Abstract

Using hypocotyls as explants, the adventitious shoots of Euonymus fortunei var. radicans were differentiated directly from basal Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different plant growth regulators. The highest regeneration frequency was obtained with MS medium containing 0.5 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 0.01 mg/l α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). A regeneration frequency of 92% and 4.2 shoots per explant were obtained after 30 days of culture. The binary vector pBCGm, containing Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA) gene, was introduced into Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404. Hypocotyl segments of E. fortunei var. radicans were infected through A. tumefaciens-mediated transformation. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR–Southern blot analysis results confirmed that the GNA gene was integrated into the genome of transgenic plants. The highest transformation frequency was obtained with un-precultured explants infected for 30 min with OD600=0.6 Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and co-cultivated for 3 days.
