AgarTrap: A Simplified Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation Method for Sporelings of the Liverwort Marchantia polymorpha L.

Gene transformation can be done in direct and indirect (Agrobacterium-mediated) ways. The most efficient method of gene transformation to date is Agrobacterium-mediated method. The main problem of Agrobacterium-method is that some plant species and mutant lines are recalcitrant to regeneration. Requirements for sterile conditions for plant regeneration are another problem of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Development of genotype-independent gene transformation method is of great interest in many plants. Some tissue culture-independent Agrobacterium-mediated gene transformation methods are reported in individual plants and crops. Generally, these methods are called in planta gene transformation. In planta transformation methods are free from somaclonal variation and easier, quicker, and simpler than tissue culture-based transformation methods. Vacuum infiltration, injection of Agrobacterium culture to plant tissues, pollen-tube pathway, floral dip and floral spray are the main methods of in planta transformation. Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. Simplicity and reliability are the primary reasons for the popularity of the in planta methods. These methods are much quicker than regular tissue culture-based Agrobacterium-mediated gene transformation and success can be achieved by non-experts. In the present review, we highlight all methods of in planta transformation comparing them with regular tissue culture-based Agrobacterium-mediated transformation methods and then recently successful transformations using these methods are presented.

Aim. To optimize the agrobacterium-mediated method of winter wheat transformation (Triticum aestivum L.); to select the conditions and period of inoculation to effectively transfer the genes during pollination. Methods. Agrobacterium-mediated in planta genetic transformation of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during pollination. Results. The conditions for agrobacterium-mediated transformation method of winter wheat during natural (frequency pollination was 1 %) and non-natural (frequency pollination was 4 %) pollination were defined. Conclusions. The possibility of integrating transgenes into the genome of winter wheat plants by the method of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in planta in the process of forced and natural pollination is demonstrated. It is found that the transformation efficiency to a large extent depends on the plant genotype and the method of carrying out the transformation procedure. The selection of transgenic plants under water deficit conditions allowed to identify the plants with functional transgene. The signs of functioning transgene have been remaining in the next generation of genetically modified winter wheat. Keywords: Triticum aestivum L., Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in planta, transgenic plants, seeds.

The establishment of genetic transformation method is crucial for the functional genomics research in filamentous fungi. Although the transformation method has been developed in several types of fungi, a highly efficient and convenient transformation system is desperately needed in Lentinula edodes. Present work established the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (ATMT) of basidiomycete L. edodes in both monokaryon and dikaryon mycelia by using constructed binary plasmid pCAMBIA-1300-GFP. Then, the transformation efficiency of ATMT was evaluated by using different mediums for recipient incubation and different varieties of L. edodes. The results showed that in dikaryon strain W1, the positive hygromycin-resistant transformants was observed in all medium with the positive frequency of selected transformants that ranged from 0 to 30%. While in the monokaryon strain W1-26, only the millet medium group obtained positive transformants with a positive frequency of 75.48%. Moreover, three dikaryotic wild strains (YS55, YS3334, and YS3357) and two dikaryotic cultivated strains (W1 and S606) showed the highest transformation efficiency, with 32.96% of the germination frequency, and 85.12% of positive frequency for hygromycin-resistant transformants. This work demonstrated that Agrobacterium-mediated transformation was successfully performed in L. edodes, and the genotype of recipients as well as the medium for mycelial incubation were suggested to play key roles in determining the transformation efficiency. These findings may provide new avenues for the genetic modification of edible mushroom and may extend the cognition of DNA-mediated transformation in filamentous fungi.
