Abstract:
A tuber disc transformation and regeneration system was devised for potato (Solanum tuberosum). Tuber discs were found to be the most morphogenetic organ on a medium previously optimised for tomato regeneration. Shoot regeneration from tuber discs was rapid and transformed as shown by nopaline assays and Southern blot analysis. The ease and speed of the tuber disc method will allow for the increased use of this commercially important plant in transformation studies.

The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
