AN EFFICIENT AGROBACTERIUM-MEDIATED TRANSFORMATION METHOD FOR POTATO C.V. KUFRI CHANDRAMUKHI
247 / 152
Keywords:
Potato, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Transformation, RegenerationAbstract
An optimized regeneration and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocol based on internode explants
was developed in potato cultivar ‘Kufri Chandramukhi’. Potato internodes were transformed by cocultivation with A.
tumefaciens strain EHA 105 harboring vector pRI101. MS medium with IAA 0.042mg L-1 + GA3 3.0 mg L-1 + Zeatin 3.0 mg
L-1 showed the maximum percentage of callus formation i.e. 76% with average number of shoots per explants was 7.00.
This medium showed mimimal number of days for callus initiation as compared to other medium compositions The best
combination for shoot regeneration was a medium of Murashige & Skoog salts with 0.042 mg L-1 IAA, 3.0 mg L-1 GA3, 3.0
mg L-1 Zeatin and 0.008 mg L-1 NAA. Use of 50 mg L-1 Kanamycin, 250 mg L-1 Carbenicillin and 100 mg L-1 Cefotaxime in
the callus induction medium minimized contamination. This method is useful for genetic transformation studies in KCM.
