Effects of kanamycin on tissue culture and somatic embryogenesis in cotton

The aminoglycoside antibiotic kanamycin was evaluated for its effects on callus initiation from hypocotyl and cotyledon explants, proliferation of non-embryogenic and embryogenic calli, initiation and development of somatic embryos in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). On this basis, the potential use of kanamycin as a selective agent in genetic transformation with the neomycin phosphotransferase II gene as the selective marker gene was evaluated. Cotton cotyledon and hypocotyl explants, and embryogenic calluses were highly sensitive to kanamycin. Kanamycin at 10 mg/L or higher concentrations reduced callus formation, with complete inhibition at 60 mg/L. Kanamycin inhibited embryogenic callus growth and proliferation, as well as the initiation and development of cotton somatic embryos. The sensitivity of embryogenic callus and somatic embryos to kanamycin was different during the initiation and development stages. Kanamycin was considered as a suitable selective agent for transformed callus formation and growth of non-embryogenic callus. Forty to sixty mg/L was the optimal kanamycin concentration for the induction and proliferation of transformed callus. The concentration of kanamycin must be increased (from 50 to 200 mg/L) for the selection of transformation embryogenic callus and somatic embryos. A scheme for selection of transgenic cotton plants when kanamycin is used as the selection agent is discussed.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Agrobacterium</Emphasis>-mediated transformation of niger [<Emphasis Type="Italic">Guizotia abyssinica</Emphasis> (L. f.) Cass.] using seedling explants

A protocol was developed for Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of niger [ Guizotia abyssinica (L.f.) Cass.] using hypocotyl and cotyledon explants. Hypocotyls and cotyledons obtained from 7-day-old seedlings were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA101/pIG121Hm that harbored genes for beta-glucuronidase (GUS), kanamycin, and hygromycin resistance. Following co-cultivation, the hypocotyl and cotyledon explants were cultivated on MS medium containing 1 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) for 3 days in darkness. Subsequently, hypocotyl and cotyledon explants were transferred to selective MS medium containing 1 mg/l BA, 10 mg/l hygromycin, 10 mg/l kanamycin, and 500 mg/l cefotaxime. After 6 weeks, hypocotyls and cotyledons produced multiple adventitious shoot buds, and these explants were subcultured to MS medium containing 1 mg/l BA, 30 mg/l hygromycin, and 30 mg/l kanamycin. After a further 3 weeks, the explants (along with developing shoot buds) were subcultured to MS medium containing 1 mg/l BA, 50 mg/l kanamycin, and 50 mg/l hygromycin for further selection. Transgenic plants were obtained after rooting on half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/l alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid, 50 mg/l kanamycin, and 50 mg/l hygromycin and were confirmed by GUS histochemical assay and polymerase chain reaction analysis. Genomic Southern blot hybridization confirmed the incorporation of the neomycin phosphotransferase II gene into the host genome.     

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Solanum gilo Raddi as influenced by explant type

An efficient system for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Solanum gilo was established. The marker genes for kanamycin resistance and ß-glucuronidase expression were introduced. A comparison between cotyledon and hypocotyl explants showed that while regeneration was better from hypocotyl explants, cotyledon explants gave better transformation efficiency (46% vs. 32%). Four levels of kanamycin selection (100, 150, 200 and 250 mg/l) were tested for effect on transformation efficiency with each type of explant. Lower levels of kanamycin worked better using cotyledon explants, while higher levels of kanamycin worked better for hypocotyl explants. All nine t₀ plants tested for expression of the kan ^r gene were positive. The progeny of three of these plants showed a pattern of classical Mendelian inheritance (3 to 1) for both the kan ^r and the ß-glucuronidase genes.Abbreviations MS Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium - 2,4-D 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - NPTII neomycin phosphotransferase - GUS ß-glucuronidase     

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of cultivated tomato with construct carrying the nucleoprotein (N) gene from tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV)

Significant yield losses in commercial tomato production caused by tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) are the reason why we have undertaken studies on resistance to this pathogen. One of the possible sources of resistance can be the incorporation of the nucleoprotein N viral gene by Agrobacterium transformation. The N gene was introduced into three Lycopersicon esculentum forms. Out of the total of 3044 cotyledon explants 14.7% regenerated shoots, but only a few were rooted on medium containing kanamycin. The preliminary analysis indicated that 18 plants are putative transformants.     

