Abstract:
A method for producing transgenic Impatiens plants, comprising the steps of:(a) introducing an expression vector into an Impatiens plant tissue explant to produce a transformed explant, wherein said expression vector comprises a selectable marker gene and a second foreign gene and said plant tissue explant is selected from the group consisting of Impatiens shoot tips, Impatiens hypocotyl tips, and Impatiens node regions, or (a) introducing two expression vectors into said plant tissue explant to produce a transformed explant, wherein one expression vector comprises a selectable marker gene, and wherein the other expression vector comprises a second foreign gene; (b) culturing said transformed explant on a selection medium; (c) culturing said transformed explant on a regeneration medium; and (d) recovering fertile transgenic plants from said transgenic explants capable of transmitting said second foreign gene to progeny.
