Zusammenfassung:Infection of Ulmus procera (English elm) cloneSR4 internodal stem explants with Agrobacteriumtumefaciens C58 c1 pRiA4b resulted in callusdevelopment and extensive hairy root production. Shoots which regenerated from hairy roots, followingan extended culture period, were dwarf in stature,with reduced apical dominance and wrinkled leaves whencompared with wild type U. procera SR4. Shootswere rooted successfully and plants with extensiveroot systems have been transferred to soil. Thetransgenic status of regenerants was confirmed by PCRanalysis and DNA sequencing of pRiA4b TL- and TR- DNArolA (329 bp) and agropine synthase (490 bp)primed amplimers, which were 100% homologous to theexpected sequences. No vir D1 primed PCRproducts were obtained, indicating that the Agrobacterium was successfully removed. Thepotential of Ri plasmid mediated transformation forinducing altered elm xylem structure, restrictedspread of the Dutch elm disease fungus and inphytoremediation is discussed.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
