High frequency Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and plant regeneration via direct shoot formation from leaf explants in Beta vulgaris and B. maritima
نویسندگان
چکیده
We developed a new procedure for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of plants in the genus Beta using shoot base as the material for Agrobacterium infection. The frequency of regeneration from shoot bases was analyzed in seven accessions of sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris) and two accessions of B. maritima to select materials suitable for obtaining transformed plants. The frequency of transformation of the chosen accessions using Agrobacterium strain LBA4404 and selection on 150-mg/l kanamycin was found to be higher than that in previously published methods. Genomic DNA analysis and GUS reporter assays showed that the transgene was inherited and expressed in subsequent generations. In our method, shoot bases are prepared by a simple procedure, and transformation does not involve the callus phase, thus minimizing the occurrence of somaclonal variations. 5

Improved shoot regeneration protocol for canola explants and pre-assessment of salinity tolerance in canola transgenic plants
Regeneration of explants plays a significant role in plant transformation. Explant type, hormonal concentration, and pre-culturing period are important in transformation efficiency. To get an efficient transformation of canola and optimize regeneration conditions, different explants along with different culture media were studied. Four canola varieties were used to evaluate regeneration ability...

Genetic transformation studies were carried out to standardize a protocol for Agrobacterium -mediated genetic transformation of three economically important strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch) cultivars Kurdistan’, Camarosa’, and ‘Paros’. Shoot regeneration frequency 72, 65 and 30% was obtained on MS (1) basal medium supplemented with 2% glucose and 4 mg/l TDZ for Camarosa, Kurdistan and Paro...

Lactuca sativa is widely used as a leafy vegetable belonging to the Asteraceae family. Cotyledonary leaves of in vitro lettuce seedlings were transformed by plasmids containing the GCHI gene. Also the effects of number of days of pre-cultivation and co-cultivation of explants were examined on the transformation frequency. After co-cultivation, the explants were transferred onto the regeneration...

Background: Chrysanthemum; also commonly known as mums or chrysanths, is one of the most important ornamental crops worldwide. Introducing desirable traits into this valuable plant by the conventional breeding has so far been faced with some restrictions due to the limited gene pool and cross-incompatibility. Therefore, breeders have decided to exploit Agrobacterium-mediated tr...
