Development of an alternative plant transformation method
EF 2013-14
Résumé
The focus of this project will be to isolate bacteria from soil to help identify alternative bacteria that can beused to transfer/insert genes of interest into potato plants.Solanum Genomics International Inc. (SGII) offers services in plant transformation (insertion of genes ofinterest) into potatoes for clients seeking this service. Currently, the bacteria available for use for gene insertionare patent protected with large licensing fees or not efficient enough to support commercial planttransformation for small and medium companies looking to make use of these technologies for cropimprovement.In partnership with the Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick, SGII is looking to identify a newbacteria strain that can be used for commercial crop improvement technologies.
