Abstract
Immature stem segments of seven different genotypes of Brassica carinata produced shoots with variable frequencies when cultured in MS medium with BAP and picloram at 0.2 mg/l each. Line 171, which produced shoots with 100% efficiency from both cut ends of the expiant, was selected for testing the amenability of this regeneration protocol for genetic transformation. A non-oncogenic Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing plasmid PCV 730, a binary vector carrying resistance genes for kanamycin and hygromycin, was used. A cocultivation period of 4 d with a bacterial concentration of approximately 2.5×10 cells/ml, followed by a recovery period of 2 d, produced transformed shoots that could be selected and rooted in the presence of kanamycin at 15 mg/l. Transformation was confirmed by neomycin phospho-transferase assay and Southern blot analysis. Seed analysis of transformed plants indicated that kanamycin resistance was inherited in the progeny.
