This report described a simple and efficient method of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation for obtaining transgenic callus tissues of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. Hypocotyl segment explants of soybean were used as the starting material. To improve transformation efficiencies, several factors such as inoculation time, co-cultivation period and addition of antioxidants in co-cultivation medium (CCM) were examined. Callus tissues were induced at both the acropetal and basipetal ends of explants after about 2 weeks of culture on callus induction medium (CIM) containing 0.5 mgoL-1 6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BA) and 2.0 mgoL-1 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The average transformation efficiency reached up to 87.7% based on GUS detection.
Keywords:soybean; hypocotyl segment; Agrobacterium tumefaciens; callus tissues; transformation
