Study on transient expression of gus gene inChlorelia ellipsoidea (Chlorophyta) by using biolistic particle delivery system

Study on the transient expression of GUS gene at different growing stage ofChlorella ellipsoidea using high velocity microprojectiles, the effects of osmosis, the distance between microprojectile and target cell, bombardment times, are reported in this paper. The results showed thatC. ellipsoidea in exponential phase has higer level of transient expression and that treatment with osmosis can improve the GUS transient expression notably. The effect of distance or bombardment times was not observed.
