(L.) Gaertn. is an exceptional crop known for its remarkable health benefits, high levels of beneficial polyphenols and gluten-free properties, making it highly sought-after as a functional food. Its self-fertilisation capability and adaptability to challenging environments further contribute to its potential as a sustainable agricultural option. To harness its unique traits, genetic transformation in is crucial. In this study, we optimised the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocol for callus, resulting in a transformation rate of regenerated plants of approximately 20%. The protocol's effectiveness was confirmed through successful GUS staining, GFP expression, and the generation of albino plants via gene inactivation. These results validate the feasibility of genetic manipulation and highlight the potential for trait enhancement in .

The -mediated technique is widely employed for soybean transformation, but the efficiency of this method is still relatively modest, in which multiple factors are involved. Numerous chemical and physiological cues from host plants are needed for attraction and subsequent T-DNA integration into the plant genome. Susceptible genotypes may permit this attachment and integration, and the agronomically superior genotypes with susceptibility to would play an important role in increasing transformation efficiency.

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of plants often results in the integration of multiple copies of T-DNA and backbone DNA from binary vectors into the host genome. However, the interplay between T-DNA and backbone DNA remains elusive. In this study, 70.

The genus Flaveria has been studied extensively as a model for the evolution of C photosynthesis. Thus far, molecular analyses in this genus have been limited due to a dearth of genomic information and the lack of a rapid and efficient transformation protocol. Since their development, Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation protocols have been instrumental in understanding many biological processes in a range of plant species.
