“…The type of the target explant is one of the determining factors in the success of transformation system since the regeneration competency of cell types, tissues and organs varies considerably following infection with A. tumefaciens [10]. So far, explants including internodes, leaves, and cotyledons [11,12,13], stems [14], and petals [15,5] have been used as target explant for carnation transformation. Callus has not been utilized in carnation transformation, likely due to challenges encountered during callus regeneration [16].…”

“…Carnation transformation using Agrobacterium has been practiced in several investigations, most of which reported rather low transformation e ciency (less than 10%) [5,6,7,8,9]. However, a lack of a transformation system with a high rate of cultivar-independent gene transfer has been remained a principal constraint to the further molecular breeding of this species.…”

With the rising demand for new cultivars of carnation, efficient transformation protocols are needed to enable the bioengineering of new traits. Here, we established a novel and efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system using callus as the target explant for four commercial carnation cultivars. Leaf-derived calli of all cultivars were inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 containing the plasmid pCAMBIA 2301 harboring genes for β-glucuronidase (uidA) and neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and histochemical assays confirmed the presence of uidA and β-glucuronidase (GUS), respectively in transgenic shoots. The effect on transformation efficiency of medium composition and the presence of antioxidants during inoculation and co-cultivation was investigated. The transformation efficiency was increased to 5% in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium lacking KNO3 and NH4NO3, compared to 0.6% efficiency in full-strength medium. The omission of other components including the entire macro- and microelements, Fe or vitamins from MS medium was also observed to increase gene transfer. Transformation efficiency was increased dramatically to 24.4% across all carnation cultivars by the addition of 2 mg/l melatonin to nitrogen-depleted MS medium. Shoot regeneration was also doubled in this treatment. The establishment of this efficient and reliable transformation protocol can advance the development of novel carnation cultivars through molecular breeding approaches.

The senescence of flower petals is a highly regulated developmental process which requires active gene expression and protein synthesis. The biochemical changes associated with petal senescence in carnation flowers include an increase in hydrolytic enzymes, degradation of macro-molecules, increased respiratory activity and a climacteric-like increase in ethylene production. It is clear that the gaseous phytohormone ethylene plays a critical role in the regulation and coordination of senescence processes. Many reviews on physiology and mode of action of ethylene are available. Molecular cloning led to the isolation of genes involved in ethylene biosynthesis and action. This review describes the current status of the studies on regulation of ethylene biosynthesis and ethylene response in carnation flowers. An overview is given of studies on senescence-related gene expression and possibilities to improve postharvest longevity by genetic engineering.Abbreviations: ACC = 1 aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid; AIB = o-amino-isobutyric acid; AOA = amino oxyacetic acid; AVG = aminoethoxyvinyl glycine; DACP = diazocyclopentadiene; EFE = ethylene forming enzyme; MACC = malonyl 1 aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid; MTA = S-methylthio-adenosine; NBD = 2,5 norbomadiene; ppb = parts per billion; SAM = S-adenosyl-methionine; STS = silver thiosulphate.
