Abstract: | For the first time, plant regeneration of several domesticatedgenotypes of Phaseolus polyanthus Greenman (year bean) has beenachieved. Thidiazuron in combination with indole-3-acetic acidwas used to induce morphogenic, green nodular callus from explantsthat had been obtained either from greenhouse-grown plants orfrom in vitro -germinated seeds. Of the six genotypes of P.polyanthus tested, five produced shoots in vitro. Regeneratedshoots that formed roots in vitro were established in the greenhouse,whereas non-rooted shoots could be established in vitro by grafting.Morphologically normal progeny plants were obtained from thegreenhouse-established regenerants. However, by using the sameprocedure, no regeneration response was observed in two domesticatedand two wild genotypes of P. coccineus L. (runner bean). Thisprotocol should help achieve Agrobacterium - or particle bombardment-mediatedgenetic transformation to improve this important food legume.Copyright 2001 Annals of Botany Company Callus, genetic transformation, grafting, legumes, organogenesis, Phaseolus coccineus L., Phaseolus polyanthus Greenman, Phaseolus vulgaris L |
