Genetic transformation using nodal and internodal segments from three economically important potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) varieties namely, Diamant, Cardinal and Granola was conducted using an Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harbouring binary plasmid pBI12 containing the GUS and nptII genes. Node and internodal segments were used for direct regeneration as well as regeneration with the intervention of callus. best responses were  obtained for direct regeneration of shoots when the explants were cultured on MS supplemented with 4.0 mg/l BAP +1.0 mg/l IAA, 1.5 mg/l BAP  + 0.5 mg/l IAA and 5.0 mg/l BAP +1.0 mg/l IAA in Diamant, Cardinal  and  Granola, respectively. In Diamant spontaneous in vitro microtuberization was obtained from these proliferated shoots. Further culturing of these in vitro grown green microtubers regenerated a large number of shoots on MS containing 4.0 mg/l BAP +1.0 mg/l IAA. By combining the best treatments, this protocol yielded an average transformation rate of 87% of treared explants. Stable expression of GUS gene was visualized in the various parts of transformed shoots through histochemical assay. Genomic DNA was isolated from transformed shoots and stable integration of the GUS and nptII genes was confirmed by PCR analysis.   Key words:  Potato, in vitro regeneration, transformation   D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v20i2.6894   Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 20(2): 145-155, 2010 (December)

Agrobacterium tumefaciens Mediated Genetic Transformation of acvB Gene in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Genetic transformations are now routinely applied to plant mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens as the most convenient technique. This study aimed to prove the success of A. tumefaciens mediated genetic transformation in potato. A. tumefaciens LBA (pBI 121) and explant of potato shoot were used in this study. Explants were grown in vitro on Murashige and Skoog media. Transformation was implemented using smear technique by smearing A. tumefaciens to injured explant. Experimental groups consisted of two groups: control group which did not receive transformation treatment and treatment group receiving transformation treatment. Explant growth was observed through the presence of shoots, branches and the shoot height. Explants in the treatment group resulted in a higher number of shoots, branches, and shoot heights compared to control. Phenol compounds appear in explant epidermal tissue, indicating the wounds produced by A. tumefaciens infection, thus the gene predicted to be transformed. Identification by PCR is needed to prove the existence of the acvB gene in potato plants genome, using acvB specific PCR primer as the marker, such as (5?-CCCT CTAG AGAC CCGC GCCA AGGCG-3?) and (5?CGCG TCGA CCTT GTCG GAAAG -3?) with 540-bp in base pair size produced.

Aim. The aim of our work was to obtain transgenic potato plants of Ukrainian varieties with the expression of a double-stranded RNA suppressor of proline dehydrogenase gene. We propose the decrease of proline degradation level and increase of overall proline concentration in obtained transgenic plants. Methods. The Agrobasterium tumefaciens-mediated method of genetic transformation to obtain transgenic plants of potato was used. Internodes of aseptic potato plants were transformed with a binary vector pBi2E containing an inverted repeats of two copies of proline dehydrogenase gene’s first exon and the gene of neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII). Results. As a result of experiments kanamycin resistant transgenic potato lines of Deseiree, Belarusian 12 and Slavianka varieties were obtained. The transgenic nature of the obtained plants was confirmed by PCR with primers specific to the first exon of proline dehydrogenase and to nptII genes. Conclusions. The optimized conditions of genetic transformation and used agrobacterial strain allow to obtain the transgenic plants of a model potato variety Désirée, as well as varieties Belorussian 12 and Slovyanka which are of practical interest for cultivation in Ukraine. Keywords: transgenic plants, potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.), stress resistance, proline.
