Anliucheng (Citrus sinensis Osbeck), a very seedy and widely spread acidless sweet orange cultivar in south of China, was transformed by the strain of Agrobacterium Tumefaciens EHA105 carrying pTA29-barnase gene, which will induce pollen sterility in transgenic plants. The embryogenic calli of Anliucheng were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens for 3 days, and then transferred to selective medium containing 50 mg L-1 basta (a kind of herbicide) for 5 weeks. The resistant calli were recovered and regenerated 118 embryoids. A total of 13 entire plants were obtained after micro-grafted on trifoliate orange. These regenerated plants were verified by PCR amplification and confirmed by PCR-Southern blotting analysis.
