Abstract Transformed rice plants of var `TN1' were regenerated from immature embryos following particle bombardment with a construct containing the firefly luciferase gene as a reporter gene and the hygromycin resistance gene as a selectable marker. Expression of the luciferase gene in the presence of the substrate luciferin was visualised in the calli derived from bombarded immature embryos and in the leaves and roots of the regenerated transformed plants using a low light imaging system (luminograph). Embryogenic callus proliferation and plant regeneration were unaffected by luciferin treatment and luminograph screening. The quantitative Luc assay using samples of leaf tissue from the segregating generations gave early information about the homozygous and hemizygous state of the luc transgene.
