Abstract:
Methods and compositions for the efficient transformation of sorghum is provided. The method involves infection with Agrobacterium, particularly those comprising a super-binary vector. In this manner, any gene of interest can be introduced into the sorghum plant. The transformed gene will be flanked by at least one T-DNA border and present in the transformed sorghum in low copy number. Transformed sorghum, cells, tissues, plants, and seed are also provided. The invention encompasses regenerated, fertile sorghum plants, transgenic seeds produced therefrom, T1 and subsequent generations.
Abstract:
A method for increasing efficiency of germplasm screening for transformability may include providing a plurality of lines of plant target tissue to be transformed, characterizing each of the lines to provide characterization data, the characterization data comprises DNA or nucleic acid delivery technique response data and tissue culture response data, eliminating one or more of the plurality of lines based on the characterization data without performing transformation of the plurality of lines, such that a subset of the plurality of lines remains, and performing transformation experiments on the subset of the plurality of lines. The method may also include selecting a DNA or nucleic acid delivery technique protocol and a tissue culture protocol prior to the characterization.
Abstract:
A novel double haploid maize line designated PHWVZ and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing a maize plant that comprise crossing double haploid maize line PHWVZ with another maize plant. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PHWVZ through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. Hybrid maize seed, plant or plant part produced by crossing the double haploid line PHWVZ or a trait conversion of PHWVZ with another maize line. Inbred maize lines derived from double haploid maize line PHWVZ, methods for producing other inbred maize lines derived from double haploid maize line PHWVZ and the inbred maize lines and their parts derived by the use of those method.
