THE EFFECT OF XYLOGLUCANASE GENE EXPRESSION FROM PENICILLIUM CANESCENS ON PHENOTYPE OF TRANSGENIC ASPEN PLANTS

Xyloglucanases are special enzymes that decompose a xylo­glucan chain and provide growth for plant cell. Twenty-five aspen lines with recombinant xyloglucanase gene p-Xeg were produced and characterized. All the transgenic lines demonstrate different phenotypic effects of xyloglucanase overexpression.
