Abstract
Transgenic soybean plants have been produced using an Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer system. This procedure relied on a regeneration protocol in which shoot organogenesis was induced on cotyledons of soybean genotypes selected for susceptibility to Agrobacterium. Cotyledon explants were inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens pTiT37-SE harboring pMON9749 (conferring kanamycin resistance and β-glucuronidase “GUS” activity) or pTiT37-SE∷pMON894 (conferring kanamycin resistance and glyphosate tolerance) and cultured on shoot induction medium containing kanamycin. Plantlets were tested for gene insertion 3–4 months post-inoculation. Approximately 6% of the shoots (8 plants to date) produced on the kanamycin-selected cotyledons were transgenic based on assays for GUS expression, kanamycin resistance or glyphosate tolerance. Progeny from two of these plants demonstrated co-segregation of kanamycin resistance and either GUS expression or glyphosate tolerance in a 3:1 ratio indicating a single insert inherited in a Mendelian fashion.
