PROJECT 1 ABSTRACTArs Agreement • June 27th, 2022
Contract Type FiledJune 27th, 2022Over the past few years there has been increasing interest from the Fusarium community to establish a centralized wheat transformation facility to minimize cost and duplication. The overall goal of this proposal is the formal establishment of such a centralized wheat transformation center and to provide a no-cost transformation service to the FHB research community. Under this proposal researchers would submit their requests for wheat transformation and provide the appropriate expression vectors along with primer information to detect their gene(s) of interest. The facility will provide consultation to individual researchers on vector design, if requested. The facility would introduce their traits into tissue competent cultivars, regenerate transgenic lines, and screen putative events for the selectable marker and gene of interest. The customer would be provided by the facility DNA samples of primary transgenic events and T1 generation seeds approximately ten events. In addition to tra
