USGA Summary Points:Using highly regenerable callus lines developed in our lab, we have developed a protocol to obtain transgenic common bermudagrass plants by the biolistic (gene gun) method using hygromycin B selection. Four such plants are confirmed by DNA hybridization and other analysis. By co-transformation, one of them showed GUS reporter gene activity and three are resistant to the herbicide Finale. Multiple transgene copies in transgenic plants are observed. Using similar conditions, we also have been able to obtain two transgenic common bermudagrass plants by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, which is confirmed by DNA hybridization. The nematode-resistance gene was obtained from a collaborator and gene constructs have been made. By using both biolistic and Agrobacterium approaches to deliver this gene construct, ten hyg B-resistant calluses were obtained. One of them is regenerating.
