Abstract: | Transient expression of the uidA reporter gene was used in preliminary experiments with two oncogenic and two disarmed Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains in order to test the efficiency of T-DNA transfer to N084 x Populus nigra and N107 x P. nigra clones. The oncogenic strain A281 pKIWI105 produced the highest average number of GUS spots per leaf disc. In order to optimize the production of transgenic plantlets from different P. nigra clones (San Giorgio, Jean Pourtet, N084 x P. nigra and N107 x P. nigra, respectively), two A. tumefaciens strains (GV2260 p35S GUS, A281pKIWI105) and bacterial concentrations (7×108; 1.2×09 bacteria ml-1) were used. Following co-cultivation with A281 pKIWI105, the frequency of leaf discs producing kanamycin-resistant calli was not significantly different between the clones and bacteria concentrations used. Transformed shoots were regenerated from all clones, except for Jean Pourtet. Co-cultivation of leaf discs with GV2260 p35S GUS produced very few calli which died when transferred to selective regeneration medium. In addition, the effects of acetosyringone and leaf wounding were evaluated for the San Giorgio and Jean Pourtet clones, using the same strains. Factors which significantly affected the transformation efficiency of leaf explants were the P. nigra clone, the A. tumefaciens strain, and the presence of acetosyringone. Genetic transformation of calli and regenerated plantlets was confirmed by their ability to grow and root on Woody Plant Medium containing kanamycin, by histochemical -glucuronidase assays, and Southern blot hybridization analyses.Abbreviations BA benzyladenine - GUS -glucuronidase - IBA indolebutyric acid - MS Murashige and Skoog - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - nptII neomycin phosphotransferase II gene - uidA -glucuronidase gene - WPM Woody Plant Medium |
