This study details a refined Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation protocol for strawberry (Fragaria spp.). The optimized method enhances regeneration and selection efficiency for key strawberry genotypes, facilitating the development of transgenic plants.

Area of Science:

Plant Biotechnology
Molecular Biology
Agricultural Science

Background:

Genetic transformation in strawberry (Fragaria spp.) is crucial for crop improvement.
Existing Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocols face genotype-dependent limitations in regeneration and efficiency.
Successful transformation relies on efficient regeneration and selection procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe an optimized Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation protocol for strawberry.
To present a protocol demonstrating high regeneration and transformation efficiency in two distinct strawberry genotypes.
To detail the steps involved in achieving successful genetic transformation in strawberry.

Main Methods:

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation using leaf explants from in vitro proliferated shoots.

Evaluation of transformation efficiency in an octoploid Fragaria x ananassa cultivar (Sveva) and a diploid F. vesca cultivar (Alpina W.O.).

Main Results:

The described protocol achieved high regeneration and transformation efficiency in both tested strawberry genotypes.
Successful identification and proliferation of putative transgenic shoots on kanamycin.
Demonstrated the feasibility of the protocol across different ploidy levels in strawberry.

Conclusions:

The optimized protocol overcomes genotype-dependent limitations in strawberry genetic transformation.
This method provides a reliable approach for generating transgenic strawberry plants.
The protocol is applicable to both commercial and wild strawberry species, paving the way for genetic improvement.
