Evaluation of Gibberellin 20-Oxidase and ROLC Genes for Dwarfing Ornamental Plants

  • Chapter
Plant Biotechnology and In Vitro Biology in the 21st Century

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 36))

Abstract

A gibberellin 20-oxidase gene from pumpkin and the rolC gene from Agrobacterium rhizogenes were introduced into Solanum dulcamara using A. tumefaciens-mediated delivery. Southern hybridisation confirmed the presence of transgenes in kanamycin-resistant regenerants. The phenotypes of transgenic plants indicated significant alterations in development, especially in relation to stature. Dwarfism in transgenic S. dulcamara is discussed in relation to GA metabolism.