In solium Selection for Arabidopsis Transformants Resistant to Kanamycin

The kanamycin resistance encoded by the neomycin phosphotransferase II gene (nptII) of transposon Tn5 is widely used in higher plant genetic transformation. The general process of plant transformation using nptII as a selectable marker gene, however, requires selecting kanamycin-resistant plants or tissues in culture. Even with the recently developed vacuum infiltration method for Arabidopsis transformation, the plant culture steps are not completely eliminated in selection for kanamycin-resistant transformants. The herbicide resistance genes, such as bar, which provides resistance to bialaphos, allow Arabidopsis transformation to become a true non-culture procedure. In this report, we assessed the feasibility of applying kanamycin as a spray in selecting for kanamycin-resistant Arabidopsis transformants grown in soil. We find that kanamycin-resistant transformants were effectively selected by spraying soil-grown Arabidopsis seedlings.

Regeneration of transgenic vegetable brassicas (Brassica oleracea andB. campestris) via Ri-mediated transformation

A procedure for the production of fertile transgenic brassicas via Ri-mediated transformation is reported in this paper. Transgenic hairy root lines were selected for 12 vegetable brassica cultivars and lines representing six varieties: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, rapid-cycling (allBrassica oleracea) and Chinese cabbage (B. campestris). Leaf explants or petioles of intact cotyledons were co-cultivated withAgrobacterium strain A4T harbouring various binary vectors. The T-DNA region of all binary vectors contained a neomycin phosphotransferase II gene for kanamycin resistance, in addition to other genes. Hairy root lines grew prolifically on hormone-free medium containing kanamycin. Transgenic shoots were regenerated from all cultivars either spontaneously or after transfer of hairy roots to a hormone-containing medium. Southern analysis confirmed that the plants were transgenic. Plants from all brassica types were successfully transferred to greenhouse conditions. Plants were fertile and segregation analysis confirmed transmission of traits to progeny.Abbreviations BA 6-Benzylaminopurine - GUS -Glucuronidase - LS Linsmaier and Skoog medium - NAA I-Naphthaleneacetic acid - NPTII Neomycin phosphotransferase II - TDZ thidiazuron

Transformation of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) by Agrobacterium tumefaciens and regeneration of transgenic plants

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cotyledon tissues have been efficiently transformed and plants have been regenerated. Cotyledon pieces from 12-day-old aseptically germinated seedlings were inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains containing avirulent Ti (tumor-inducing) plasmids with a chimeric gene encoding kanamycin resistance. After three days cocultivation, the cotyledon pieces were placed on a callus initiation medium containing kanamycin for selection. High frequencies of transformed kanamycin-resistant calli were produced, more than 80% of which were induced to form somatic embryos. Somatic embryos were germinated, and plants were regenerated and transferred to soil. Transformation was confirmed by opine production, kanamycin resistance, immunoassay, and DNA blot hybridization. This process for producing transgenic cotton plants facilitates transfer of genes of economic importance to cotton.     

Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation and regeneration of muskmelon plants

Transgenic muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) plants were produced efficiently by inoculating cotyledon explants with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 bearing a Ti plasmid with the NPT II gene for kanaymcin resistance. After co-cultivation for three days, expiants were transferred to melon regeneration medium with kanamycin to select for transformed tissue. Shoot regeneration occurred within 3–5 weeks; excised shoots were rooted on medium containing kanamycin before transferring to soil. Morphologically normal plants were produced in three months. Southern blot analysis confirmed that ca. 85% of the regenerated plants contained the NPT gene. Dot blot analysis and leaf callus assay of progeny of transgenic plants verified transmission of the introduced gene(s) to the next generation. Factors affecting transformation efficiency are discussed.Abbreviations ABA abscisic acid - BAP 6-benzylaminopurine - IAA indole 3 acetic acid - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - NPT II neomycin phosphotransferase II
