Summary
ln this study, I tried to establish the necessary protocols for the application of plant biotechnology to breeding oftwo
ipomoea speeies, L batatas (sweet potato) and l, trichocarpa, The results obtained are summarized as fo11ows.
1. High frequency of plant regeneration from leafcalli ofsweet potato.
High frequency p]ant regeneration was established from ]eaf calli of sweet potato (lpomoea batatas (L.) Lam,) cv,Chugoku 25. Calli were formed from teaf segrnents on LS medium supp]emented with O.5mgtl 2,4-D, 3,OOOmgl1 yeast
extract, 5% (W/V) sucrose and O.25% (W/V) ge]]an gum. Plant regeneration occurred at the frequency of more than 25% by
transferring the calli onto the regeneration medium which was LS basal medium without any p]ant growtb regulators, The
presence of either abscisic acid (ABA) or silver nitrate (AgNO]) in the callus induction medium promoted shoot regenera-
tion. The optimum concentration was 2mgtl fbr both ABA and AgNO,, the frequency of plant regeneration being 70 and
73.3%,respectivety,
2. Plant regeneration from leafcalli oflpomoea trichocarpa Ell.
Cal]i werc induced from Ieaf pieces of lpomoea trichocatpa on the LS basal medium supplemented with O.5mgtl 2,4-D,
5mgtl ABA, 3gll yeast extract, 5% sucrose and O.2% gellan gum. These calli formed adventitious buds on the regeneration
med]a containing more than 2mgl1 BA, The highest adventitious bud formation was obtained at 1Omgll BA. Adventitiousroots were atse preduced from calli on alT kinds of the regeneration media used in the present study. There are two type of
the adventitious roots from leafcalli, thick roots (1 ,Omm in diameter) and thin roots (less than O,2mm in diameter). Whenthe carli with adventitious roots were transferred to plant growth regulator CPGR)-free LS medium, 63.3 - 90.6% ofthe roots
produced shoots, Shoots werc on]y regenerated from the thick roots. It was suggested that some adventitious shoot primor-dia were alfeady devetoped on the thick roots. Shoots rcgenerated from both leaf calli and adventitious roots could subse-
guent]y grow to planttets. Then these p]antlets were transplapted to pots containing a mixture of yermiculite and perlite. All
of them grew nonnally in the growth chamber and had norma] seed fertility. No morphological differences were obseryed
in 71 regenerated plants.

3. Cal]us and reot formation from protoplasts of mesophyll and cu]tured celts.
Protoplasts were iso]ated from mesophyll tissue, callus and suspension ccll cultures of sweet potato. Viable protoplasts
<7,1× lO`-8,6× 1OS protoplasts/g fresh weight) were obtained from the third Io fifth ]eaves from the top of these plants,whereas younger ones, the first and the second, y3elded only smatl and fragi]e protop]asts which did not divide in the
medium. When chopped leaf tissue was incubated m sterile distii[ed water for t6 h pnor to enzymattc digcstion, the yield of
protoplasts showed 20-fold increased cempared with untreated matemal in all oflhe cu]tivars tested jn the present study. In
protoplast isolation from cultured cel], ffeshly isolated protop]asts from cultured cells were cytop[asmic-rich and 30 to
40gm in diameter, The yield of protep]ast was 1-2x1Ofi cclls/g fresh wight in both cal]us and ce]] suspension cultures, No
clear difference in the yield ofprotoplasts was observed between tsij'o cu[tivars, Abeut 13% of mesophy]1 protoplasts and
25% of cu]tured ceH protoplasts divided on the third day. When these ca[ti derived from both mesephyl] and callus cells
protoplasts wefe transferred onto the regeneration media, a few roots wcre formed from the calli p]aced on the media
containing both BA at O.5, ],O or 2.0 mgtt and IAA at O,2 mgtl, but no shoets were produced.4. [IVansformation of sweet potato plants by Agrobacterium rhizogenes.
Transgenic sweet potato plants were obtained afterAgtvbacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation, Leaf disks of
in vitro plants were inoculated with diiferentA, rhizogenes strains, Numerous hmry roots were induced on leaf disks by both
agropine-type and mikimopine-type strains. Whole plants transformed with Ri-T-DNA were regenerated from the hairy
roots in five cultivars, These plants had wrink]ed ]eaves, altered shape of flowers, reduced apical dommance, shortened
internodes, small storage roots and abundant, frequent]y branching roots that showed redueed geotropism.
Transgenic sweet potato plants possessing both tu)tll and gus genes were a]so obtai ned from the hairy roets by infection
with A. rhizogenes containing the binary yector pBl121 an addition to the wild-type Rj-plasmid.
5. Fertile transgenic plants of ipomoea trichocarpa EII, induced by ditferent strains ofAgrobacterium rhizogenes,
Cotyledon exp]ants of lpomoea trichocarpa El], were inoculated with ten strains ofA. rhizogenes. Hairy roots were
produced from the cut surface of exp3ants by mecu]ation with a]] bacterial s[rains. No c]ear differences in rhizogenicity
were observed among the bacterial strains ofA. rhizogenes tested, Whole plants were regenerated from the hairy roots
transformed by all of the bacterial strains. These haify root-derived plants exhibited the expected transformcd phenetype,which was sexually transmitted to the progenies in Mende]tan fashion as a single dominant tocu$.
Transgenje L trichocarpa p]ants possessing bolh thc nptli and gus genes were a[so obtained frorn the hairy roots by
infection with A, rhizogenes containing the binary vecter pBI12hn addition to the wild-type Ri-plasmid,

