“…The observed strong and constitutive expressions in vascular tissues of petioles, stems and tubers and in leaf mesophyll tissues and vascular stele of roots of GUS positive cassava plants were driven by the CsVMV promoter. Similarly, CsVMV has been reported to drive constitutive expressions of the GUS gene in rice, tobacco and cassava (Verdaguer et al, 1996;Oyelakin et al, 2015). Furthermore, we observed GUS expression in the primary roots and tubers of transgenic cassava, which confirms an earlier report on TME 12 transgenic cassava (Oyelakin et al, 2015).…”

“…However, a chimeric expression of the GUS was observed on regenerated plants obtained from somatic embryos derived from immature leaf lobes, while a uniform expression was observed on regenerated plants derived from axillary buds. A chimeric expression of the GUS in cassava has been previously reported (Ingelbrecht et al, 2010;Oyelakin et al, 2015). In our study, the presence of GUS genetic material was confirmed by PCR amplification in regenerated plants derived from somatic embryos obtained from explants of both, axillary buds and immature leaf lobes; however, a uniform GUS activity was detected in plants regenerated from axillary buds only.…”

“…The transgenic cassava plants used for the present study carried a T-DNA vector with CsVMV-GUS and CaMV 35S-NPTII cassettes transcribing in the opposite direction introduced into the cassava genome through Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains LB4404 (Oyelakin et al, 2015). From transgenic cassava plants at the sixth cycle of vegetative propagation, primary, secondary and cyclic somatic embryogeneses were successfully established using explants of axillary buds and immature leaf lobes.…”

“…Although somatic embryogenesis has been developed in a large number of cassava cultivars and the system has been widely used for producing transgenic plants for molecular biology, functional genomics and in biotechnology for plant trait improvement (Zhang et al, 2005;Ihemere et al, 2006;Oyelakin et al, 2015), the production of transgenic somatic embryos and regeneration of plants stably transformed from transgenic cassavas has not been investigated. Additional understanding of the faithful transmission of transgenes in cassava is essential to improve the efficacy of transgene expression in this economically important crop.…”

The transmission of transgenes via somatic embryos from one vegetative cycle to another in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) has not been well studied to date. This study examined somatic embryogenesis and regeneration from transgenic cassava plants expressing the β -glucuronidase gene (GUS) under the control of a cassava vein mosaic promoter (CsVMV) at the sixth cycle of vegetative propagation. Primary, secondary and cyclic somatic embryos were induced from an axillary bud and immature leaf lobe explants. Plantlet regeneration via shoot organogenesis was examined in the cotyledons of somatic embryos. Histochemical, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse transcriptase PCR analyzes were used to confirm the presence of the GUS gene in regenerated plants. The frequencies of primary, secondary and cyclic somatic embryos from immature leaf lobes were significantly greater (P < 0.05) than those of axillary buds. The transient expression of the GUS gene was detected in all types of somatic embryos from both axillary bud and immature leaf lobe explants. Shoot induction from cotyledons of somatic embryos produced from axillary buds was 27.0% greater than that of leaf lobes, with selection performed with the use of kanamycin. In regenerated transgenic plants (grown from somatic embryos obtained from immature leaf lobes), a non-uniform expression of GUS was observed in three chimeric lines assessed by histochemical and molecular analyzes. In regenerated transgenic plants obtained from somatic embryos from axillary buds, uniform and high expression of GUS was observed in one line in all tested tissues and in most cell types of leaves, stems, petioles, roots and tubers, thus showing the faithful transmission of the GUS transgene under the control of CsVMV promoter via a somatic embryo.

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) or the common ‘peanut’ is a worldwide popular, affordable food containing high protein, calories, vitamins, and minerals. Several biotic and abiotic stresses are responsible for reaching the expected production of peanuts worldwide. Especially, the fungi are the major constraints that not only hamper the production but also that is deadly health hazardous for both human consumption and poultry-livestock. Approaches from various dimensions like cultural management, diseases free cultivar development, hybridization, tissue culture, and genetic transformations have been tried to overcome such challenges. This review epitomizes the total scenario from the plant physiological basis of fungal diseases to the peanut development approaches, which aimed to develop a concrete understanding of sustainable management of peanut production. Comparisons of Genetic Engineering methods such as Agrobacterium-mediated and direct gene gun (particle bombardment- mediated) with traditional hybridization have been compiled here, furthermore, candidate genes transformed to achieve fungus-resistance in peanuts have been listed up to provide an overview. Along with, the limitations of transformation attempts and the techniques for improvisation of transformation techniques have been discussed in sustainable peanut production. This study provides, comprehensive information on fungal-resistant peanut development so that, further research in this arena could be guided in an integrated way, which may serve for the thrust of sustainable improvisation in peanut cultivation.
