Wheat - Specific Patent Information

A fertile, transgenic wheat plant, the genome of which has been altered through the genomic introduction of a pre-selected genetic component, said component comprising an exogenous gene positioned under the control of one or more pre-selected genetic control elements, the plant prepared by a process comprising:

A) preparing a DNA composition in vitro, which composition includes the genetic component one desires to introduce into the genome of a wheat plant;
B) introducing said DNA composition into recipient wheat cells by Agrobacterium transformation;
C) regenerating wheat plants from said cells which have received said genetic component; and
D) identifying a fertile, transgenic wheat plant whose genome has been altered through the stable introduction of said genetic component, and wherein said recipient cells comprise an immature embryo, a callus tissue, or suspension cells.

A fertile, transgenic wheat plant, the genetic complement of which has been altered through the addition of a DNA composition comprising a pre-selected functional genetic element that includes a transgene selected from the group consisting of an nptll gene, a bla gene, a nptI gene, a dhfr gene, a aphlV gene, a aacC3 gene, a aacC4 gene and a GUS gene, wherein said functional genetic element confers on said wheat plant a phenotypic trait that is not found in the parentage of said plant, wherein said DNA composition was added using Agrobacterium transformation of recipient cells comprising an immature embryo, a callus tissue, or suspension cells.

A fertile, transgenic wheat plant, the genome of which has been altered through the genomic introduction of a pre-selected genetic component, said component comprising an exogenous gene positioned under the control of one or more pre-selected genetic control elements, substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to any one of the examples.

A method for producing a fertile transgenic wheat plant, comprising the steps of:

A) establishing a regenerable culture from a wheat plant to be transformed, wherein said culture comprises an immature embryo, a callus tissue, or suspension cells;
B) introducing a DNA composition comprising a genetic component one desires to introduce into the genome of said wheat plant, by Agrobacterium transformation;
C) identifying or selecting a transformed cell line; and
D) regenerating a fertile transgenic wheat plant therefrom, wherein said DNA is transmitted through a complete sexual cycle of said transgenic plant to its progeny, wherein said progeny comprises a selectable or screenable marker gene, and wherein said marker gene is chromosomally integrated.