Chapter 1General Introduction
1-1. Backgrounds of this study
Conyentiona] plant breeding is mainly based on cross-breeding
and mutation breeding methods. They permit increasing genetic
variability and improving genetic composition ot'crop species, Hew-
ever, these methods have several ]imitations in plant breeding. The
cross-breeding method can not be apphed in the breeding of stcri]e
plants and i$ difficult to produce hybnd plants in interspeeific and
intcrgeneric hybridization due to the cross-incompatibility. Thus,
cross-breeding can only be applied for the species included in the
closely related taxa. On the other hand, it is genera]ly difficu]t to
control the mutation events in the induced mutauons, thus this tech-
nique has not been app]ied cthciently to plant breeding {Yamaguchi1 986). Tb overcome the limitation of these conventional p] ant breed-
ing methods, therefore, noycl approaches such as cel] and genetic
engineering techniques are now required to bc incorporated mto
plantbreeding:i.e.genetictransformationpefmitsintroducingnovel
traits to crop species and somatic hybridization technique ailows
producing the hybrids between the species in which the hybrid can
not be produced due to the cross-incompatibility,
The p]ant cel1, tissue and organ culture techniques are prerequi-
site for genetic transformatjon and sematic hybridization. Adyen-
titious shoot formation from cu]tured tissues was first observed with
roet cultures of tebaeco (Nicotiana tahacum) by White (]939).Skoog and Miller (19S7) reported Ihat organogenesis from tobacco
pith tissue cultures cou[d be regulated by plant growth regulators;
high concentrations oi' auxjn promoted rooting, whereas high lev-
els ofcytokinin stimu]ated adventitious soot formation. Since then,
promotion ef shoet regeneration by exogenous cytokinms has been
reported in a nurnber of p]ant specics. However, most of the callus
cultures of cerea]s exhibited organogenesis when they are trans-
t'crred from a medium containing 2,4-D onto a mediurn without it
or contatning IAA or NAA instead of 2,4-D (Nishi et al. 1968,
Niizekj and Oone ]97], Bajaj and Bidani 1980). In some dicotyle-
donous plant species such as celery and carrot, somatic embryo for-
mation from ca]]us culturcs was also promoted by transferring them

M, Otani1 Application of p]ant biotechnology forbreeding of lpvmoea species
onto a medium lacking auxin (Dudits et al. 1976, A]-Abta and Co]1in
1978)). These findings suggest that regulation of shoot formatien
from cultured tissues by exogenous hormones is not simp]e,
Plant protoplasts were first isolated mechanically by cutting the
edge of plasmolysed celts with a razer (K] ercker 1 892). Ihen, Cock-
ing (1960) succeeded in isolating protoplasts enzymatical]y from
root tip ce]ls of tomato seedling by using cellulase extracted from a
cellulolytic fungus Myrothecium verrcama, Furthermore, fakebe
et al. (1968) established mass isolation rnethods of active proto-
plasts from tobacco mesophyl1 tissues by using commefcially avai]-
able enzymes, Nagataand fakebe (1971) then succeeded in regen-
eration of complete plants from enzymatically isolated tobaceo pro-toplasts. Ihese results provided the evidence that the single ce]ls of
higher plants have totipotentnature, Since then. plant protoplasts
have been used extensively in the various researeh area such as
plant physiology, biochemistry, viro]ogy and genetics, especially
somatic cell and organelle genetics. Therefore, p]ant regeneration
from protoplasts has been reperted in a number of higher p[ant spe-
cies, Success in regenerating whole plants from protoplasts even-
tually led to attempts to cembine ccl]s with different genetic back-
ground. In 1972, Carlsen et al, first succeedcd in producing the
sornatic hybrids between IVicotiana tabacum and N. tangsdbcfii by
protopiast fusion, suggesting that somatic hybridization theoreti-
eally offer possjbilities for genetic exchanges between distantly re-
lated species, However, several prob]ems have been perceived in
somatic hybridization for uti]izing in planl breeding. They were,
for example, random chromosome elimination from somatic hy-
brid eells. Iack of morphogenic capacity of hybrid cells, production
of hybrid plants with abnormal morphology and/or sterility {G]ebaand Hoffman 1980, Melchers and Labid ]974, Harms 1983, Galun
and Aviv 1983), which mainly because of genomic incompatibili-
ties as suggested by Harms (1983). Therefore, in order to over-
come these preblems, modified methods such as asymmetric so-
matic and gametosematic hybridization teehniques have been de-
ve]oped and widely examined in a large number of plant species to
introduce a part of nuelear gcnome or organe]]e genome, or te pro-
duce cytoplasmic hybrid (eybrid). Genetic transformation has been developed as an alternative
method to the somatic hybridization for the application of biotech-
nologies to plant breeding. This method is used to introduceaspe-
cific desirable gene into plant celi without concomitant transfer of
unde$irable traits, which usual]y occurs in sexua] cross and somatic
hybridization, In the 198e's, tremendous progresses were made in
the genetic transformation in higher plants {Bajaj 1989). Theseadvances have been due to the development ofefficient gene vector
systems and techniques of plant transt'ormation and regcneratien.
As a result of these pfogresses, several gcnes which relate to agri-
culturally important traits such as yirus resistance (McGarvey and
Kaper, 1993), herbicide resistance (Hinchec et al, 1993), insect re-
sistance (Barton and Miller 1993, Hilder et al, 1993) and qua]ity
improvement CSun and Larkins 1993, Rees 1995) were isolated and
introduced into plant ce]]s to produce transgenic plants without any
othcr undesirable changes. Furtherrnore, the number of fietd re-
lease of transgenic plants has been increastng since the first field
test ot' geneticalSy transformed p]ant was done in 1986, More than
one thousand (1,025) field re]ease experiments were conducted in
32 countries from 1986 to l993 (Goy and Duesing 1995), Recently
the target materials of these plant biotechnologies haye been ex-
tend to not on]y important cereals such as barley, maize, rice and
wheat, but also te horticu]tural crops. In 1994, the Calgene Inc.'s
Flavr SavrTM tomatoes, the first genetica]]y engineered plant prod-
uct were reteased into market in the United States. The tomato has
a synthetic genc that inhibits the expression of polyga] acturonase,
which norma]ly acce]erates fruit softening and contributes to the
over-npening of tomatoes. The fie]d test database of the GIBR
which is an industry associanon ot' 19 European companies involved
in biotechno[ogy, suggests that 1O to 20 other geneticalIy modified
plant products seem to qualify for market introductien before the
next century cornes CGoy and Duesing 1995),
1-2. Application of biotechnology to lpomoea genus There are two groups in lpomoea species in the seetion of
BatatasbasedonthecrosseornpatibilitywithLbatatas;oneis4t7inis
series <group A) which has cfoss ineompatibility with J. batatas
and the other is Batatas senes (group B) whjch includes, of course,
sweet potato (I. hatatas) and has the eross eompatibility with it
CTleramura ]979), Considerable traits of wild relatives belongingto group B have been used for sweet potato breeding su ¢ h as dis-
ease and insect resistance and high starch eontent, and a cultivar
Minamiyutaka which has high storage ability and resistances to b] ack
rot, root-knot nernatode arid root-]esion nematode was deve]oped
in Japan (Ono et al. ]977). On the other hand, wtld relatives which
belong to group A have not been used for sweet potato breeding
because of their cross incompatibility with sweet potato,
In sweet potato, p]ant regeneration from callus cultures has been
achieved utilizing shoot tips <Jarret et al. I984, Liu and Cantliffe
1984), reots (Yamaguchi and Nakajima 1972, Hwang et al, l983),
anthers (Sehgal 1978) and ]eaves (Sehgal 1975, Liu and Cant]iffe
1984). However, tn most cascs, thc planl regeneratlon frequency
was very ]ow and genotypic difference in regeneration ability sn]]
remains, In otherspecies ofthe genus lpomoea. a few papers were
reported on plant regcneratien frem cal]us cultures. Xue (1988)cu]tured unferti]ized ovules ofL littoralis and severa] plants were
regenerated. Liu et a],C]990) obtained regenerated plants from
stem, petio]e and ]eafexplant cu]tures of L triloba, Belarmino et
al. (]992) observed plant regeneration from adventitious roots de-
rived frorn ]eaf cu]tures of L lacunosa anct hexaploid L trijida.
Recently, Pido and Kowyarna (199S) obtained regenerated plants
from shoot tips via somatic embryogenesis in seycral diplojd strains
of L trip'da.
Plant regenefation from protoplasts od' several species in the
genus lpomoea was reported by Murata et al. (1987), Sihachakr
and Ducrcux (I987), Suga et al, (1990), Liu et al. (l99 ]), Pcreraand Ozias-Akins {1991) and Be]armino et al. (]994). In genetictransformation of ipomoea species, en]y three repores have been
published. Parakash and Varadarajan (1992) oblained transformed

