectile bomebardment.The transformed cotyledon was cultured under darkness for 12 days then converted into dark 1ight alternative conditions on the culture media MS+5mg.L -1 6-BA+1mg•L-1 IAA+1mg•L-1 ABA+5mg•L - AgNO3 Resistant calli were selected on herbicide Basta 2mg.L-1 11 anti Basta plants were obtained.Southern blot of 3 well developed green plants confirmed stable integration of both barnase and bar genes into nuclear DNA.The transfomation efficiency reached 1.46%.
