Abstract

Potato plants of Lugovskoy and Desiree cultivars have been transformed with the construction containing mutant gene coding for acetolactate synthase from Arabidopsis thaliana by means of cocultivation of different explants with Agrobacterium. Using Southern and nothern blotting hybridizations an integration of the gene in plant genome and its expression on transcriptional level have been shown.
