The optimal concentration of kanamycin to strain fungus is 50mg/l and of carbenicillin and cefotaxime is 500mg/l. Regeneration ratio of adventitious buds will improve 3-fold by adding of 100μM AS to regeneration medium. The optimal pre-cultivation period for leaf disc transformation is 3~4 days, the ideal time for leaf disc dipping in Agrobacterium is 10~20 minutes, and the optimal co-cultivation is 4 days. Transformed plants of white birch were obtained under above conditions and the transformation rate is 2.8%. %U https://bbr.nefu.edu.cn/EN/abstract/article_2711.shtml
