The genus Eleutherococcus includes multiple medicinal plants that hold significant value in the fields of medicine, health, economy, and food. The resources of this genus are widely distributed and rich in secondary metabolites. The secondary metabolites reported in Eleutherococcus plants include various types, such as terpenoids, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and lignans, which exhibit pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects.

[Research on Festuca arundinacea transformation mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens].

The embryo-derived calli from four types of tall fescues (Festuca arundinacea Schreb) were transformed with two Agrobactrium tumefaciens strains AGL1 and GV3101. AGL1 harbors an intron-AtNHX1 expression vector pROK2U containing ubiqutin promoter and npt II marker gene. GV3101 harbors an intron-AtNHX1 expression vector pROK2 containing 35S promoter and npt II gene.
