Abstract excerpt
Zea mays transformants produced by particle bombardment of embryogenic suspension culture cells of the genotype A188 x B73 and selected on kanamycin or bialaphos were characterized with respect to transgene integration, expression, and inheritance. Selection on bialaphos, mediated by the bar or pat genes, was more efficient than selection on kanamycin, mediated by the nptII gene. Most transformants contained...
