Summary
DNA Plant Technology
has been granted a United States patent directed to the transformation of a
pepper explant (young cotyledon) with A. tumefaciens or A.
rhizogenes. Shoot formation is then induced from the transformed cells.
Gibberellin and an inhibitor of ethylene are used as components of an
elongation/selection culture medium for shoots.

Title - Genetically transformed pepper plants and methods
for their production
| Claim 1
A method for genetically transforming a pepper plant, said method comprising:
A) co-cultivating explant material from the pepper plant with
Agrobacterium tumefaciens or rhizogenes cells carrying an
exogenous DNA sequence wherein the explant material is selected from the group
consisting of young embryonic cotyledons and young expanded cotyledons;
B)
selecting and inducing shoots from the explant material from step (A), wherein
said shoots are obtained from non-callus material and express the exogenous DNA
sequence; and
C) elongating and further selecting the shoots from step (B)
|
Claim 11
A method for genetically transforming a pepper plant, said method comprising:
A) obtaining the explant material from the pepper plant seed;
B)
co-cultivating the explant material obtained in step (A) with Agrobacterium
tumefaciens or rhizogenes cells carrying an exogenous DNA sequence
in a co-cultivation medium for a time and under conditions selected to effect
transfer of the exogenous DNA sequence to cells of the explant material obtained
in step (A), wherein the explant material is selected from the group consisting
of young embryonic cotyledons and young expanded cotyledons;
C) removing
the Agrobacterium cells from the explant material obtained in step
(A);
D) selecting and inducing shoots from the explant material from step
(C) in a selection/induction medium for a time and under conditions chosen to
produce shoots from non-callus regions of the explant material and select shoots
which express the exogenous DNA sequence, wherein the elongation/selection
medium contains a gibberellin in the amount of about 0.1 to 50 mg/l and an
inhibitor of ethylene action;
E) elongating and further selecting the
shoots from step (D) in an elongation/selection medium; and
F) rooting the
selecting regenerated shoots from step (E) in a rooting medium.
|
Claim 25
A method for generating a pepper plant, said method comprising:
A) obtaining young explant material from the pepper plant, wherein the young
explant material is selected from the group consisting of embryonic cotyledons
and young expanded cotyledons;
B) inducing shoots from the explant material
from step (A) in an induction medium containing BA for a time and under
conditions chosen to induce about regeneration from non-callus regions of the
explant material; and
C) elongating the shoots from step (B) in an
elongation medium containing a gibberellin and an inhibitor of ethylene action.
|
Claim 31
A method for regenerating a pepper plant, said method comprising:
A) obtaining young explant material from a pepper plant seed;
B)
inducing shoots from the young explant material from step (A) in an induction
medium containing BA for a time and under conditions chosen to induce shoot
regeneration from non-callus regions of the explant material, wherein the young
explant material is selected from the group consisting of embryonic cotyledons
and young expanded cotyledons;
C) elongating the shoots from step (B) in an
elongation medium containing a gibberellin and an inhibitor of ethylene action;
and rooting the shoots from step (C) in a rooting medium.
