Expression of apple MdMYB10 transcription factor in sugar beet with a screenable marker role and antimicrobial activity.

ABSTRACT: Selection of transgenic plants by using genes encoding screenable markers of plant origin with health benefit properties, such as anthocyanin is an important aim in plant genetic engineering. In this study, Malus domestica MYB10 (MdMYB10) gene, was used for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of two SBS-02 and SBS-04 sugar beet lines. The impact of different light regimes on plant tissue culture from a combination of light, dark/light and dark was investigated. The results of this study showed that the MdMYB10 gene was successfully integrated into the selected purple transgenic lines, suggesting that the expression of MdMYB10 gene in sugar beet shoots can be used as a screenable markers for transformation, possibly replacing antibiotic resistant genes.