only induced en the media containing rnore than 2 mg!1 BA, and
that 1O mgll was the most effective (Experiment 2, this Chapter>.
In the present experiment on effect of BA, hewever, the highest

trichocarpa and L trijida, we also obtained similar results in which
shoot fer[nation from the calli was achieved only when the callus
inductton medium conta]ning 5 mg/1 ABA was used (data not
shown). Thorpe (1978) has suggested Ihe lnvolvement ofgibberet-
lin in bud formation in tobaceo. The inhibition by exogenous g]b-
befe]]in m)ght be because the ussue synthesized the hormone in
quantities optimal for the organogenie process, In sweet petato the
promotion ef shoot formation by the addition ot' ABA to the cal}us
inductien medium may be explained en the basis of supraoptima]
levcl of endogenous gibbere]]in in cultured leaf exp]ants. There-
fere, it seemed that the presence of AB,AL in the ca]]us induction
mediurn might be an important ractor for promoting shoot regen-
cratien frem ]eaf ca]h in the lpomoea genus.
Effect of AgNO, on shoot regeneration from leaf calli
Callus induction and callus grewth were not affected by the
addition of AgNO"o thc eaMus ]nduct{on mcdium, By contrast,
the presence of 2 mgt] AgNO, in thc callus induction mcdium was
effective for promoting shoot regeneration from the ca]]i (Tlable 3),
However, higher coneentrations ot' AgNOJmore than S mgll) in
the callus induetion medium had no er rather an inhibitory effect en
the regeneration. The beneficial effect ofAgNO. has been reported
in pollen embrye fonnation I'rom anther cu[Lures of Brussels sprouts
(Biddington et al, 198g, Ockendon and Mclenaghan 1993) and tel-
rap]eid wheat (Ghaem] et a]. 1994), shoot regeneration fFom cailus
culturcs of wheat, Ni(totiana pl"mhagtntljolia (Purunhauser et a].
1987) and maizc (Songstad et al, 1988). and direct shoot regenera-
tion from coty]edonary explan{s of Chmese cabbage (Chi and Pua
1989) and sunflewer (Chraibi et al, l99D, In those ptant speeies,
the stimulation of morphegcncsis was occurred by the addition of
1,3 to 17 mgl] AgNO,. AgNO, is knewn to be a potent inhibitorof
ethylene aetion in p]ants (Beyer l976). Therefore, endogenous eth-
ylene of the leafexplants of sweet petalo may have acted inhibitori1y
to the induction of calli with good regenerat]on ab]lity, which might
be overcome by AgNOi ]n the caitus induction medium.
Characterization of regeneration plants
AII of regenerated plants survived with this aee]imatization pro-
cedure. Among 100 regenerated planls eb{ained, onty one p]ant

ness (F]g. Ib) and failed to preduce tubereus roots (Fig. Ic). De-
spite this abnormal plant, thc frequency ofthe somac]onal variation
seems te be re]atively ]ew Therefore, the plant regeneration sys-
tem established in this study could be efficiently used for the ge-

Introduction

Regenerationmediurn*
L trichocarpa is a wild relative belonging to 4fi7nis series (groupA) which has cress incompatibility with sweet potato and distrib-
utes in the Central America area. It has the biggest flower size
among 2X species involved in lpomoea species, and forms the tu-
berous roots. It also blooms numerous fiowers and is expected as a
new ornamental crep,
Establishrncnt of the methods for plant regcneration from cul-
tured tissues might provide the basis for pessible cell selection, so-
matic hybridization and genetic manipulation. In the wild relatives
ofsweet potato, there have been a few studies related to tissue or
organ culture. Kobayashi (1984) cuitured ]eaf and stem tissues of
30 strains of L trijidu (2X, 4X and 6X) and found that only one
strain (8043, 2X) showed shoot regeneration from the cal]i. Sugaand Irikura (1988) also reported p[ant regeneratron from leaf tis-
sue-denvcd ca]lus ofa strain efL trijida (K221). In the species of
group A. Liu et al. C1990) reported the plant regeneration in stem,
petiole and leaf explant cultures ofL triloba L., and Betarmino et
at, (1992) obtained regenerated plants from ]eaf cuttures of L
lacunosa L.. Hewever, there ha$ been no report on the cell and

