Abstract

The pair of primers for amplification of the 35S CaMV promoter sequence using polymerase chain reaction have been designed. The primers allow to carry out screening of transgenic plants transformed with any construction containing this promoter. A possibility to screen transgenic plants of several species including N. tabacum, P. satlvum, T. vulgaram, B. oleracea, B. napus has been showed.
