โฆ Synopsis
Media were developed to regenerate shoots from leaf pieces of tamarillo (Cyphomandra betacea (Cav.) Sendtner). Shoots were derived via organogenesis and could be easily rooted and transferred to the growth chamber. Transgenic tamarillo plants were produced using the binary vector pKIWI110 in the avirulent Agrobacterium strain LBA4404. All transgenic plants were kanamycin resistant and some plants expressed the ฮฒ D-glucuronidase (gusA) reporter gene and were chlorsulfuron resistant. Molecular evidence for transformation was obtained using PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and Southern hybridization. Inheritance of the transgenic phenotypes was demonstrated in seedling progeny.

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 avir

Maize Type II callus tissue was used as the plant material for genetic transformation via electroporation. Plasmid DNA containing a selectable marker gene (either neomycin phosphotransferase (npt-II) or phosphinothricin acetyl transferase (bar)), and a screenable marker gene (gus A) was incubated wi
