Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, relates to the gene transformation of bioenergy plant switchgrass, and further relates to a method for obtaining switchgrass transgenic plants by transformation through the transformation method mediated by Agrobacterium. Background technique
[0002] Using transgenic technology to genetically improve energy plants is a new breakthrough in the application of modern genetic engineering technology in the field of agriculture. Switchgrass is an important new bioenergy plant and has become one of the main targets of genetic transformation. Among them, the use of transgenic technology to enhance the stress resistance of switchgrass, improve photosynthetic efficiency, increase biological yield, reduce lignin content and increase ethanol yield has become a research hotspot and shows good application prospects.
[0003] The Agrobacterium-mediated gene transformation system has become the preferred method fo...
