Regeneration and Genetic Transformation of Tree Legumes with Special Reference to Leucaena Species

  • Chapter
Book cover Applied Genetics of Leguminosae Biotechnology

Part of the book series: Focus on Biotechnology ((FOBI,volume 10B))

Abstract

In the present times, when tissue culture techniques are reckoned as prerequisites for studies on genetic transformation, it is encouraging to note that a few important leguminous tree species such as Dalbergia, Robinia, Sesbania, Bauhinia, Cassia, Cercis, Parkinsonia, Tamarindus, Acacia, Albizzia, Paras er ianthus, Prosopis and Leucaena can be mass propagated in vitro. Despite their utility as timber, pulp wood, firewood, forage, avenue trees and soil fertility enrichment, further improvement in their quality attributes is desirable through genetic transformation. However, since tree legumes are recalcitrant to genetic transformation, quality improvement programme for these tree legumes through tissue culture and genetic transformation is still in its preliminary stage of development. The present review gives a comprehensive account of the studies conducted so far on the regeneration and transformation of various tree legumes. Though in vitro regeneration for many tree legumes has been achieved, the genetic transformation has been achieved only in Robinia pseudoacacia, Acacia mangium and Leucaena leucocephala. A detailed protocol for plant regeneration and transformation of Leucaena leucocephala is presented here.
