A clone of 1.8 Kb was picked from the library and is being sequenced. Finally, work is in progress to obtain transgenic plants in Sandalwood using marker genes like GUS and kanamycin. Transformation was confirmed by Southern hybridization of the embryos. We are yet to establish plantlets. We will be interested to interact with groups working in the area of pathogenesis related genes, embryo specific genes and plant transformation.
Suggestions are welcome.
