Transformed Arabidopsis thaliana plants have been produced by a modified leaf disk transformation-regeneration method. Leaf pieces from sterilely grown plants were precultured for 2 days and inoculated with an Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain containing an avirulent Ti (tumor-inducing) plasmid with a chimeric gene encoding hygromycin resistance. After cocultivation for 2 days, the leaf pieces were placed on a medium that selects for hygromycin resistance. Shoots regenerated within 3 months and…

Transformation of Brassica napus with Agrobacterium tumefaciens based vectors
TLDR
Final proof of transformation was demonstrated by the co-transfer of opine production and kanamycin resistance to progeny in a Mendelian fashion.
In planta transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana
TLDR
The small numbers of transformants recovered from individual T1 plants and the fact that none of the T2 progeny were homozygous for a specific T-DNA insert suggest that transformation occurs late in floral development.
High efficiency Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana leaf and cotyledon explants
TLDR
A highly efficient and fast Agrobacterium-mediated leaf disc transformation system for the Arabidopsis thaliana L. genotype C24 was developed and is appliable not only to leaf explants but also to expanded cotyledons which proved to be an excellent alternative as explant source for transformation experiments.
An improved procedure for transformingArabidopsis thaliana (Landsbergerecta) root explant
TLDR
Using an improved protocol for transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana root explants, one can achieve efficient root regeneration of transformation in Landsbergerecta, an ecotype which is widely used in genetic and molecular analyses and which has been difficult to transform in the past.
Agrobacterium mediated transfer of a mutant Arabidopsis acetolactate synthase gene confers resistance to chlorsulfuron in chicory (Cichorium intybus L.)
TLDR
Analysis of the selfed progenies of two independent transformed clones showed that kanamycin and chlorsulfuron resistances were inherited as dominant Mendelian traits, which will allow new opportunities for chicory breeding.
Leaf disc transformation
TLDR
The Leaf disc transformation of tobacco is the paradigm for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of plant tissues and subsequent selection and regeneration of transgenic plants and this example will be described for tobacco, using a vector that confers kanamycin resistance, pMON200.
Facile transformation of Arabidopsis
TLDR
Both the RLD and Columbia genotypes of Arabidopsis were transformed using slightly different growth regulator regimes, which made it possible to obtain over 100 putative transformants of RLD or Columbia from a single 10 cm petri dish within 2 or 4 weeks after exposure of root explants to the bacteria.
Nematodes as vectors to introduce Agrobacterium into plant roots.
TLDR
A fast plant promoter test was developed by means of a nematode to transfer Agrobacterium tumefaciens into plant roots, and depending on the construct, expression of the beta-glucuronidase gene in the NFS or along the migration path of the nematodes could be seen in the roots of Arabidopsis plants.
Efficient transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana using direct gene transfer to protoplasts
TLDR
Transformation experiments performed with a selectable and a non-selectable gene on separate plasmids resulted in a co-transformation rate of functionally active copies in about 25% of the transformants analysed, suggesting this approach can be used to introduce non- selectable genes into the Arabidopsis genome.
Regeneration of fertile plants from protoplasts of different Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes
TLDR
This protocol was originally developed for Arabidopsis thaliana “Columbia”; however it was shown to be applicable also for the genotypes “Wassilewskija”, “Landsberg erecta” and “Estland” though with differing efficiencies.

A simple and general method for transferring genes into plants.
TLDR
This method for producing transformed plants combines gene transfer, plant regeneration, and effective selection for transformants into a single process and should be applicable to plant species that can be infected by Agrobacterium and regenerated from leaf explants.
