Abstract
A method for plant regeneration in cotton via developmentally synchronized somatic embryogenesis is disclosed. The invention is simple, fast, reproducible and convenient for applications in plant genetic engineering and results in the achievement of synchronised somatic embryogenesis by a step of inositol starvation.
Description
PROCESS FOR THE TISSUE CULTIVATION FOR THE PRODUCTION OF COTTON PLANTS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a tissue culture process for producing a large number of viable cotton plants in vitro from a specific tissue of the plant. The invention provides a method for synchronized somatic embryogenesis and opens up new possibilities for obtaining an agronomically improved uniform population of cotton plants by modern methods of agrobiotechnology and genetic engineering. The protocol provides an important step in the success of the cotton improvement program using tissue culture technology.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Cotton is a globally important crop, which is grown mainly for fiber. The seeds provide an important source of feed for livestock. Cotton has influenced the economic development of many nations around the world. Therefore, cotton improvement programs using modern methods of agrobiotechnology are of global interest. This has increased the importance of developing tissue culture methods to facilitate the application of modern genetic engineering techniques to the cotton plant. Despite the much talked about economic value of cotton, the improvement of cotton through genetic engineering has taken place at a relatively slow speed, due to the absence of reproducible methods, which consume less time and efficient to regenerate organized tissues and plants. cotton at high frequency. Regeneration by tissue culture techniques is well established. Although the totipotency of a plant cell is a well-known phenomenon, each plant or part of the plant requires specialized studies to invent the conditions that allow such regeneration at a high efficiency and frequency. There seems to be a consensus that the success in inducing differentiation depends on the type of explant, the physiological condition of the explant and the physical and chemical environment of the explant during culture. Thus, the science of tissue culture has been aimed at optimizing the physiological condition of the plant of origin, the type of explant, the growing conditions and the plant growth regulators or other medium supplements used to initiate the response of the plant. tissue. A wide variety of plant species has been regenerated successfully in in vitro organogenesis or via somatic embryogenesis. The selected mode of regeneration is often based on the relative case, efficiency and applicability of the method for the genetic transformation of a plant species. A method not based on meristem, that is, somatic embryogenesis is always a preferred mode, since it eliminates the possibility of obtaining a false positive or chimeric transformants. The regeneration via somatic embryogenesis of an explant may involve several stages of growth. More frequently, an explant of a part or organ of a mature plant or germinated seedlings is given a chemically defined nutrient medium under sterile conditions. After incubation, the part of the excised plant, under artificially controlled conditions of light, temperature and photoperiod gives rise to a mass of undifferentiated cells, referred to as a callus. As a result of growing the callus under a set of physical and chemical means, ie, nutrients, light, temperature, photoperiod and adding an appropriate combination and concentration of plant growth regulators, or by suddenly eliminating these, it has been reported that the calluses of some plant species generate an embryogenic callus, which, in turn, undergoes to form a somatic embryo, a process called somatic embryogenesis. Somatic embryos develop outside of somatic cells. Each somatic embryo is a mass of organized tissue, able to develop in a complete plant. Somatic embryos are very similar to zygotic embryos developed in the seed, except that they develop without involving a reduction in cell division (meiosis) and are often larger in size. Changes in the concentration of one or more constituents of the medium can lead to changes in in vitro development and tissue differentiation of the plant. It has been reported that signaling pathways mediated by phosphoinositols influence the development and embryogenesis in plants. The deprivation of the tissues in a particular stage of inositol, during a defined period of time can produce the synchronization of the development of the tissues without deteriorating their viability. However, the implication of inositol in achieving the synchronization of the development of the plant or the in vitro embryo has not been reported before and is the most critical aspect of this invention. Now, several reports on the techniques of somatic embryogenesis of cotton have been published / patented. The frequency of somatic embryogenesis between explants during a defined treatment is typically low. In addition, the number of embryos obtained per explant is not high. The long period of time required for in vitro embryogenesis