Costs 

The prices below give an indication of the costs involved in producing transgenic plants in each species when we are provided with the necessary Agrobacterium or DNA for bombardment. Plants are determined to be transgenic based on their ability to grow on selection, if you would like confirmation of transgene integration by molecular techniques this will be an additional cost. Accurate prices can be given once the project has been discussed in greater detail.

Brassica oleracea and B.napus

  • For each construct we will aim to provide 10 independent T0 transgenics
  • These will be supplied as rooted in vitro cultures

    = £4, 610 (valid to June 2011)

  • T1 seed can also be supplied at an additional cost

Wheat

  • The experiment will comprise sufficient explants per construct to produce 15-20 independent transgenic lines.

  • The cost for the basic transformation service is:

     

             For 15-20 independent transgenic wheat lines using biolistics:  £7,270 - £8,785 (price subject to review)

             For 15-20 independent transgenic wheat lines using Agrobacterium:  £8,409 - £9,937 (price subject to review)

     

  • Please contact us to discuss exact requirements.

Barley

  • For each construct we will provide at least 10 - 20 independent transgenic lines.

  • We will provide you with small rooted plants.

  • Costs may vary depending on exact requirements so please contact us to discuss details.

    • Agrobacterium = £3,508 per construct

 

  • If you would like us to provide T1 seeds or plants this is also possible. Please contact us to discuss details.

Transformation Constructs

  • To prepare transformation constructs containing the customer’s gene or sequence of interest:

                                       =     £2,368 per construct.

  • Please contact BRACT to discuss any construct work further.
