Abstract excerpt
A protocol for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation with mannose selection was developed for cotyledon petiole, hypocotyl and leaf explants of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L. Mill). More than 400 transgenic plants from three tomato varieties were selected with 1% mannose in combination with 0.1-0.5% glucose. Average transformation frequencies ranged from 2.0 to 15.5% depending on the construct, genotype and...