and the dependence of the genotype process is further added to the problem of somatic embryogenesis in cotton. It would be advantageous if a protocol could be developed, even for a cultivated cotton model plant, to provide a set of formulations and conditions, whereby the frequency of somatic embryogenesis can be improved and if such a process needs less time. Synchronized development can be beneficial to collect a large number of regenerated plants. Synchronized development provides not only a large number of plants, but also a uniform population, with all the plants in the same growth phase. The simplification of the steps and the formulations can also improve the applicability of the protocol. The use of a liquid medium can facilitate more efficient selection during genetic transformation
(development of the transgenic plant) since the selection pressure (for example, resistance to antibiotics) can penetrate the cells more uniformly in the liquid culture. All these aspects have been achieved by the present invention. The synchronized development of embryos in cotton has not been mentioned in the prior art and is an important aspect of this invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE There are several published reports that deal with tissue culture conditions, which lead to embryogenesis and to the regeneration of the plant in cotton. Davidonis and Hamilton, in Plant Sci. Letter (1983) 32: 89-93 and U.S. Patent 4,672,035 (1987) report somatic embryogenesis in 2-year callus of G. hirsutum. Shoemaker et al. , 1986 characterized somatic embryogenesis and regeneration of the plant in 17 cotton cultivated plants (Plant Cell Rep. 3: 178-181). Trolinder and Goodin (1987) and Finer (1988) reported somatic embryogenesis in a cotton suspension culture (Plant Cell Rep 6: 231-234; Plant Cell Rep. 7.- 399-402). These protocols took several months to develop regenerated plants. The methods are highly dependent on genotypes (Trolinder and Xhixian, 1989 Plant Cell Rep. 8: 133-136) and therefore, are applicable to only a few cultivated cotton plants. Due to the length of culture time, plants developed via these protocols are often reported as being sterile or having cytogenetic abnormalities (Trolinder and Goodin, 1987 Plant Cell Rep.
6: 231-234). Pangan (1993) in U.S. Patent No. 5,255,902 and Rangan and Rajasekaran (1997) in U.S. Patent No. 5,695,999 reported the embryogenesis of seedling explants in some cotton varieties. Gawel and Robacker (1990) in Plant Cell Tiss. Organ Cult. 23: 201-204 compared somatic embryogenesis in cotton in semi-solid versus liquid proliferation medium. Kumar et al., 1998 reported somatic embryogenesis in Coker 310 Fl hybrids with Hindus cotton varieties, using the modified protocol of Trolinder and Goodin. Zhang et al., 2000 in Plant Cell Tiss. Organ Cult. 60: 89-94 describe the somatic embryogenesis of an abnormal somatic embryo derived from explants. Several of these protocols or modifications thereof have been used in the transformation of cotton mediated by Agrobacterium (Umbeck et al., 1987 Bio / Technology 5: 263-266; Firoozabady et al., 1987 Plant Mol. Biol. 10: 105 -116) or the transformation of cotton mediated by particle bombardment (Finer and McMullen, 1990
Plant Cell Rep. 8: 586-589). Certain bacteria genes, such as those that code for herbicide resistance
(Bayley et al., 1992 Theo, Appl. Genet, 83: 645-649) and Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin genes (Perlak et al., 1990 Bio / Technology 8: 939-943) have been successfully expressed in the transgenic plants. Strickland (1998) in U.S. Patent No. 5,846,797 reported the regeneration of transformed explants in growth regulator free medium. Once an efficient method for regeneration, especially somatic embryogenesis becomes available, it can be used conveniently for the transformation or genetic engineering of cotton. A comparative graph between the various prior techniques is presented below in Table 1:

Report 4 of Table 1 claims the development of plants that were sterile, while the present process described in this application provides healthy plants, which are fertile. The present method provides a high frequency of somatic embryogenesis over a randomly selected collection of seedling explants collected from plants growing in the field. This is a significant improvement over the previous relics, where the explants were taken from samples already selected for somatic embryogenesis
(reports 11 and 12 of table 1). In addition, as now there is no published report describing synchronization in somatic embryogenesis of cotton. There is no report for any other plant, which describes inositol deprivation as a tool to induce synchrony in the development of somatic embryos. In the case of cotton, the synchronized development of the somatic embryo has not been possible in the prior art and is a very important achievement of this invention. The success of the present invention depends on the concentration and combination of the plant growth regulators used to induce callus on the explants, and the manner in which these calluses were cultured by the method of the present invention involving a short inositol deprivation phase
