Transgenic plants of cassava (Manihot esculenta) resistant to the herbicide Basta were obtained through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The plants also expressed the uidA gene and two were positive for PCR- and/or Southern-based detection of the nptII gene. Somatic-embryo-derived cotyledon...

Transgenic plants of casssva (Manihot esculenta) with resistance to basta obtained by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation
To help solve breeding problems in cassava that have long eluded conventional strategies, a routine transformation protocol is esential. The agropine-mannopine nondisarmed strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (CIAT 1182) was selected and used with the binary vector pGV1040. This vector contains th...

Progress in Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
Our strategy for Aqrobacterium-mediated cassava transformation involves the utilization of cotyledonary leaves from somatic embryos and infection with both wild and disarmed strains. Virulence tests for wild Aqrobacterium strains as well as regeneration protocols have been developed; the plasmid ...

Towards the development of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and particle bombardment-mediated cassava transformation
Genetic studies of two isozyme loci have been carried out in root tips of eight cassava F1 progenies using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Two loci, esterase-1 (East-1), the most distant cationic region, and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase-1 (Got-1), the most proximal anionic region, were...