Callus induction and shoot regeneration
Calli were induced from leaf explants derived from 30 day-old
aseptically grown plants. Fully expanded leaves were cut into rect-
angular pieces about 1O mm long and inoculated for callus induc-
tion onto LS medium supplemented with O.5 mgtl 2,4-dichlorophe-
noxyacetic acid <2,4-D), 3,Ooo mgA yeast extract, 5% (wtv) sucroseand O,2 % (wlv) ge}Ian gum. In some experiments, 5 mgtl abscisic
acid (ABA) was added in this callus induction medium to examine
its effect on shoot regeneration. For shoot regeneration, calli formed
from leaf explants were transferred onto LS medium supplernented
* LS basal medium contarning O.2 % gellan gum and3 % sucrose.
with various concentrations of BA (O, 2, 5 and 1 O mgt]) and IAA (O,O,2 and O.5 mg/I), 3% (WIV) sucrose and O.2% (W/V) geltan gum,Plant growth regu]ators (PGR) were added te the media prior to
autoclaying and the pH of the media was adjusted te 5,9. The cul-
tures were incubated at 260C under4,8oo lux fluorescent light for
16h,
The adventitious roots derived from leaf segment calli were
transferred for shoot regeneration onto O,2% gellan gum (WIV)-solidified LS rnedium without any PGR,
The adventitious shoots deriyed from both calli and adventi-
tious roots grew and rooted well after transfer onto O,2% gellan
gum (WIV)-solidified LS medium without any PGR. When the
shoots of these plantlets became 1OO to 150 mm long, they were
transferred to pots containing a 2/1 (YtV) ratio of vermiculite and
perlite mixture and placed in a container covered with transparent
plastie film to maintain a high relative humidity, They were wa-
tered twice a week and maintained at 26eC under a 16-h photope-riod with fluorescent ]amps (14,OOO tux) m a growth chamber for

There were twe ways of sheot fegeneration from Ieafexptant-
derived calk, one was the direct formation of adyentitious shoots
from the cat]i and the other was the shoot regeneration from thick
adventitious reots formcd from the calh on the regeneration me-
dium. The highest frequency of dircet shoot regeneration was 20%,
whereas the frequcncy of shoot regeneration from the thick roots
reached to 90,6%. Be]armino et al. (1992) ebserved the formation
of both root types and no dircct shoot regencration from the leaf
ca]1i of i. Iacunosa and L tr(f}'tin, while shc}ots were only producedfrom the thick roots and the t'requency ofthick roots regenerating
shoots were 74.1% in L trofl'da and 16% in L tacunosa. Similar
fesults were also obtained in L trttuha (Liu et a]. 1990) and sweet
potato (Carswcll and Leey 1984, Belarmino et ai. ]992). ]t is sug-
gested that in sweet potato and its wild relatives, the frequencies of
d]rect shoot r'egencrat]on frorn cal1i were re]atiyely low, while ad-
ventttious roet formation occuged at high freguency in genera] and

These findings suggest Ihat the thick reot forrnation from the callus
cu]tures is an important step to inducc p]ant regeneration in wild
relatives of swcet potato and that this shoot regeneration method
may providc a new approaeh to overcome the low ability for p}ant

protopAasts of mesophyil and cuitured cells
Introduction
Protop}asts offer many potentia[ utikzauons t'or ptant b[eeding
through sornatic cel] hybridization and direct gene transfer. An ef-
ficient system for pretoplast isolation and culture is important to
reatizetheseporentials.
In sweet potate, somat]c hybridii.at]on techn]gue is expected as
thc means to introduce nevet traits from wi ld re]atives and to obta]n
intercultivar somatic hybnds, which are dMleult to pruduce by con-
ventional crossing ]nethod, A[though plant regct]eratien t'rom pro-
top]asl has aiready been repetted <Murata et al. 19g7, Shthachakr
and Ducrcux 1987, Perera and Ozias-Akins 1991, Belarmino et al.
1994), the plating efficiencies of these sludies were relauvcly low,
[t ]s generaliy considered that mesophy]l ttssue is a suTtabie
source of protopiasts, since ]arge amount ef tlssues fof protop[ust
]sotation can bc ebtamed l'rom leat' b]ades. However. isolauon of
mesephyl] pretoplasts o[' sweet potato has not been reported be-
fore. Altliough Bidney and Shepard (1980) succeeded m isolation
petiole pretoplasts or sweet potato and ferming callus 1'fem thcm,
Lhey did not succeed in iselatmg mesophyl] proteplasts. One of the
main reason for the d]fficulty in proteplast culture of s"'eet potato
may be the use of protop]asts lso[ated fronunLuct planL organs.
Shepard and r[k)ttcn
{i977) and Shepard et al, {]980) have preposed
that the potato <Solanum tuberosum) plants to be uscd for preto-
p]ast isolation shou[d be grown under prcc]sely controlled condi-
eons ot' nutrient, temperature, hghl intensity. and pholoperied, oth-
erwise the protoplasts might fail to undergo division regardless ol'
the eulture medium. Schenek and Hoffmann Ci979) alse reportcd
simiian'esu[ts in Biusstca campestrts and B. ote racea In the present
study, I descmbe the successfu] results on the ca]lus fortnation t'rom
pretoplasts and thc regeneration of roets from the calh of sweet
potato using in vitro grewn planllets tts the source of mesophy]1
protop]asts.
For the succcssfu] protep[ast culture, cul{ured cells such as cell
suspension cultures and callus cu]tures may have advantage against
to protep}ast release from intaet p]ant organs. As euitured eells are
already conditioned to growth in v]tro, they may re]ease a number
of culturable protoplasts. In the present study, therefore, l also de-
scribe the cal]us formation and establishment of cell suspension
culture in sweet potato. Isolation and culture of protoplasts from
cu]tured ce]ls ot' $weet potate is a]so described.

