Biotechnology Resources for Arable Crop Transformation (BRACT) is a Defra funded research programme to provide an efficient transformation capability for the main UK crops, while facilitating further improvements in transformation technology and delivery to the UK research community.
BRACT will provide all resources needed to facilitate transformation including:

    

  • Efficient transformation methodologies for the main UK crops: wheat, barley and oilseed rape.

  • A range of transformation facilities to meet user demand.

  • Easy to use GatewayTM compatible transformation vectors.

  • Technology to produce transgenic plants free of selectable marker genes.





The BRACT project is a collaboration between Rothamsted Research and the John Innes Centre.
