  • Method for transformation of cotton and organogenic regeneration
    Patent number: 6479287
    Abstract: Protocols for organogenic regeneration of cotton are provided, which makes the in vitro regeneration of mature fertile plants in a reduced amount of time possible. Seedlings are the basis for monocotyl or hypocotyl explants which are transferred from the germination medium to a shoot initiation medium which comprises AgNO3. These explants, prior to shoot initiation, may be transformed with exogenous DNA, either through inoculation with an Agorbacterium agent such as A. tumefaciens, or through biolistic bombardment of the explants with microprojectiles having the exogenous DNA adsorbed onto their surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 1, 2000
    Date of Patent: November 12, 2002
    Assignee: Mississippi State University
    Inventors: Nancy A. Reichert, Teong-Kwee Lim, Margaret M. Young
  • Method for transformation of cotton and kenaf and organogenic regeneration
    Patent number: 5998207
    Abstract: Protocols for ogranogenic regeneration of cotton and kenaf are provided, which makes the in vitro regeneration of mature fertile plants in a reduced amount of time possible. Seedlings are the basis for monocotyl or hypocotyl explants which are transferred from the germination medium to a shoot initiation medium which comprises AgNO.sub.3. These explants, prior to shoot initiation, may be transformed with exogenous DNA either through inoculation with a Agrobacterium agent such as A. tumefaciens, or through biolistic bombardment of the explants with microprojectiles having the exogenous DNA adsorbed onto their surface.