ile protoplasts which did not dMde in the medium used in this study.
When chopped leaf tissue was incubated in sterile distilled wa-
ter for 16 h prior to enzymatic digestion, the yield of protoplasts
showed 20-fold increase (1.5× 106-1,2× lO' cells/ g fresh weighO
compared with untreated material (7.1×104-8.6×1OS cellsf g fresh
weight> (1labie 8) in all of the cultivars, especially cv. Benihayato,
cv, Chugoku 25 and cv. [[bsabeni. The effectiveness ofwater treat-
ment has previously been reported by Butt (1985) who achieved a
high yield of viable Ieaf mesophyll protoplasts from some mature
deciduous woody-plant species by washing chopped tissue for 30
minutes prior to enzyme addition.
In protoplast isolation from cultured cells, freshly isolated pro-
topiasts from cultured cells were cytoplasmic-rieh and 30 to 40pm
in diameter (Fig. 4c). The yield ofprotoplast was 1-2× 1Ofi cells/g
fresh wight in both callus and cell suspension cultures. No clear
difference in the yield of protoplasts was observed between two
cultivar$.
Protoplastculture
Callus formation has previously been reported only for petiole
protoptasts of sweet potato by means ef ce]1 layer- reservoir system
(Bidney and Shepard 1980). In the present experiments, both me-
sophyll and cultured celt protopiasts were able to develop into calli
rapidly in a simple medium. The first divisions in mesophyil and
cultured cell protoplasts occurred 2-3 days after the start of culture
in the modified liquid N6 medium (Fig. 4d). About 13% of meso-
phyll protoplasts and 25% of cultured cell protoplasts divided on
the third day, They continued to divide and formed cell colonies
(O.Smm in diameter) after 1 month of culture (Fig, 4e). The cel]s
grew rapid]y after the cal]us- forming liquid mediurn was added and
formed small calli (2mm in diameter) 50 days after adding the me-
dium {Fig.40. The small calli were then transferred to the gellan
gum-solidified callus-forming rnedium, and grew to about 5 mm in
diameter within 2 weeks. When the calli derived from both meso-
Callus formation and establishment of cetl suspension cultures
Callus formation from all types of explants started within 1O
days and all of the explants of two cultivars produced calli after 30
days of culture, There were no differences in eal]us production
among the different explants, The calli were fmab]c and white in
color, Tsai and Lin (1973) reported that 2,4-D was the most effec-
tive auxin in both inductien and growth of callus in anthers of sev-
eral sweet potato cultivars. In the present study, the frequency of
callus formation from stem and tuberous rool explants was also
very high. These resu]ts suggest that 2,4-D could induce calli at
high frequencies from any kinds of explants. Cel] suspension eu]-
tures ceu]d be established from al1 ef callus cultures (Fjg. 4a).

suggest that the suspension cutture had ]ost their rcgeneration abil-
ity during the long period of cu]ture.
Root development from the caUi fas a]so been reported m those
derived from petio]e protoplasts (Bidney and Shepard 1980). A]-
though, shoot regeneration from protoplast-derived ealli was
achieved in sweet potato (Murata et at, 1986, Sbihachakr andDucreux1987,PereraandOzias-Akins1991,Belarminoetal.1994),
the frequency of shoot in these studies is stilHow. In exper]ment 2
of Chapter 2, 1 describe the efficient sheot preduction from adven-
titious roots ol' L trichocany)a. It seems that shoot can also be re-
generated from adventitious root at a high frequency in lpomoeaspccies, through which regeneration of shoots from protoplast-de-
nved roots wil[ be achieved
The isolation of protoplasts from cultured cel]s such as ca]]us
and ce]1 sugpension cultures has both advantages and disadvantages
when compared to isolation of protoplasts from intact plants. Cul-
tured eeli could offcr a number of culturable protoplasts, In the
present study, the division freguency of protoplasts derived from
cultured celas was Iw]ce that of mesophyll protoplasts. However, it
may be ditTicult to regeneratc any oreans from cultured cell-de-
rived protoplasts due to Iose of totipotency during the subcu]ture,

Introduction
InfecuonofwoundeddicotyiedonousplantswithAgiobactertum
rhtzogenes can cause hairy root formation at the site of infection
Newly developmg tissues are charactenzed by the acquisition ofa
bacten al DNA fragment from the Ri pl asrmd ofA thtzogenes (White
et al 1982) The [[LDNA fragments ofRi plasmid are stablyinte-
gratedintoplantchromosomes(Chiltonetal 1982) Regenerated
p}ants have been obtained after Iransformation with R]-T-DNA in
agronomically irnportant species such as alfa1fa (Spano et al 1987),
caulifiower {David and Tbmpe 1988), eilsced rape <Ooms et al1985), potato (Oome et al 1985, Hanish Tbn Cate et al 1988) and
tomato (Shahin et al 1986) The plants regenerated from the hairy
roots were characteflzed in several species by distin¢ ti ve morpho-
]ogica] abnormalmes such as wnnk1ed Ieaves, $hortened internodes,
reduced apica] dominance and abundant, frequently branching roots
that showed [educed geotropism (Spano et al 1987, David and
'[bmpe 1988, Ooms et al 1985, Oome et al 198S, Hamsh lbn Cate
et al 1988, Shahin et a] 1986, tcpfer]984) Such phenotypic al-
terations could be of interest for breeding programs

ITie binary vector plasmid pBI121 (Fig 5, Jefferson et al 1987)
was rnobihzed from Eschertchta cott C600 to A rhizogenes C8,
harbonng a wild mikimopme-type R: ptasmid, by tnparental mat-
ing using pRK2013 as a helper plasmid (Dittaet al 1980), and cul-
tured under the same conditions
Transformation and establishment ofhairy root cultures
The apical third to fifth of fully expanded leaves of in vitro
plants were inoculated with A, thtzogenes, accordmg to the meth-
ods of Noda et a} (1987) The inoculated leaf disks were placed on
sterilized moist paper in a glass petm dish and incubated at 26eC in
the dark After 3 to 5 days of incubation, leaf disks were Irans-
ferred to a 1% (W/V) agar or O 32% (WIV) gellan gum-so]]difiedLS medium supplemented w]th 500yglml Clafbranop(Hoechst) and
mcubated under the same condMons Bactema-free root 1ines were
obtained after excision of single roots and propagauon on LS me-
dium supplemented with 400pgtmt CtaforanO and O 32% (WIV)gellan gurn durtng three subcultures
Plant regeneration from hairy roots
The hairy roots <30 to 40 rnm in length) of sweet potato were
transferred onto O 32% gellan gum-solidified LS medium ]acking
both antibiotics and growth regu]ators, and cultured at 26eC under
contmuous i]]umtnation at 38umol m'i s'i by dayhght fiuorescent

produced hairy roots at a higher (51 4-88 6%) frequency
Plant regeneration from hairy root
Adventitious sheot formation was observed when hairy roots
were cultured on O 32% geHan gum-solidified LS medium lacking
both ant]biotics and growth fegu[ators under continuous illumina-
tion (Fig 6b) Regeneration of complete plants was obtained in 5
cultivars (Chugoku 25. Chugeku 35, Hi-slarch, Kyukei ]7-3043
and Yamakawamurasakt) among 1Ocuttivars tested The percent-
ageofhairy roots with shoot format]on was, 50% for Chugoku 25,
]OO% for Chugoku 35, 80% t'or Hi-starch, 40 9% for Kyukei 17-

