The supervirulence plasmid pToK47 from Agrobacterium tumefaciens A281 Improves Transformation efficiency of Hevea brasiliensis by Pappusamy, Arokiaraj, R, Leelawathy, Hoong, Yeet Yeang

“…Similarly, Agrobacterium strain GV3850 conferred a higher frequency using the supervirulent plasmid, resulting in 3.5% transformed callus, 138.5% embryogenesis and 3.5% plantlet production compared to the corresponding strain on its own giving 0.7% transformed callus, 137.5% embryogenesis and 9.0% plantlet production. These findings were confirmed by the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test that compared the effectiveness of the supervirulence plasmid in increasing the rate of genetic transformation in the calli surviving in kanamycin growth medium for GV2260 (p<0.001) and for GV3850 (p<0.05). …”