52-367 term. Once the calluses have been induced, the process does not need any regulator of the growth of the exogenous plant or other additives of the medium. (For example, additional KN03 in reports 4 and 6 and activated carbon in reports 11 and 12) at no later stage. The somatic embryo germinated and rooted in a liquid germination medium simplified on a > non-gelling agent, based on an expensive and simple support (for example, vermiculite). In this regard, the present invention describes a simple and less expensive protocol, suitable for commercialization. The present invention describes for the first time that inositol influences the development and differentiation of cells of plants grown in vi tro. The method details the use of inositol deprivation of cultures at and during a particular time for the synchronized development of the somatic embryo. When clusters of selected embryogenic cells were subjected to a period of 8-12 days of inositol deprivation and the cultures subsequently returned to the basal medium containing inositol, it is found that almost all embryos are in the globular stage. After 10 days of additional growth, most embryos
(92%) were in the bud stage. And in a subsequent subculture, approximately 82% of the embryos were in the torpedo stage. When the embryogenic clusters
52-367 underwent 2 cycles of 8-12 days of inositol deprivation, development synchronization was not observed after the globular stage. In addition, this short-term deprivation of inositol not only synchronized the development of the embryos, the number of embryos recovered finally increased surprisingly to 4-5 times more than the highest value. Prior patents in this area on cotton are U.S. Patent No. 4,672,035; the Patent of the States No. 5,244,802; U.S. Patent No. 5,695,999; EP 344302 and U.S. Patent No. 5,846,797, wherein the inventors describe processes for the regeneration of cotton callus plants via somatic embryogenesis; U.S. Patent No. 5,846,797; U.S. Patent No. 5,004,863; U.S. Patent No. 5,159,135 and EP 344302, wherein the inventors describe a method for the transformation of cotton that involves somatic embryogenesis based on a regeneration process and WO Al 9215675, wherein the inventor describes a method for the Transformation mediated by bombardment of the embryonic axes from where the transgenic plants were developed. The process described in the present invention is very simple to adopt commercially, it is fast,
52-367 reproducible and suitable for applications in plant genetic engineering. Unlike the technologies of the state of the art, this process does not lead to the formation of plants with morphological and cytogenetic abnormalities unlike the case of Stelly et al., 1989, and does not produce false positive transformants in the transformation experiments, difference from the case of Sunil Umar and Rathore, 2001.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is an important object of the present invention to provide a method for somatic embryogenesis synchronized in a developed manner in cotton and the sustained regeneration of a large number of plants from specific tissues of plants. Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved process for the regeneration of cotton via somatic embryogenesis, in a way that the regenerated plants grow, mature and form fertile plants. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a simple and reproducible method for somatic embryogenesis, with the least involvement of plant growth regulators, and any other additive of the additional medium, supplied in a manner
52-367 exogenous.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In the method of the present invention, the seeds are surface sterilized before use in the in vitro culture to free them from bacterial / fungal contaminants. Surface sterilization involves treating the seeds with a solution containing any sterilizing agent such as sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, mercuric chloride, alcohol, cetrimide, etc. Surface sterilization of the seeds can be done by treating the seeds with a 0.05-0.5% w / v solution of mercuric chloride in water for 3-11 minutes with continuous agitation, then washing thoroughly with sterile distilled water (4-8 times) , followed by the immersion of the seeds is rectified alcohol (50-100% volume / volume) for 10-20 seconds and then roasting them in the flame of an alcohol burner for 5-10 seconds. The superficially sterilized seeds can be placed for germination in filter paper containers moistened with germination medium of seeds containing Murashige and Skoog salts at half their concentration, Gamborg B5 medium at half their concentration, 100 mg / l of inositol and any source of Carbon such as glucose or sucrose of 1 to 3% weight / volume, adjusting the pH of the medium to 5.2-6.0 and sterilizing as a result of the autoclave at 121 degrees C, at 1.1249 kgf / cm2 (16 psi) for 16 minutes. For germination, the seeds can