Al] plants regenerated from the hairy roots showed Ri T-DNA-
induced morphological changes Aemal parts showed decreased
apical dominancc and shortened internodes (Fig 8a) The average
stem length was shortened about one-fifth of that of the normal
plants A difference in stem length was observed among the

ArM1 23 isolated in Japan gave the highest rate ofhairy roet forma-
tion {57 6% of]nfected ]eaf explants produced hairy roots) in our
prcltmmary study David and Tlempe (1988) reported that agropine-
type strains (A4, IS834) were more yirulent than mannopine-type
strains (8196, TR]Ol, TR7) My present fmdings suggest that
mannopine-type strain, ArM]23 ts the mest virulent, although the
viruleney of the mikimopine-type strains is similar to that of the
agroplne-type straln ln sweet potato
Genotypic differences in the susceptibility among the cultlvars
of sweet petato to tnfection with A rhizogenes A13 were also ob-
served S]milar findings have been reported in kale (Chnstey et al1992). faba bean (Ramsay et al 1990). soybean (Owens and Cress
l985) and potato (De Vnes- Uutewaa] et a] 1988) In addition, the

formed plants showed shortened internodes Since dwarfness is
one of the important charactenstics in crop breeding, shortening of
internodes in transformed p]ants is adesirable change On the other
hand, the subterrancan parts of transformed plants showed abun-
dant roots with extensive branching and smaller storage roots as
descnbed in this paper Recent]y introduction of the rotB gene or
the rol C gene of R]-TZ-DNA to a p]ant celi resulted in transgenic
ptants with morpho]ogica] abnormalmes such as reduced apical
dominance and shortened internodes (Oono et al 1987, van Altvorst
et al 1992) The transgenic tomato plant possessmg only the rol B
gene was charactenzed by a reduction in both internode length and
apica] dommance, while the root system of this transgenie plant
was simi]ar to that ofuntransformecl plants (van A]tvorst et al ]992)
The subterranean parts of the transgemc sweet potato plant with the
rol B gene or rot C gene shoutd be compared with those ot' transgenic
plants with the intact Ri plasm]d T-DNA introduced
The present study a[so $hewed that A rhti.ogenes can be used
successfully to transfer foreign genes from a b]nary vector into sweet
potato plants Although t'ew reports have been publi$hed on p]antregenerauon from protop]asts in the sweet potato (Murata et al l987,
Sihaehakr and Ducreux 1987, Perera and Ozias-Akins l991), the
proloplast culture technique has not yet been fu]ly established to
apply to the direct gene transferin sweet potato Since whole p]ants
can be regenerated at a high frequency from hairy roots transformed
by A ihizogenes, the binary vector syslem based on the Ri plasmid
could be cfficient]y app]ied for the geneuc transforma"on el' sweet

Introduction
Many dieotyledonous plants infected with Agrobactenum
rhizogenes are known to show the deve}opment of hairy roots at the
inoculation sites, wherc T-DNA, a bactenal DNA fragment trom
the Ri plasmid ofA thizogenes is incorporated into host p]antce[[(White et al 1982) and stably integrated jnto plant chromosomes
(Chi]ton et a] ]982) The p]ants regenerated from thehairy roots
were characten7ed in scvera] species by dist]ncnve morphotogical
abnorma]ttEes such as wnnkled leaves, shortened internedcs, redueed
apical dominance and abundant roots with extensive branching and
reduccd geotropism (lbpfer l984, Ooms et al 1985a,b. Shahin et
ai l986, Spano et a] 1987, David and Tempe 1988, Hanish Tlen

Morphology of plants regenerated from hairy roots
A]1 of thc plants transformed by the mikimopinc-type strains of
A rhizogenes could survive after transplanting to the expenmenta]
field A]1 the plants regenerated from the hairy roots showed R] IL
DNA-induced morpho]ogical changes In the two hairy root-de-
nved p]ants, A13-l which was transformed by A13, and 1724-1
which was transformed by NIAES1724, the average stern ]ength
was less than one-Ihird of that of the norma] p]ants, the leat' size and
petiole [ength reduced (Tlable 12), and the leaves of transformed
plants were crmkled
The rnorphology of flowers also changed dramatica]ly in hairy
root-dcrived plants The flowers ot'Al3-1 and ;724-] wcre sma]],
reeurved and star-shaped (Table 12), while those of two indcpcn-
dent transformed plants induced by 15834, an agropme type strain
were slightly smaller than those ofuntransformed plants (F]g ]2)
Somc fiower buds (8 2% of fiowers in A13-1 and 23 9% ]n ]724- ])
of mikimopine-type Ri plasmid-mediated transformed p]ants did
not flower, and th]s phenomenon was not observcd in the plantstransformed by other bactena] stratns The hairy root- denved plantstransformedbyacucumopine-typestra]n,NCPPB2659hadtheflow-
ers with similar size and shape to those ofthe plants transformed by
themikimopine-type strains The flowers ofthe hairy root-denved
p]ants transformed by mannopine-type strain, ArM 123 were differ-
ent frorn those transformed by other bacterial strains A]1 the plantstransformcd by mikimopine type strains exhibited invariab]e fea-
tures of the transformed phenotype, while the yamat]on in fiower
shapes was observed among the transformed plants by agropine-
type strain, ]5834 (F]g 13) In both A13-1 and 1724-1, the first
fiowering date delayed more than 7 days and the number of flowersoftransformed plants decreased as eompared to the untransformed
plants (Table 12) However, pollen fetu]]ty of hairy root-defived
p]ants was not altered in cempanson to the untransfonned plants,
sincc more than 90% of potlen grains of both ef the hairy root-
der]ved plants and the untransformed p]ants were stained by O5%

