Abstract:

A genetic transformation system of embryogenic calli (Cinnamomum camphora) mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens was established. Experimental result indicated that efficient transformation was obtained with embryogenic calli as acceptor. Hygromycin of 50 mg\5L-1 was efficient in screening embryogenic calli. When the OD600 value of Agrobacterium was 0.6, a high transformation rate was gained. The infection time of 40 min, combined with co culture time of 3 d, remarkably enhanced transformation rate. Results of PCR proved that the GUS gene had integrated into embryogenic calli of C. camphora genome.

Key words: Cinnamomum camphora, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, genetic transformation, PCR
