Plant transformation: Needs and futurity of the transgenes

Abstract

To produce fransgenic plants which have various applications in agricultural and non-agricultural fields, a marker gene is necessary to recover a viable transgenic plant. To express or transcribe of trarisgenes, utilization of promoters is also unavoidable. Analysis of transgenes includes copy number, insertion site, integration stability, expression and it's pattern and variability is immensely important in order to develop a successful transgenic event. This review presents the necessities for better recovery of trarisgenic plants, transcription or expression of transgenes, as well as methods to analyze transgenes. © 2011 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
