* Hygromycin as plant selection system.

** For each project, a fixed number of explant materials are infected with construct provided by customer. Typical yield of a project ranges from 5 to 15 independent transgenic events (or lines) with an average of 10 events. Transgenic "event" refers to a transgenic line that has one or more transgenes integrated into the genome of a single cell. Typically multiple events (or lines) are generated for any DNA construct carrying gene of interest. Each transgenic event (or line) represents an independent transgene integration event.


Product Description

Plantlet

Hygromycin 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.


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.
