A plant expression plasmid was constructed under the control of CaMV35s promoter and was used in rice transformation. The target gene was successfully introduced into mature embryos of a japonica rice cultivar Jindao 107 by Agrobacterium- mediated transformation and hundreds of transgenic plants were obtained. The exogenous atzA gene in the transgenic plants that expressed atrazine resistance was confirmed by Southern blot hybridization. The resistance experiments by spraying transgenic rice plants with 0.133% atrazine shown that most of the transgenic rice plants exhibited the resistance to herbicide atrazine. The segregation of exogenous atzA gene in T1 progeny corresponded to the Mendelian ratio.展开更多
