Abstract

Somatic embryos originating from anther cultures of Vitis vinifera cvs Dornfelder, Muller-Thurgau and Riesling cultured on solid or in liquid medium were used for transformation via Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA 4404. After two days of cocultivation the embryos proliferated in liquid NN69 medium containing kanamycin for selection and cefotaxim for removal of bacteria. Subsequent cultivation of larger embryos was carried out on solid NN69 medium supplemented with kanamycin. Highest conversion rates of selected germinated embryos to rooted plantlets were obtained from embryos of suspension cultures of Dornfelder and Riesling. Transgenic plants of both varieties were adapted to glasshouse and field conditions.
