Summary
Novel and efficient protocols for plant regeneration and genetic transformation from longitudinally-halved cotyledons ofin vitro raised seedlings in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) are described. After co-cultivation withAgrobacterium vectors harboring neomycin phosphotransferase (nptll) as selectable marker, transgenic plantlets were regenerated on selective media containing 100 mg/l kanamycin. Transformants were recovered from embryogenic calli induced by 4 mg/lα-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and from organogenic calli induced by the addition of 2 mg/l zeatin plus 0.01 mg/l NAA. Nineteen independent transgenic lines were grown to maturity. The structural integrity, expression and sexual transmission of the introduced genes for neomycin phosphotransferase and ß-glucuronidase (gus) were investigated.
