Abstract
Summary: Two non-linked marker genes (gus and bar) were co-introduced by microprojectile bombardment into wheat cells. Four different DNA structures were compared with respect to ability to integrate into the wheat genome: circular or linear (1) DNA as a single- or double-stranded plasmid (ss and ds, respectively). In eight independent experiments, linearized DNA integrated in the ds or ss form with a high efficiency of up to 14% for l-ssDNA. Molecular analyses by Southern blotting showed that all DNA forms gave a similar complicated integration pattern of the bar gene
