초록

An efficient transformation protocol was established for Chinese foxglove, Rehmannia glutinosa L., using Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Putative transgenic plants were induced from leaf explants co-cultivated with Agrobacterium. Detection of the neomycin phosphotransferase gene, high activity of β-glucuronidase (GUS) transcripts and histochemical localization of GUS confin-ned the integrative transformation of Chinese foxglove. This result demonstrates the potential for using A. tumefaciens to transfer important genes into commercial Chinese foxglove cultivars.
