It is first reported in this paper that Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains T37, A208 and B6 can transform some varieties of Triticum aestivum and Hordeum vulgare to form swellings and tumors. Itis shown in the experiments that phenolic compound acetosyringone may promote the transformation process. In addition, inoculating agrobacteria on appropriate plant tissues is also proved to be the key step in achieving successful transformation. The host range of A. tumefaciens and the possibility of utilizing Ti plasmid as the vector for the gene transfer of cereal crops are discussed.展开更多

In order to improve the transformation frequency of waxy maize, in this study, shoot tips and immature embryo-derived callus of Lainongnuo 38 were collected as receptor materials, to compare the effects of pH in suspension medium, addition modes and concentrations of acetosyringone on genetic transformation of waxy maize. Results showed that adding 2 μl of 150 μmol/L AS in the wound with suspension medimn at pH 5.2 can significantly improve the transformation frequency of shoot tips of waxy maize; in genetic transformation of maize callus, adding 5 mg/L AS in infection solution can significantly improve the percentage of resistant callus.展开更多

Parallel activity of laccase in these fungi was studied. The addition of acetovanillone (AV) or acetosyringone (AS) intensified these processes: decolourization was more extensive than in the experiment omitting these compounds. At the presence of AS the decourization was more extensive than AV. However the level of decolorizing was relatively low in comparison to laccase activity on syringaldazine. The highly purified constitutive form of Cerrena unicolor and inducible form of Trametes versicolor laccases also destained both dyes. Anyway the addition of AV and AS improved the efficiency of dyes decolourization by wood rotting fungi and fungal laccase. Nitrogen starvation induced the laccase and decoloration activity in both organisms, irrespective of nitrogen availability. This fact indicates laccase not solely responsible for discoloration, and probably discoloration of dyes involves more than one mechanism.展开更多
