Abstract
DNA was delivered to intact embryonic axes of the legumePhaseolus vulgaris L. through electroporation. Expression of the ß-glucuronidase reporter gene was observed in hypocotyl and epicotyl tissue in a spot-like manner. Transgene expression was high when a single pulse of 260 ms at a field strength of 225 V·cm−1 was applied but could be achieved within a wide range of electrical conditions. Linearization of plasmid DNA greatly enhanced transient expression levels. The procedure was successful for embryonic axes of all testedP. vulgaris cultivars, for similar explants of several large-seeded leguminous species, as well as for some other tissues ofP. vulgaris.Keywords
