%X shoot apex, leaf primordia, leaf sections and roots from mexican prickly poppy seedlings, were inoculated with agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring the binary vector pcambia2301, which contained the ¦Â-glucuronidase (uid a) gene. histochemical ¦Â-glucuronidase (gus) assay in infected explants showed transient gus gene expression between 3 and 12 days after inoculation. to our knowledge, this is the first report of a. mexicana susceptibility to a. tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation
