Selection of transformed shoots was carried out by gradually increasing the concentration of phosphinotrycin (PPT) up to 2.0 mg/l. Transgenic lentil shoots were produced with an overall frequency of 0.36 in case of BM-4 and BM-6 and 0.34 in case of BM-5, respectively. Most of the selected shoots developed <em>in vitro </em>flowers and pods following their sub-culture on half strength of MS supplemented with 20 mg/l IBA, 0.5 mg/l NAA with 50 mg/l ticarcillin. Seedlings germinated from the seeds were successfully transferred to soil for the development of further progeny. Stable integration of target gene was confirmed through PCR analysis.</p> <p>Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 29(1): 99-109, 2019 (June)</p>}, number={1}, journal={Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology}, author={Das, Subroto K and Shethi, Kishwar Jahan and Hoque, MI and Sarker, RH}, year={2019}, month={Jun.}, pages={99–109} }
