Study on factors influencing Agrobacterium-mediated cassava transformation]

Factors influencing agrobacterium-mediated cassava transformation were investigated. Among the four Agrobacterium strains tested, LBA 4404 (pTOK 233) and LBA 4404 (pBin9GusInt) gave higher transient expression than C 58 C1 (pIG121Hm) and EHA 105 (pBin9Husint). Pretreatment of explants by bombardment or vaccum had no significant effect on transient expression while preinduction of Agrobacterium with acetosyringone showed better effects, and preculture of explants showed worse effects. All the cultivars tested were susceptible to Agrobacterium infection, while the types of explants and the physiological state of the explants had a strong influence on the transient expression efficiency. The 15-day-old somatic cotyledons and the fully expanded leaves from in vitro plantlets were the most susceptible to Agrobacterium infection. The results also showed that all the four selective reagents (hygromycin, geneticin, PPT, and kanamycin) synchronously suppressed the growth of callus, shoot organogenesis and shoot rooting in a dose dependent manner.
