title: [Establishment of a method for GUS gene transferring into wheat (Triticum astivum L.) embryos by low energy ion beam implantation].
abstract: Physical parameters influencing transformation of wheat mediated by low energy ion beam, including type of ion, parameters of ion energy, dose and dose rate, were studied. Ar+ was regarded as suitable ions implanted in transformation. 20-25 keV of energy, 4.68 x 10(16) ions/cm2 of dose, 2.6 x 10(15) ions/cm2 of dose rate were chosen as appropriate implantation parameters. The suitable culture conditions for induction and growth of callus and the optimal selection scheme were established, After implantation and selection, resistant calli and hygromycin-resistant plantlets were obtained from three varieties. Molecular analysis data proved that GUS gene had integrated into the wheat genome. The mature embryo transformation efficiency of wherat variety Yangmai 5, Yangmai 158, Wanmai 32 reached 9.5%, 10.8%, 11.2% measured in produced hygromycin-resistant callus and 1.4%, 3.4%, 1.7% measured in regenerated plants, respectively, This experiment provides a basis for further investigation of wheat transformation system. Low energy ion beam mediated transformation can be extended to other plant recalcitrant to Agrobacterium tumefaciens as soon as methodological parameters are optimized.
