Cloned (Comment) Organism
high-level expression of betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase in cultured cells, roots, and leaves of carrot via plastid genetic engineering. Homoplasmic transgenic plants that exhibit high levels of salt tolerance are regenerated from bombarded cell cultures via somatic embryogenesis. Transformation efficiency of carrot somatic embryos is very high, with one transgenic event per approximately seven bombarded plates under optimal conditions. In vitro transgenic carrot cells transformed with the badh transgene are visually green in color when compared to untransformed carrot cells, this offers a visual selection for transgenic lines. Transgenic carrot plants expressing BADH grow in presence of high concentrations of NaCl, up to 400 mM Daucus carota
