tumefaciens vectors containing the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene and the NPT II
gene for kanamycin resistance as a selectable marker. High frequency of transformation,
based on kanamycin resistance and assays for GUS expression, was obtained with 24 to 72-
h-old cotyledon explants cocultivated for 48 h with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. After the
cocultivation period, the explants were placed in selection medium containing 50 or 100 mg …
