β¦ Synopsis
Regeneration of pepino (Solanum muricatum Ait.) shoots was achieved both by organogenesis and by embryogenesis. Shoots derived via organogenesis were easily rooted and most regenerated plants appeared phenotypically normal. Transgenic plants were obtained using the binary vector pKIWI110 in the avirulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404. Optimization of transformation protocols was rapidly achieved by monitoring early expression of the GUS (Ξ²-D-glucuronidase) reporter gene carried on pKIWI110. Transgenic plants expressed GUS and selectable marker genes for kanamycin resistance and chlorsulfuron resistance. PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and Southern analysis provided molecular evidence for transformation.

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 regenera
Transgenic peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) plants have been produced using an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system. Zygotic embryo axes from mature seed were cocultured with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA101 harboring a binary vector that contained the genes for the scorable marker B-gluc
