Abstract: Tender leaves of Stylosanthes guianensis cv . Reyan Ⅱ were transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 carrying the gene VP1 coding food-and-mouth disease virus outer capsid protein . After 3 times kanamycin-resistant selection , the regenerated plantlets were analyzed further by PCR, PCRSouthern blot and Southern blot, the results confirmed that the VP1 gene were integrated in the genome . The results of RT-PCR and Northern blot of transgenic plants showed that VP1 gene was transcribed in transgenic plants .