- . 5 -367 incubate at a temperature of 23-33 ° C in the light (at 30-60 μmol / m2 / second intensity) or in the dark until the seeds germinate and form mature seedlings. The explants (pieces of cotyledons, segments of hypocotyls or segments of mesocotyls) can be obtained preferably from seedlings of 6-12 days after germination by cutting with a sharp sterile scalpel and knife, and in an aseptic medium, i.e. laminar flow, known in the art. The cut explants can be placed in • the medium containing Murashige and Skoog salts at the concentrations given in Table 2, Gamborg B5 vitamins at the concentrations given in Table 3, 100 mg / L inositol, a carbon source, preferably glucose at 1.5-4.5% w / v, a gelling agent, preferably 0.6 to 0.8% w / v or phytagel of 0.15-0.29% w / v, and plant growth regulators 2, 4D 0.44 to 4.44 μM and BA 0.22 to 2.22 μM. The pH of the medium is adjusted to 5.4-6.2 before autoclaving at 121 ° C, 1.1249 kgf / cm2 (16 psi) for 16 minutes. The composition of the medium provided for the induction of the callus is presented in Table 5. The cultures were incubated at a temperature in the range of 23-33 ° C in white fluorescent light of at least 90 μmol / m2 / second of low intensity a photoperiod of 16 hours for a period of 3-5 weeks. At this time, sufficient callus is formed on the cutting edges of the explants. The calluses can be yellowish to brown in appearance and have a friable texture. The calluses developed on the cutting edges of the explant can be transferred to a basal liquid medium, the composition of which is given in table 6, at a packing density of 600 to 1000 mg of callus per 50 ml of medium in an Ehrlenmeyer flask. of 250 ml. The medium does not contain any regulator or gelling agent and its pH is adjusted to 5.2-6.0 before autoclaving at 121 ° C, 1.1249 kgf / cm2 (16 psi) for 16 minutes. The callus cells can be shaken in this medium at 110-130 strokes per minute on a rotary shaker set at 23-33 ° C temperature, 20-40 μmol / m2 / second intensity under a photoperiod of 16 hours. The cells can be cultured in this medium and incubation conditions for a period of 12-32 days, until the embryogenic clusters are formed in the cell suspension culture. The cell suspension developed by stirring the basal liquid medium can be screened to select the embryogenic clusters / cell groups developed in the culture. It can be passed, through a combination of metal sieves of 10, 40 and 100 mesh sizes. The 10 mesh size collects the most tissue clusters
52-367 large and 100 mesh size collects fine suspension of cells. The fraction of cells that contain the smallest clusters, which can become embryogenic, can be collected on a screen with a size of 40 mesh. The selected fraction of cells can be transferred to the fresh basal liquid medium and subcultured regularly at an interval of 8-12 days. or it can be transferred to the inositol deprivation medium, medium which is the basal liquid medium minus inositol, the composition is given in Table 7, for a period of 8-12 days, followed by the replacement of the inositol in the basal liquid medium and then subculturing regularly at an interval of 8-12 days. In both cases, the somatic embryo develops, but with a different destiny of development. While in the first, the embryos of all stages of development can be obtained in each subculture cycle of 8-12 days with similar frequency, in the last, the development of the embryos is synchronized and almost all the embryos remain in the same development stage. The strategy in the present method is to select the second process to cultivate the embryogenic mass. In addition, after mature bipolar embryos in the torpedo stage are removed from the suspension for germination, the basal embryogenic mass can
52-367 undergo additional cycles of inositol deprivation, synchronization of development and collection of mature embryos for germination. Embryogenic clusters and synchronized embryos can be grown in agitated medium on a rotary shaker at 110-130 strokes per minute and at 23-33 ° C temperature, 20-40 μmol / m2 / second light under a photoperiod of 16 hours. The mature bipolar somatic embryo can be removed from the liquid medium and transferred to a solid support, preferably vermiculite saturated with germination medium of the embryo, composition of which is given in Table 8. The pH of medium is adjusted to 5.2 6.0 before autoclave at 121 ° C, 1.1249 kgf / cm2 (16 psi) for 16 minutes. The cultures can be incubated at 23-33 ° C temperature at a light intensity of at least 60 μmol / m2 / second, and a photoperiod of 16 hours. The fresh liquid medium can be added to the embryos that germinate on a weekly basis. The embryos were cultured in germination medium of the embryo for a sufficient period of time to form seedlings in the 4-5 leaf stage with well-developed roots. At this stage, the seedlings can be removed and can be transferred to a potting mix that is a sterile mix of garden soil: sand: vermiculite: moss in a ratio of 2: 1: 1: 1.
52-367 Good moisture conditions can be provided to newly developed seedlings, covering the plants with transparent polythene bags, the inner surface of which is sprayed with water. After cultivating the seedlings under these conditions and at a temperature of 23-33 degrees C and fluorescent light of at least 90 μmol / m2 / second under a photoperiod of 16 hours for a period of time sufficient for acclimatization, the plants, if you want, can be transferred to the field. The present invention will now be described in greater detail with reference to the following non-limiting examples.