Production of transgenic plants possessing uptU and gus genes
TXuenty plants were regenerated from different hmry root clones
induced by A rhtzogenes 1 5834 possessing a binary vector, pBI121
All regenerated plants produced agropine and mannopine, and ex-
hibited hairy root syndrome Shoots of these regenerated plantswere transferred to LS medium containing 1OO mgtl kanarnycin
Six of the regenerated plants produced many roots 3 days after trans-
fer, whi]e the other plants did not form any roots In our prelimi-nary study using hairy roots transformed by wild type A rhtzogenes
strain, 15834, no root formation or root growth was observed on
the mcdium containing 1OO mgA kanamycin Thus, these six plants
which formed many roots on kanamycin-containing medium were
defined as being resistant to kanamycin Root trps and leafdisks of
the regenerated plants werc stained with X-gluc, suggesting that
gus gene was integrated and expressed in these transgenic p]ants
(Fig 15) Consequently, 30% (6120) ofhairy root-demved plantsobtained in the present study were doubly transformed by Ri p]as-mid TLDNA and pBI121 T- DNA without any selection pressure

gerrninated and the seedlings wcre analyzed for the introduced traits
The genetic analysis showed that segregation for both the Ri phe-
notypes and the pBI121-derived phenotypes includmg kanamycin
resistance and GUS-activity occurred in all the strains (Tabte 14)In strains NGI
- NG3, both Ri- and pBI121-denyed phenotypes
segregated as single dominant genes However, the data from strain
NG4 suggested that two groups ef phenotypes were segregated in-
dependently as the genes located at two dom] nant loci
Discussion
In the present study we succeeded in the transformation of t
tnchocarpa mediated by A thtzogenes No c]ear differences in
pathogemcity were observed among vanous w]ld type A thizogenes
strains The mannopine-type strain,ArM123 and the mikimopine-
type strams, A5, A13, H4, C8, D6, NIAES 1724 and NIAES 1725,
which were isolated in Japan, have a similar virulency to that ot
agropine-type strain when inoculated to I trtchocarpa Although a
similar result had been observed in our prcvious study on sweet
petato (Otani et al l993), the frequency of hairy root fermation in
J trtchocarpawas much higher than that ef sweet potato On the
other hand, difference in pathogenicity ha$ been observed in many
other bactenum-p]antcombinations David and Tempe (1988) re-
ported that agropine-type $trains (A4, 15834) were more virutent
than mannopine-type strains (8196, TR ]O1, TR7) Dobigny et a[
(1995) observed that rhizogenic respense vaned with the baeter]a]
strams, when potato stem explants were inoculated with
cucumopine-type strain 2659, more than 7e% produced hairy roots,
while few rhizogenic responses (2-17%) or no response at all were
obtained with the agropine-type strain, 15834 and mannopine-type
strain, 8196 These results suggested that lpomoea species may
have a w]de susceptibility to varieusA nhtzogenes strains
Shoot regenera"on from hairy roots is an another important
prerequis]te for the successfu1 production of transgenic p]ants by
using A rhtzogenes One of the main reasons for the successful
production of transgenic J tnchocatpa plants with the chimenc
nptll and gus genes in the prescnt study might be the selection ofA
rhizogenes strain, 15834, which showed the highest frequency of
shoot regeneration among the bactemal strains tested
All the chafacteristics observed in the transformed J tnchocaeJa
plants were similar to those observed in the transformed plants ef
Convotvutus arvensts (lbpfer ]984) and sweet potato (Otan] et al
1993), both of which belong to Convotvulaceae fam]ly In the
present study diffcrence in fiower shapes was obseryed among the
plants transformed with different bactena] strains (Fig 12) as wetl
as among the plants transformed with one agropine-type strain,
15834 (Fig 13) Simi]ar fmdings havebeen reported in Convolvu-
tus arvensts and tobacco ([fepfer 1984), potato (Hanisch Tbn Cate
et al 1988), Stytosanthes hetmtlts (Manners and Way 1989) and sweet
potato (Otani et al l993) Dwarfness of the aena] parts was a]so
observed in all ofthe transformed plants Since altered flower shape
and dwarfness are Ihe useful charactefisncs for J trtchocatpa, it is
possible that the transformed plants cou}d be used as the gene sources
for the breeding of this species with novel traits
For furthcr breeding of these Ri-transformed plants, it is impor-
tant that they have ferulity in sexua] organs Berthommeu and
Jouanin (1992) reported that all the transformed rapid cycling cab-
bag¢ plants by A rhizogenes A4 were female feftile, but a]most
male stemle Fortunately, the Ri plasmid-mediated transformed
ptants obtai ned in thc present study exhibited good seed product:onby selfing due to male and female fetu1ity Consequent]y, the trans-
tormed phenotypes were sexuat[y transmitted to the progentes in I
tnchocany)a The transformation system established in the present
study wil[ give us the possibi]ity to introduce some ]mportant for-
eign genes ]nto this spec]es such as disease [esistance and novel
flower color genes ProducLion of pure hnes with dwarfed plants
and novel flower type are now tn progress
Chapter 5General Discussien
Recent development of ptant bio{echnologies sueh as sematie
hybr:dization and genetic transfermauon ha$ been providmg new
approaches for plant breeding These new techniques atlow to in-
troduce novel Iraits into erop speaes, which are not possible to trans-
fer by conventional eross- breeding and mutatien-breeding meth-
ods Success of these technolog]c$ was init]a]ly 1imited to the
Sotanaceous species inve] ved ]n the genera such as Mcottana, Pe-
t"ma and Solanum Cetl and genetic engineering techniques h3ve
suecessfu]ly been apphed for important crop species such as nce,
maize and Brassica species in the 1980's Ihrough l990's, and sev-
eral somattc hybrid plants and transgenic plants have already been
produced m these species Howevef, these techno}ogies have not
been developed we][ in sweet potato and other lpomoea spec]esbecause of the lack of an efficient and rcproducib]e p[ant regenera-
uon systcm ]n these lpotnoea spccies Tberefore,I f]rst examined

Plant regenerat]en trom eu]tured tissues [s influenced by mainly
two factors One isachemica] factor and the other isaphysica] one
relating to culture condit]ens (BhoJwani ttnd Razdan 19g3) Thc
importance ol' chemical factor was tirst suggested by Skoog and
Mil[cr (]957) who proposed the eoncept that the relative concen-
tration of auxin and cytok]nin dctermines organogenetic d]tTeren-

been suggest)ng the imporTance of kind, combinatien and concen-

ined rnainly about chernicat factors
For the plant regeneration from cu]tured tissues, it has been
suggested that selection ot denor tissues is important (O'Hara and
Street 1978, Sh]mada 1978, Flick et al l983, Pienk 1987) In the
present study on cultivar Chugoku 25, leaf t]gsue-der]ved cal]i gavea higher frequency of shoot regeneratmn than thc cdlli demved from
stem and petiole Iissues ]n thc previous studies on other cultivars,

