An efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method has been developed and optimized for switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.). The aim of this study is to optimize the conditions for agrobacterial transformation of upland switchgrass cultivars Alamo, Forestburg, Pathfinder, Shawnee, and Trailblazer. For genetic transformation, the authors have used embryogenic calli of switchgrass cultivars. As a result of the study the effect of the virulence gene inducer, surfactant, optical density of bacterial suspension and co-cultivation time, it has been revealed that the presence of acetosyringone with silwet-L77 in the medium, bacterial suspension at an optical density of 0.6 and 8 days of co-cultivation with bacteria is optimal for Agrobacterium– mediated transformation of embryogenic calli of switchgrass. The results obtained can serve as a basis for the creation of transgenic plants of switchgrass.

Miscanthus lutarioriparius, a domestic species of China, belongs to the genus of perennial rhizomatous Miscanthus and is a promising energy crop for biomass production. To establish an Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation protocol and obtain transgenic plants co-expressing the Cry 2Aa# and Bar genes, an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method for M. lutarioriparius was developed in this study. To inhibit tissue browning, optimized callus induction and regeneration media were developed. Embryogenic calli were efficiently induced from immature inflorescences on Murashige & Skoog (MS) medium containing 0.2 g L−1 citric acid. Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA105 carrying pC3300 with the Cry 2Aa# and Bar genes were introduced into embryogenic calli. Six transgenic lines were selected by Basta screening and confirmed by genomic PCR. The herbicide tolerance of M. lutarioriparius transgenic plants was verified by spraying with glufosinate and expression of the Cry 2Aa# protein by ELISA. Therefore, an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocol for M. lutarioriparius was established and the co-expression of herbicide tolerance and Cry 2Aa# was successfully introduced with the system.

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of epicotyl segment has been used in Citrus transgenic studies. The approach suffers, however, from limitations such as occasionally seed unavailability, the low transformation efficiency of juvenile tissues and the high frequency of chimeric plants. Therefore, a suspension cell culture system was established and used to generate transgenic plants in this study to overcome the shortcomings. The embryonic calli were successfully developed from undeveloped ovules of the three cultivars used in this study, “Sweet orange”-Egyptian cultivar (Citrus sinensis), “Shatangju” (Citrus reticulata) and “W. Murcott” (Citrus reticulata), on three different solid media. Effects of media, genotypes and ages of ovules on the induction of embryonic calli were also investigated. The result showed that the ovules’ age interferes with the callus production more significantly than media and genotypes. The 8 to 10 week-old ovules were found to be the best materials. A cell suspension culture system was established in an H+H liquid medium. Transgenic plants were obtained from Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of cell suspension as long as eight weeks subculture intervals. A high transformation rate (~35%) was achieved by using our systems, confirming BASTA selection and later on by PCR confirmation. The results demonstrated that transformation of cell suspension should be more useful for the generation of non-chimeric transgenic Citrus plants. It was also shown that our cell suspension culture procedure was efficient in maintaining the vigor and regeneration potential of the cells.

Aim. Receiving of genetically modified plants of bread wheat with heterologous ornithine‑δ‑aminotransferase gene. Methods. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of callus cultures in vitro, PCR-analysis. Results. By Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of the morphogenic calluses of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) using the AGLO strain containing the binary vector pBi-OAT with the target ornithine-δ-aminotransferase (oat) and selective neomycinphosphotransferase II (nptII), transgenic plants-regenerators have been obtained. Conclusions. As a result of the genetic transformation of Zimoyarka variety, 12 wheat regenerants were obtained in the genome which revealed a complete integration of the genetic construct containing the oat and nptII transgenes. Keywords: Triticum aestivum L., Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, ornithine‑δ‑aminotransferase gene, PCR-analysis.

Aim. Optimization of conditions for genetic transformation of new promising genotypes of winter bread wheat (T. aestivum L.) by in planta method. Methods. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation by in planta method using the strain AGL0 and vector construct pBi2E. Results. The influence of air temperature, optical density of cells of agrobacterial suspension, inoculation day and composition of inoculation medium on the frequency of obtaining transgenic plants of new winter wheat genotypes was studied. The dependence of the frequency obtaining of transgenic plants from environmental conditions, in particular temperature, has been established. It was found that the temperature regime of 20-22°C provided the largest number (4.8%) of wheat transformants, and when the temperature is reduced to 16-18°C there is a decrease in the efficiency of T-DNA transfer into the plant genome and the lowest frequency of transformation (0.7%). Conclusions. The largest number of transformants was obtained using a inoculation medium without sucrose, the optical density of cells of the agrobacterial suspension of 0.6 op.od. and inoculation on the third day after castration of ears. Keywords: T. aestivum, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in planta, optimization of conditions.
