Abstract:

In this study,exogenous gene Bet-A (encoding choline dehydrogenase,synthesizing glycine betaine) was introduced into Populus simonii×P.nigra by Agro-bacterium tumefacien,so as to enhance salt resistance in transformed plant.Firstly,the optimal media of P.simonii×P.nigra for bud differentiation and rooting were established.The sensitivity of the explants to Kanamycin was tested in order to decide a reasonable selective pressure for transformation.Secondly,Bet-A gene was introduced into leaves of asepsis plants of poplar by agrobacterium,and then transformed poplar plants were obtained.PCR and southern blotting analyses showed that Bet-A gene has been integrated into the genome of P.simonii×P.nigra.

Key words: Glycine betaine, Bet-A gene, Genetic transformation, Populus simonii×, P.nigra
