Abstract:
A method is disclosed for the Agrobacterium-mediated germline transformation of soybean, comprising infecting split soybean seeds, with a portion of the embryonic axis, with Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing a transgene. The method can further comprise regenerating the explants produced from the transformation of the split soybean seeds comprising a portion of embryonic axis in vitro on selection medium.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates in part to a method for identifying a soybean germline transformant from a population of soybean transformants which are comprised of a combination of soybean non-germline transformants and soybean germline transformants. The soybean non-germline transformants are identified and eliminated early in the transformation process. The soybean germline transformants are detected and selected for culturing into mature soybean plants. The method is readily applicable for screening and obtaining a soybean germline transformant at an early stage in the transformation process.
