These results indicate that  the HCHO assimilation pathway strongly enhanced not only the tolerance of the transgenic plants to exogenous HCHO, but also their ability to take up and eliminate gaseous HCHO.

<p style="color:#1b1b1b;">We extracted DNA from tobacco plants. And then we used specific primers to amplify the target gene to verify the kan-resistant plants (Fig.6). Next we extracted RNA from tobacco leaves which are PCR positive. We used  RT-PCR to detect whether target gene was expressed (Fig.7).</p>

<p style="color:#1b1b1b;">The transgenic and wildtype plants, which had been grown separately in sealed boxes, were exposed to formaldehyde evaporated from a micro tube (0.5ml) containing formaldehyde solution (37%, 10μl) (Fig.8). Two weeks later we observed the phenotype of transgeneic  and widetype plants (Fig.9). We found that the transgenic plant is stronger than wildtype after formaldehyde exposure. This indicates that production of <i>HPS/PHI</i>, <i>FALDH</i> and <i>FDH</i> enhanced formaldehyde tolerance of transgenic plant.</p>

<p style="color:#1b1b1b;">We detected the concentration of gaseous formaldehyde evaporated from a micro tube (0.5ml) containing formaldehyde solution (37%, 10μl) and made a curve (Fig.10) about relationship between formaldehyde concentration and time. And we saw a linear relationship between formaldehyde concentration and time before formaldehyde is saturated. For quantity result, we used a formaldehyde detector to detect the concentration of  gaseous formaldehyde (Fig.11). The transgenic and wildtype plants, which had been grown separately in sealed boxes, were exposed to formaldehyde evaporated from a micro tube (0.5ml) containing formaldehyde solution (37%, 10μl) for about 3 weeks. Three weeks later, the covers of the plant boxes were removed and quickly replaced with covers equipped with formaldehyde dose-monitoring tubes in order to determine roughly the gaseous formaldehyde levels remaining in the boxes. We have not got the precise data results now, and this work is to be continued.</p>

 +
<br/>
 +
<p style="color:#1b1b1b;"><i>HPS</i>, <i>PHI</i>, and <i>FDH</i> are located in chloroplast, while <i>FALDH</i> plays a role in cytoplasm. So we used transit peptides to locate the productions of these genes. We hope to know the effects of transit peptide on degrading formaldehyde. So we exposed transgenic tobaccos with and without transit peptides to formaldehyde (37%, 10μl). However, there are no obvious phenotype difference compairing different transgenic lines because time limited.</p>

<br/>
 +
<p style="color:#1b1b1b;">To test which enzymes play the most important role in pathway of metabolizing formaldehyde, we constructed mono-gene expression vectors to express each enzyme individually. We also constructed multi-gene expression vectors to test whether the ability of metabolizing formaldehyde of transgenic tobacco enhanced. Then these transgenic tobaccos were exposed to formaldehyde (37%, 10μl). However, we have not got obvious phenotype difference among transgenic lines, because there is not enough time</p>

<p style="color:#1b1b1b;">Considering the problem of environment and safety, we use male sterility system which prevents the horizontal transgene flow. Morphological and histological analysis of <i>AdCP</i> transgenic plants showed ablated tapetum and complete pollen abortion. However, there is not enough time to wait for transgenic tobacco flowering.</p>
