Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a soil bacterium that for more than a century has been known as a pathogen causing the plant crown gall disease. Unlike many other , Agrobacterium has the ability to deliver DNA to plant cells and permanently alter the plant . The discovery of this unique feature 30 years ago has provided plant scientists with a powerful tool to genetically transform for both basic purposes and for agricultural development. Compared to physical transformation methods such as particle bombard- ment or , Agrobacterium-mediated DNA delivery has a number of advantages. One of the features is its propensity to generate a single or a low copy number of integrated with defined ends. Integration of a single copy into the plant genome is less likely to trigger “gene silencing” often associated with multiple gene insertions. When the first edition of Agrobacterium Protocols was published in 1995, only a handful of plants could be routinely transformed using Agrobacterium. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is now commonly used to introduce DNA into many plant species, including crop species that were previously considered non-hosts for Agrobacterium. Most remarkable are recent developments indicating that Agrobacterium can also be used to deliver DNA to non-plant species including bacteria, fungi, and even mammalian cells. While the list of that can be infected by Agrobacterium has increased significantly over the past decade, the success in transformation also relies on culture responsiveness of the target cells/tissues subsequent to the co-cultivation with Agrobacterium. Essentially, the dynamic interactions between the two living organisms are critical for development of transforma- tion methods. The second edition of Agrobacterium Protocols contains 80 chapters (two volumes) divided into 14 parts. Part I in Volume 1 (Agrobacterium Handling) provides six chapters describing basic techniques in Agrobacterium manipula- tion and strategies for vector construction, major components of plant transfor- mation that are often neglected by many plant biologists. Part II in Volume 1 (Model Plants) consists of seven chapters describing various ways to introduce DNA into three major model plant species, , Medicago truncatula, and Nicotiana. Although most plant laboratories transform these model plants on a routine basis, protocols from leading experts may further enhance their capabilities. Parts III through VI in Volume 1 and Parts I through

vii viii Preface

VII in Volume 2 collect 61 chapters covering protocols for 59 plant species. The plants are grouped according to their practical utilization rather than their botanical classification. The significant expansion of this section reflects the remarkable advancements in plant transformation technology during the past decade. Part VIII in Volume 2 (Non-plants) contains six chapters with proto- cols for introducing DNA into non-plant species such as bacteria, fungi, algae, and mammalian cells. The description of this unique capacity of Agrobacte- rium is a new addition to this edition. Agrobacterium Protocols provides a bench-top manual for tested protocols involving Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. All chapters are written in the same format as that used in the Methods in Molecular Biology series. Each chapter is contributed by authors who are leaders or veterans in the respective areas. The Abstract and Introduction sections provide outlines of protocols, the rationale for selection of particular target tissues, and overall transformation effi- ciency. The Materials section lists the host materials, Agrobacterium strains and vectors, stock solutions, media, and other supplies necessary for carrying out these transformation experiments. The Methods section is the core of each chap- ter. It provides a detailed step-by-step description of the entire transformation procedure from the preparation of starting materials to the harvest of transgenic plants. To ensure the reproducibility of each protocol, the Notes section sup- plies additional information on possible pitfalls in the protocol and alternative materials or methods for generating transgenic plants. Typically, most laboratories only work on one or a few plant species. Of course, each laboratory or individual researcher has his/her own favorite varia- tion or modification of any given plant transformation protocol. The protocols presented in this edition represent the most efficient methods used in the labo- ratories of these contributors. They are by no means the only methods for suc- cessful transformation of your plant of interest. The broad range of target tissue selection and in vitro culture procedures indicate the complexity in plant trans- formation. It is the intention of this book to facilitate the transfer of this rapidly developing technology to all researchers for use in both fundamental and ap- plied biology. I take this opportunity to thank all my colleagues whose time and effort made this edition possible. Special thanks go to my family for their unconditional love and support during the process of editing this book. Kan Wang Contents
