Regulation of hydrogen peroxide accumulation and death of Agrobacterium-transformed cells in tomato transformation

Our previous studies demonstrate that Agrobacterium causes tissue browning that subsequently reduces transformation efficiency in tomato transformation. In addition application of lipoic acid (LA) can reduce tissue browning and increase transformation efficiency in different crops. A major challenge...

Description
Summary:Our previous studies demonstrate that Agrobacterium causes tissue browning that subsequently reduces transformation efficiency in tomato transformation. In addition application of lipoic acid (LA) can reduce tissue browning and increase transformation efficiency in different crops. A major challenge in Agrobacterium -mediated plant transformation is the death of Agrobacterium -transformed cells (DATC), which restricts transgenic plant production. Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) plays a critical role in oxidative stress. However, little is known about the biochemical and molecular mechanisms for DATC. Our biological and correlation analyses showed that Agrobacterium mediated H 2 O 2 accumulation (HOA) and HOA elevation led to DATC during Agrobacterium -mediated tomato cv. MicroTom transformation.
