Abstract: In the last 15 years, considerable advances were made in coffee genetic transformation. Different research groups in the world have been able to transform coffee with genes for insect resistance, decaffeinated coffee, herbicide resistance and control of fruit maturation. Although the majority of the research is still limited to laboratory and greenhouse studies, initial field tests with transformed coffee are beginning to appear in the literature. In this review we provide an update on the state of coffee gene… Show more

“…Hence, in the present study, major focus was given to hypocotyl-based direct organogenesis and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation to obtain direct transformed shoots. In spite of the difficulty to accomplish a reliable tissue culture and selective system for transformation, several earlier research groups have been able to transform Coffea using Agrobacterium, biolistic, or electroporation methods (reviewed by Ribas et al 2006). Of these, the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation was able to give consistent response.…”

“…Simultaneously for the optimization of physical, biological and environmental parameters that affect the efficiency of the biolistic procedure, the choice of suitable selectable marker, its optimal concentration and the timing of selection are critical (Tadesse et al 2003;Ribas et al 2006). Selection agents must allow the proliferation of transformed cells and reduced tissue polyphenolic oxidation.…”

“…Some authors report that there are some metabolic transformations during maturation of the fruit arising from ethylene synthesis, such as accumulation of sugars, anthocyanins and carotenoids. Carotenoids are responsible for fruit pigmentation (RIBAS et al, 2006). The differences found may be related to the physiological and metabolic performance of each variety represented.…”