EXAMPLE I Dependent media response to the induction of somatic embryogenesis Seeds of cotton plants were treated
(G. hirsutum L. Coker 312) with 0.1% w / v mercuric chloride for 7 minutes, washed 6 times with sterile distilled water, followed by immersion of the seeds in rectified alcohol for 10 seconds and "subjected to The sterile seeds were placed for germination in filter paper containers moistened with the germination medium of the seeds containing salts
- . 5 -367 of Murashige and Skoog to half their concentration, Gamborg B5 vitamins at half their concentration, 100 mg / l inositol and 2% w / v sucrose (the pH of the medium was adjusted to 5.6 before autoclaving). For germination, the seeds were incubated at 28 ± 2 ° C in white fluorescent light (30 μmol / m2 / sec) under a 16-hour photoperiod. The cultivation continued until the seeds germinated to provide radicles and plumules with well expanded cotyledons. The 9-day seedlings were used to provide the hypocotyl segment and the cotyledon piece as the explants. The explants were cut with the help of a sterile sharp scalpel. The explants were placed in the callus induction medium, CIM1 containing Murashige and Skoog salts, Gamborg B5 vitamins, 100 mg / l inositol, 3% w / v glucose, 750 mg / l MgCl 2 and 0.22% weight / volume of fitagel, supplemented with 2.4-D 2.2 μM and BA 0.88 μM (the pH of the medium was adjusted to 5.8 before autoclaving). The explants were incubated in this medium at 28 ± 2 ° C temperature at 90 μmol / m2 / second of light intensity under a photoperiod of 16 hours for 3-4 weeks. The calluses developed on the cutting edges of the explants were cut and inoculated in a basal liquid medium containing salts of Murashige and Skoog, vitamins
- . 5 -367 Gamborg B5, 100 mg / l inositol, 3% w / v glucose, pH 5.6 at a packing density of 800 mg of callus per 50 ml of medium in 250 ml Ehrlenmeyer flasks. The medium was sterilized by autoclaving at 121 ° C, 1.1249 kgf / cm2 (16 psi) for 16 minutes. The cultures were shaken on a rotary shaker at 120 rpm and at 28 ± 2 ° C temperature, 30 μmol / m2 / second of light intensity under a photoperiod of 16 hours. The culture of the explants for the induction of the calluses was also done in medium CIM2, CIM3 and CIM4 containing Murashige and Skoog salts, Gamborg B5 vitamins, 100 mg / l inositol, 3% w / v glucose, 750 mg / l of MgCl2 and 0.22% weight / volume of fitagel supplied with different combinations of the growth regulator, such as 2,4-D 0.45 μM plus Kin. 2.32 μM (in CIM2), NAA 10.7 μM plus Kin. 4.64 μM (in CIM3); NAA 2.68 μM plus 2iP 2.4 μM (in CIM4). The cultures were incubated under the same conditions of temperature and light. The calluses were transferred to the basal liquid medium and cultured in a similar manner. After 20-22 days of growth of the culture in the liquid medium, the suspension generated thereof was sieved through metal sieves of different pore sizes (10, 40 and 100 mesh, from SIGMA chemical company, St. Louis). The largest cell clusters were collected on the size 10 mesh and the fine suspension that was
52-367 collected on the mesh size 100 was discarded. The smallest cell clusters collected in the size 40 mesh were subcultured in fresh basal liquid medium and scored for the presence of a somatic embryo. The frequency of induction of somatic embryogenesis (SE) was calculated based on the presence of embryogenic clusters and the number of somatic embryos obtained per explant was scored accordingly in each combination of the medium. The results obtained are summarized in Table 9.
TABLE 9 Response of embryogenesis of different types of explants in selected media compositions
52-367 *% of explants showing induction of embryogenic callus. The critical difference for the induction of somatic embryogenesis (SE) and the formation of mature embryos was 17.69 and 3.43 for the cotyledon explants (n = 5, repeated twice) and 13.14 and 2.16 for the hypocotyl (n = 6, repeated three times), respectively. It is evident from the results that variations in the combinations and concentrations of growth regulators provide a different response with respect to the frequency of the induction of somatic embryogenesis and the number of mature somatic embryos obtained by explant. Thus, this finding can be used to develop the most optimal conditions for the regeneration of the cotton plant
EXAMPLE 2 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated, except that the seeds germinated and grew for 9 days until the development of radicles and plumule with well expanded cotyledons, in the dark. The same results were obtained essentially.
