TABLE 1.
Stable transformation efficiency of transgenic plants from cotyledon explants of B. rapa.
| Total no. of infected cotyledon explants | Total no. of shoots survived under third selection | Total no. of rooted shoots | Total no. of GUS positive plants | Total no. of Southern blot positive plants | Stable transformation efficiency (%) |
| 128 | 64.0b | 38.0b | 24.0b | 18.0a | 14.0a |
| 128 | 72.0a | 42.0a | 26.0a | 19.0a | 14.8a |
| 128 | 58.0c | 34.0c | 21.0c | 17.0a | 13.2a |
Values represent the mean of three experiments. Transformation efficiency = (number of southern positive plants/total number of infected cotyledon explants)/100. a−cMeans with the same letter are not significantly different at 5% level according to Duncan’s multiple range test.
