Hi II genotype (per project*) | ||

* For each project, a fixed number of explant materials are bombarded with plasmid DNA provided by customer. Typical yield of a project ranges from 5-10 independent transgenic events (or lines) with an average of 7-8 events. Transgenic "event" refers to a transgenic line that has one or more transgenes integrated into the genome of a single cell. Contact Kan Wang for questions, or to place orders.
Product Description
PlantletBialaphos resistant plantlets rooted in a Petri dish containing regeneration medium. Typically, 2-4 plants per event are sent to customer at the completion of the project.
SeedSeed from Bialaphos resistant plants are sent to customer at the completion of the project.
CallusBialaphos resistant callus cultures. Each bombardment yields about 25 Bialaphos resistant callus events (for Hi II) of which 60-90% will contain your gene of interest (when co-bombarded with the bar construct).
We strive to provide the best possible products and services that we can achieve. However, there are unforeseen circumstances that are beyond our control that may prevent us from achieving a desired outcome. For example, a construct that contains genes that interfere with plant regeneration. Unfortunately, we do not know that such a construct exists until after processing several steps in to the project. If the facility determines that a transgenic event will not occur and that the project is unsuccessful, the project will be terminated after consultation with the customer and a fee will be assessed based on the percentage of work completed.