EXAMPLE 3 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated,
52-367 except that the germination medium of the seeds contained 2% w / v glucose as the carbon source. The same results were obtained.
EXAMPLE 4 The procedure of Example 2 was repeated, except that the germination medium of the seeds contained 2% glucose instead of sucrose. Similar results were obtained.
EXAMPLE 5 The procedures of Examples 1 and 2 were repeated with the Coker 310 cotton variety. Similar results were obtained.
EXAMPLE 6 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated to the extent of obtaining embryogenic clusters in suspension, derived from the calli generated in a combination of 2,4-D and BA. The embryogenic clusters were subcultured in the basal liquid medium (BM) devoid of inositol. The embryogenic clusters subcultured in the basal liquid medium containing inositol were used as control. The clusters were inoculated at a packing density of approximately 800 mg of cells per 50 ml of medium and
52-367 incubated on a rotary shaker under the same conditions of light, temperature and photoperiod as in Example 1. After 1 to 2 subcultures of 10 days in inositol-free medium, the cultures were returned to the basal liquid medium containing inositol . The frequency and number of embryos at different stages of development per unit mass were graded in both conditions. The data obtained are presented in Table 10:
TABLE 10 Synchronization of somatic embryogenesis by inositol deprivation
2-367
It is clear from the results that without inositol deprivation, synchronized embryogenesis is not obtained. Therefore, continuous subcultures of the embryogenic mass in the basal medium containing inositol provided embryos at all stages of development at almost the same frequency. However, when the embryogenic mass was cultured in inositol-free basal medium during a single 10-day cycle and then returned to the basal medium containing inositol, it produced a synchronized development of the somatic embryo (100% of embryos in the globular stage after of a subculture in basal medium, 91.66% embryos in the bud stage after 2 subcultures in basal medium and 81.99% of embryos in the torpedo stage after 3 subcultures). The total number of mature embryos produced per explant was increased to 4-5 times the highest value. The embryogenic clusters, when subcultured in an inositol-free medium for 2 hours
52-367 cycles, showed a reduction in homogeneity in the stages of development of the embryos. Therefore, a single cycle of inositol deprivation is required to induce a high level of synchrony in embryogenesis.
EXAMPLE 7 Seeds of cotton plants (G. hirsutum L. Coker 312) were sterilized and germinated as in Example 1. The explants were immersed in Agrobacterium suspension for 10-15 minutes, dried with blotting paper and inoculated into a coculture medium comprising Murashige and Skoog salts, Gamborg B5 vitamins, 100 mg / l inositol, 3% w / v glucose, 750 mg / l MgCl 2 and 0.22% w / v phytagel, supplemented with 2,4 -D 2.2 μM and BA 0.88 μM (the pH of the medium was adjusted to 5.8 before autoclaving). The cultures were incubated at 28 ± 2 ° C temperature at 90 μmol / m2 / second of light intensity under a photoperiod of 16 hours for 3 days. After 3 days, the explants were washed with sterile water, dried with blotting paper again and inoculated into the medium having a composition similar to the co-culture medium, except that it is further supplemented with 250 mg / l of augmentin and 50 mg / l of kanamycin. The explants were cultured according to Example 1 and Example 6. Similar results were obtained with respect to
52-367 to somatic embryogenesis and regeneration of transformed plants. The Agrobacterium strain used in this experiment was a common laboratory strain LBA 4404 harboring a derivative of a binary pIG vector that has nptll as a selection marker and gusA with an intron as a reporter gene. It is clear from the regeneration obtained with the transformed explants that cultivating the putative transformed cells in liquid medium in the presence of a selection agent (kanamycin in this case) is less likely to produce false-positive selections, since all the embryos recovered were GUS tve and showed a homogeneous blue color after the histochemical test. In addition, the frequency of the induction of somatic embryogenesis and the number of somatic embryos per explant were obtained with the transformed explants and the results were similar, both with treatment and without treatment with Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
EXAMPLE 8 The procedure of Example 7 was repeated, except that the explants were cocultivated in the dark. Essentially similar results were obtained.
