ABSTRACT - The development of protocols to overcome the current limitations of callus induction and in vitro regeneration of highly recalcitrant tropical maize is crucial for plant genetic transformation. The ability of embryogenic callus (EC) formation of 46 tropical maize hybrids and 14 inbred lines was tested using N6 medium with the following changes: medium A (N6 + 15 μM dicamba + 25 mM L-proline + 88 mM AgNO3), medium B (N6 + 30 μM dicamba + 25 mM L-proline + 88 mM AgNO3), medium C (N6+ 30 μM dicamba + 6 mM L-proline), and medium D (N6+ 30 μM dicamba + 25 mM L-proline). Compact (Type I) and friable (Type II) callus were induced in the four media. Twenty genotypes produced callus in all media, and four genotypes (CO32, AG8012, CMS477BC4F2, and CMS-HGZ10) produced the highest number of callus (114, 134, 131, and 126 calli, respectively). All immature embryos of ten genotypes produced callus in at least one medium, while eight genotypes were highly recalcitrant, and they did not produce any callus. The frequencies of EC ranged from 0% to 38%, and the highest rate of EC was observed on medium B (0.40) with a total of 865 calli, and the lowest induction rate was obtained with medium D (0.29) with 555 calli (P= 0.05). From the seventy-two EC of 26 genotypes transferred to Murashige & Skoog regeneration medium, twenty-four (66.7%) differentiated into green plants which produced seeds in R0 and R1 generations, and twelve (33.3%) developed into albino plants. The results demonstrated that the problem of the recalcitrant genotypes can be, at least partially, overcome by using immature embryos as explants together with tissue culture media formulations.Keywords: Zea mays, immature embryos, somatic embryogenesis, tissue culture, type I and type II calli. INDUÇÃO DE CALO E REGENERAÇÃO DE PLANTAS DA CULTURA DE EMBRIÕES IMATUROS DE MILHO TROPICAL  RESUMO - O desenvolvimento de protocolos para superar as limitações atuais de indução de calos e regeneração in vitro de milho tropical altamente recalcitrante é crucial para a transformação genética de plantas. Foi testada a capacidade de formação de calos embriogênicos (CE) de 46 híbridos de milho tropicais e 14 linhagens cultivadas em Meio N6 com as seguintes alterações: Meio A (N6 + 15 μM dicamba + 25 mM L-prolina + 88 mM AgNO3), Meio B (N6 + 30 μM de dicamba + 25 mM de L-prolina + 88 μM de AgNO3), Meio C (N6 + 30 μM de dicamba + 6 mM de L-prolina) e Meio D (N6 + 30 μM de dicamba + 25 mM de L-prolina). Calos compactos (tipo I) e friáveis (tipo II) foram induzidos nos quatro meios de cultura. Vinte genótipos produziram calos em todos os meios, e quatro genótipos (CO32, AG8012, CMS477BC4F2 e CMS-HGZ10) produziram o maior número de calos (114, 134, 131 e 126 calos, respectivamente). Todos os embriões imaturos de dez genótipos produziram calos em pelo menos um meio, enquanto oito genótipos foram altamente recalcitrantes e não produziram nenhum calo. As frequências de CE variaram de 0% a 38%, e a maior taxa de CE foi observada no meio B (0,40), com um total de 865 calos, e a menor taxa de indução com o meio D (0,29), com 555 calos (P = 0,05). Dos setenta e dois CE de 26 genótipos transferidos para meio de regeneração Murashige & Skoog, vinte e quatro (66,7%) se diferenciaram em plantas verdes que produziram sementes nas gerações R0 e R1, e doze (33,3%) se desenvolveram em plantas albinas. O problema relacionado dos genótipos recalcitrantes de milho pode ser, pelo menos parcialmente, contornado com o uso de explantes de embriões imaturos juntamente com a formulação dos meios de cultura.Palavras-chave: Zea mays, embriões imaturos, embriogênese somática, cultura de tecidos, calos tipo I e tipo II.

An efficient Agrobacterium mediated transformation system, from which transgenic tropical maize plants was directly generated without previous crosses with laboratory or temperate lines was established in present study. Experimental evaluations are focused on two main issues: i) Establishment of appropriate tissue culture conditions, which induced somatic embryogenesis from the immature embryo cells, and ii) The delivery of T-DNA toward these cells. A high rate of embryogenic calli, generated from immature embryo was obtained when 2-4 D (4mgL-1) was added to the MS based induction medium. Regeneration rate was observed upto 19 plants per gram in the calli by using BAP and KIN at 0.5mgL-1. Regarding the Agrobacterium strains evaluated for their transformation capability on the tropical maize line MU-2092 used, best results are obtained from the strain when applied at OD 550nm= 0.5-1.0. Physical micro-wounds before the Agro-infection proved to be an excellent way to promote both the T-DNA transfer toward the immature embryo and the acceleration in rates of transient GUS expression when compared with particle bombardment. The highest frequencies of transient GUS expression corresponding to the embryos as well as the regeneration of whole transgenic plants emerged from them, was obtained using immature embryos wounded by bombarding at 80 lb/in2. Analysis of the progenies confirmed the sexual transmission of the introduced genes and their stable expression.

Three selectable marker genes were compared for their efficacy in the production of transgenic wheat plants following microprojectile bombardment of cultured immature embryos. While transformed plants were recovered using the bar (phosphinothricin acetyltransferase) gene in combination with bialaphos, and the aphA (neomycin phosphotransferase) gene in combination with geneticin or paromomycin, no transgenic material was obtained with the hpt (hygromycin phosphotransferase) gene and hygromycin B. Southern analysis revealed single copy as well as multiple copy insertions of the bar and aphA transgenes. Inheritance of these selectable marker genes was demonstrated in the T1 generation progenies.
