당근 절편을 이용한 Agrobacterium spp. 분리, 동정과 선발균주에 의한 연초의 형질전환 = Isolation and identification of Agrobacterium spp. using carrot disc and transformation of Nicotiana gluca by selected strains

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

These studies were carred out to obtain the transformant from tobacco cells by Agrobacterium spp. from crown gall and soil at the natural field in Korea, and identified their virulence. Kodo's and Clark's selective media were used for isolation of Agrobacterium spp. In these media, total of 99 strains were characterized based on the morphological characteristics of colonies. Among them 34 strains were able to induce on carrot discs. And hypervirulent strains C23-1 and K29-1 were identified as Agrobacterium tumefaciens biotype 1 and biotype 2, respectively. These strains formed fast growing, larger gall as compared to those induced by other strains on the carrot discs. Transformed tobacco callus was initiated on the phytohormone free MS medium with 250$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml carbenicillin after co-cultivation of tobacco stem explants and Agrobacteria. On the phytohormone free media, shoot was rarely formed from transformed callus. However, these shoot were teratoma shoots which were not grown as normal shoot, and teratoma shoot from transformant by C23-1 was smaller than that of K29-1.
