After analyzing tomato plants transformed with GalUR gene for their ascorbic acid contents, it was found that some transgenic lines contained higher levels of ascorbic acid compared to control plants. In the present study, callus induction rate was 50.2 % in the explant and shoot regeneration rate w...
