Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of sorghum: factors that affect transformation efficiency

Abstract: The results presented in this work support the hypothesis that Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of sorghum is feasible, analogous to what has been demonstrated for other cereals such as rice, maize, barley and wheat. The four factors that we found most influenced transformation were: the sensitivity of immature sorghum embryos to Agrobacterium infection, the growth conditions of the donor plant, type of explant and co-cultivation medium. A major problem during the development of our protocol was a necroti… Show more

“…Great efforts have been made to adapt gene transfer into cereals via A. tumefaciens as they are resistant to such maneuvers (FRAME et al, 2002;2011). This recalcitrance is related to two different aspects: a) the low in vitro response (CARVALHO et al, 1997;FRAME et al, 2006;GONZÁLES et al, 2012;GRANDO et al, 2013) e b) low explant sensibility to agrobacteria infection (VENNA et al, 2003;CARVALHO et al, 2004;WANG et al, 2007), thus restricting the number of transformed maize genotypes (GONZÁLEZ et al, 2012;OMBORI et al, 2014).…”

“…Since the earliest 90's, laboratories around the world have generated improvements in sorghum regeneration and transformation that are ensuing in more consistent protocols. Transgenic sorghum plants have been generated via biolistic (Casas et al, 1993;Casas et al, 1997;Zhu et al, 1998;Able et al, 2001;Emani et al, 2002;Jeoung et al, 2002;Devi and Sticklen, 2003;Tadesse et al, 2003;Girijashankar et al, 2005) or Agrobacterium mediated transformation (Zhao et al, 2000;Carvalho et al, 2004;Gao et al, 2005;Howe et al, 2006;Van Nguyen et al, 2007;Nguyen et al, 2007;Gurel et al, 2009;Lu et al 2009;Mall et al, 2011).…”

“…Além disso, sorgo é considerada uma das espécies vegetais mais difíceis de se manipular em cultura de tecidos (Shrawat & Lörz, 2006 A maioria dos estudos que reportam a manipulação de sorgo em cultura de tecidos, todos eles visando a produção de calos embriogênicos ou organogênicos para regeneração de plantas no processo de transformação genética, utilizam embriões imaturos como fonte de explante (Carvalho et al, 2004;Howe et al, 2006;Gurel et al, 2009;Kumar et al, 2011;Liu & Godwin, 2012). No entanto, outros tecidos foram propostos, como embriões maduros (Cai et al, 1987) e inflorescências imaturas (Brandão et al, 2012).…”

“…No entanto, a alta produção de compostos fenólicos também se apresenta como um fator limitante no estabelecimento das culturas. Assim, estratégias podem ser adotadas para minimizar a produção de compostos fenólicos e a consequente oxidação dos explantes como o uso dos aminoácidos asparagina e prolina e carvão ativado (Zhao et al, 2000;Carvalho et al, 2004;Raghuwanshi & Birch, 2010). Nos resultados obtidos, evidenciamos que o uso destes aminoácidos foi importante para a formação de calos com base nos protocolos de Brandão et al (2005) e Hosaka & Carrer (2014).…”
