摘要
Transgenic plants are traditionally characterized using phenotypic and Southern analyses. Over the last several years, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has been efficiently used for visualization, chromosomal localization and estimation of numbers of transgene loci in transgenic plants. Recent results obtained in different plant species transformed using either Agrobacterium tumefaciens or microprojectile bombardment indicate that FISH is also a powerful tool for characterization of transgene locus structure that significantly augments conventional Southern analysis. The aim of this review is to document the usefulness of FISH for characterization of transgene loci in plants.
