Popis: In the present study, Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Glycine max (L.) Merr. (soybean) cv. DS-9712 using half-seed explants was optimized for eight different parameters, including seed imbibition, medium pH, infection mode (sonication and vacuum infiltration), co-cultivation conditions, concentrations of supplementary compounds, and selection. Using this improved protocol, maximum transformation of 14% and regeneration efficiencies of 45% were achieved by using explants prepared from mature seeds imbibed for 36 h, infected with A. tumefaciens strain EHA105 at an optical density (OD600) of 0.8, suspended in pH 5.4 medium containing 0.2 mM acetosyringone and 450 mg L−1 L-cysteine, followed by sonication for 10 s, vacuum infiltration for 2 min, and co-cultivated for 3 d on 35 mg L−1 kanamycin-containing medium. Independent transgenic lines were confirmed to be transgenic after s-glucuronidase histochemical assays, polymerase chain reaction, and southern hybridization analysis. The protocol developed in the present study showed high regeneration efficiency within a relatively short time of 76 d. This rapid and efficient protocol might overcome some hurdles associated with the genetic manipulation of soybean.
