| Abstract | To investigate its potential application as a selectable marker for plant transformation, the mannitol producing, celery mannose-6-phosphate reductase gene (M6PR) was transformed into Arabidopsis and tobacco using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. Mannose-tolerance assays in transgenic materials revealed that the M6PR can act as a selectable marker gene in either a positive or a negative selection mode depending on the plant species. For mannose sensitive species, such as Arabidopsis, expression of M6PR enhanced mannose tolerance and provided a positive selection for transgenic seeds. On medium containing 2 g/L mannose, transgenic seeds germinated, whereas wild type (WT) seeds did not. For mannose-tolerant species, expression of M6PR increased mannose sensitivity in tobacco and enabled a negative selection for transgenic leaves and seeds. Mannose at 30 g/L blanched leaf explants from all 29 transgenic tobacco events with M6PR. In contrast, 30 g/L mannose did not inhibit shoot regeneration from leaf explants of WT or transgenic plants with either an antisense M6PR or a plasmid control. Similarly, mannose at 30 g/L inhibited seed germination of transgenic tobacco seeds with M6PR but not that of WT or transgenic tobacco with either the antisense M6PR or the plasmid control. Northern blot confirmed transcripts of the M6PR in transgenic tobacco, and accumulation of mannitol verified activity of the M6PR in tobacco leaves. Either positive or negative selection using the celery M6PR is versatile for plant transformation. Additionally, the celery M6PR is a potential target gene for improving salt-tolerance in plants due to mannitol accumulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
