Abstract

Three genotypes of chickpea ICCV-1, ICCV-6 and a Desi (local) variety were tested for plant regeneration through multiple shoot production. The embryo axis was removed from mature seeds, the root meristem and the shoot apex were discarded. These explants were cultured on medium containing MS macro salts, 4X MS micro salts, I35 vitamins, 3.0 mg/1 BAP, 0.004 mg/1 NAA, 3% (w/v) sucrose and incubated at 260C. The explants were transformed withAgrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 with binary vector pBI121 containing theuidA andnptIl genes. Multiple shoots were repeatedly selected with kanamycin. The selected kanamycin resistant shoots were rooted on MS medium supplemented with 0.05 mg/1 113A. The presumptive transformants histochemically stained positive for GUS. Additionally, nptll assay confirmed the expression ofnptII in kanamycin resistant plants. Transgenic plants were transferred to soil and grown in the green house.