tion was observed from leaf hssue-denved callus cultures irrespec-
tive of the vanous attempts of exogenous hormonal control (Carswelland Locy 1984, Kobayashi 1984, Suga and Inkura 1988) In the
present study, the eptimum concentraUon of BA in the medium for
the adventitious shoot formation from leaftissue- denved callt var-
ied among the different genotypes These results suggest that the
level ot' exegenous cytokmin required for shoot forrnation depended
ontheamountofendogenouscytokininintheculturedtissueswhich
must vary among the different genotypes
In $ome of the recalcitfant ttssues, adventitious shoot forma-
tion couid be mduced or promoted by apptying abscisic acid
(Yamaguch] and Nakajirna 1974, Shepard 1980). and etylene in-
hibitors such as aminoethoxyvinylglycine (Robmson and Adams
1987, ChJ et al 1990) and silver nitrate (Purnhauser et al 1987,
Songstad et al 1988, Chi et al 1990, Chraibt et al l991) ln the
present study, addition ef abscisic acid and silver nitrate to the cal-
lus induction medium clearly promoted shoot productien In my
preliminary study using l tnchocarpa and I trijida, shoot regen-
eration was ebtained ongy from the calli induced on the medium
containing abscisic acid These findings suggest that abscis]c aeid
and ethylene are invo]ved in the production of the calli which pos-
sess the abihty of high shoot regenerauon These fmd]ngs also sug-
gest a possibility for overcoming the low abi]ity of plant regenera-
tion of Ihe other recalcitrant species m lpomoea genus
Another alternative way to regenerate ptants from cultured tis-
sues in recalcitrant plant species might be to induce shools from
adventittous rools regenerated frorn cultured tissues Shoot difier-
enttation from root exp]ants has been reported in some ptant spe-
cies such as Petunta h.vbrtda <CohJin et a] 1979), L.vcoperstcon
peruvianum {Norton and Boil l954), Stylosanthes gu.vamensts
(Mei]er andBroughton 1981), Pelargontum spp (Skirvin and janick
1976), Eustoma grandoflorum {Fu[ukawaet a] l990) and so on ]n
the present study, the frequency of shooE regeneration from adven-
titious roots of I tnchocarpa was very high, and similar results
were obtained in other lpomoea species (Carswell and Locy 1984,
Liuet al 1990, Belarmino et al i992) Asadventitiousroot forma-
tion is easier Ihan shoot regeneration in general, shoot ditTerentia-
tion from adventitious roots a]so be app]ied to other reca]citrant
plantspeaes
In many plant species, somactonal variation was observed
arnong the regenerated plants CBajeq 1990) Altheugh some of the
genetic changes are expected to ofi'erusefu] traits forplant breed-
ing programs, megonty of the changes are uncxpected use]ess ones
and occur very often Therefore, somaclonal vanation shou]d be
suppressed in biotechnological studies on the plants of particular
genotype In the present study, onty one regenerdnt ofsweet potatowas morpho]ogica]ly abnorma] among regenerated plants ot sweet
potato and I trtchocarpa Smcethe frequency of the somaclonal
vanalion seems to be re]auvely tow, these ptant regeneration sys-
tems may be useful for genetic transformation study
Production of sematic hybrids is usefu] for sweel potato breed-
ing as the means for introducing the novel traits from sexuatly in-
compatib]e genotypes or species As the first step for somatie hy-
bndizauon, I examined protoplast isolation and culture in sweet
potato in expenmcnt l and 2 in chapter 3 lsolation of protoplasts
from mesophylt tissues and cel] cu]tures, and callus forrnation and
root regenefation from the protoplasts were achieved in the present
study However, roet regenefation from protoplast-denved cal]i
was vcry low Recently, efficient plant regeneration systems from
protoplasts were developed usmg fast-growing embryogenic cell
suspension cu]tures as the source material in cereals such as maize
(Pnoh and StndahH989, Rhodes et al 1988, Shillito et al 1989),
rice (Fuj]mura et al l985, Tbnyama et a] 1986, Kyozuka et a]
1987) and wheat (Harr]s et al 1988, Wang et al i990, Vasi] et al
1990), whieh had been reca[citrant plant species for a long ttme It
is, therefore, expected that eslab]]shment and the use ot embryo-
genic cell suspension cultures may also help to overcome the iow
frcquency of organogcnesis trom protop]ast-derived calli in swcet
potato
In Japan, ene of the important disease of sweet potato is sweet
potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV) This virus causes the dis-
colorauen in skin of sterage roots, [n all of culuvars, espeaally m
Kokei 14, one ef the mosT important cultivars in Japan As a resu]t,
the market value ot the roots is senously reduced (Usugi et a] 1991)
At present, there is no way of introducing virus resistance character
Io this cultivar by traditiona] breeding method Therefore, virus
free plants produced by the memstern tip cu]ture have been sup-
phed to farmers, who must buy new virus frec p]ants every two to
three years because the plants should be reinfected with the v]rus
by aphids as soon as they are grown in the fie]d Thus, it is neces-
sary to develop new technology wh!ch can introduce the yirus re-
sistance trait to this cu]tivar In ethcr plant species, it has alrcady
bccn repoited lhat transgenic plants which cxpress a viral coat pro-
te]n gene were often resistant te infection with the virus from wh]ch
the coat protein sequcnee was denved (Sturtevant and Beachy 1992)
Recently, Mon et al (1995) isolated thc coat pro tein gene of SPFMV-
S Therefore, estab]ishment ot an efficient system ofgenetic trans-
formation has been expected tbr ]ntroducing this virus resistant gene
into sweet potato As descnbed in expenment 1 in chapter 2, thc
protoplast cu]ture technique m sweet polato hab not yet been fu11y
established fer app]y to the direct gene del!very at present How-
ever, in some species of lpomoea genus, it seems that adyentitious
shoots may read]]y regenerate from adventitious roets Thus, I ex-
amined geneuc trans[brmation of sweet pota[o and I trtchocarpa

and succeeded in obtaining several transgenic plants Furtherrmore,
these transgemc p]ants were tertile and Ri plasm)d T-DNAs and
introdueed [ore]gn genes (nptll and gus) were certainly transmitted
to their progenies ]n the transformation by direct gene transfer to
protoplasts, transgenic plants obtained frequently showed stenhty
CRhodesetal 1988,Tbfiyamaetat 1988) Therefore,A rhizogenes-
mediated transtormation should be superior to the direct DNA de-
1ivery mto protoptasts for obtaming ferti3e transgemc plants Fur-
thermore, this transformation method does not require any special
]nstruments such as etectroporator device and part]cle gun t'or gene
