When the same soil layer of suspension stock solution was diluted at both 1:1 000 and 1:10 000 rates, there were no significant differences in bacterium colony numbers between the inoculation plates of both transgenic and non-transgenic poplars. The uniform results were revealed for both soil layer suspension solutions of identical poplars at both dilution rates except for non-transgenic poplars at 1:10 000 dilution rates from the same type of soil. No significant variation in morphology of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria was observed under the microscope. The potential transgene dispersal from root exudates or fallen leaves to non-target microbes was repudiated by PCR analysis, in which no CpTI gene specific DNA band was amplified for 15 sites of transgenic rhizospheric soil samples. It can be concluded that transgenic poplar with the CpTI gene has no severe impact on rhizospheric microorganisms and is tentatively safe to surrounding soil micro-ecosystem.展开更多

The transformed regeneration shoots were obtained directly by leaf discs.In order to established selection condition,leaf discs were cultured in the medium with increasing concentration kanamycin.Kanamycin resistant(km r)plantlets were obtained by 3～4 cycles screening in selective condition.Then transformed shoots were rooted in the medium containing kanamycin 50?mg/L and transferred to greenhouse.The presence of CpTI gene in transgenic plants were confirmed by PCR and PCR\|Southern blot.展开更多
