Effect of the Insertion of Fe-SOD1 Gene on the Growth, Peroxide Homeostasis, and Status of the Pigment Complex of Transgenic Potato Plants
Agrobacterium-mediated trans!ormation o! potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) variety Bellarosa has been performed. The integration o! Fe-superoxide dismutase (Fe-SOD1) gene into the genome o! transformed potato plants has been confirmed by polymerase chain reaction amplification. In the vegetative progeny oTr1 and Tr2, no phenotypic violations have beenound. No reliable di!!erences between the morphometric, physiological, and biochemical parameters indicated the absence o! changes in the transormed plants.
