Abstract

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated cotyledonary-node explants transformation was used to produce transgenic melon. Cotyledonary-node explants of melon (Cucumis melo L. cv. Super VIP) were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium strains (LBA4404, GV3101, EHA101) containing the binary vector (pPTN289) carrying with CaMV 35S promoter-gus gene as reporter gene and NOS promoter-bar gene conferring resistance to glufosinate (herbicide Basta) as selective agent, and the binary vector (pPTN290) carrying with Ubiquitin promoter-GUS gene and NOS promoter-nptll gene conferring resistance to paromomycin as selective agent, respectively. The maximum transformation efficiency (0.12%) was only obtained from the cotyledonary-node explants co-cultivated with EHA101 strain (pPTN289) on selection medium with 5 mg/L glufosinate and not produced a transgenic melon from the cotyledon or cotyledonary-node co-cultivated with other strains. Finally, five plants transformed showed the resistance in glufosinate antibiotic and the GUS positive response in leaf ($T_0$), flower ($T_0$), seeds ($T_1$) and plantlet ($T_1$). Southern blot analysis revealed that the gus gene integrated into each genome of transgenic melon.

Agrobacterium과 자엽절 공동배양으로 대두 형질전환체를 생산하였다. 멜론 (슈피VIP품종)의 자엽절 절편은 선발 마커로서 bar와 reporter로서 gus유전자가 포함된 pPTN289 또는 선발마커로서 nptII유전자와 reporter로서 gus유전자로 제작된 pPTN290벡터를 LBA4401, GV3101, EHA101에 각각 형질전환하여 공동 배양하였다. 최대 형질전환빈도(0.16%)는 EHA101 (pPTN289)균주로 공동배양한 자엽절 절편을 glufosinate가 첨가된 선발배지에서 얻을 수 있었으며, 최종적으로 glufosinate저항성과 잎 ($T_0$), 화기 ($T_0$), 종자 ($T_1$) 및 유식물체 ($T_1$)에서 GUS양성반응을 나타내는 5개체를 얻었다. Southern분석에 의하여 GUS유전자가 멜론 genomic DNA에 도입되어 있음을 확인하였다.
