Abstract:An efficient transformation system for wheat was established by improving transformation conditions for the particle bombardment of immature embryos.Particle bombardment was carried out using pDM803 containing the reporter gene β-glucuronidase(GUS) and bar gene.Transformation parameters,such as the size of immature embryos,the distance of bombardment,the amount of gold particles and plasmid used per bombardment were analyzed.The immature embryo of 1.0~1.5 mm was optimal.The transient expression of GUS reached the highest when the immature embryos were bombarded twice at the distance of 6 cm and 9 cm,using 300 μg gold particles and 0.5 μg plasmid per bombardment.
