The technologies allowing the production of transgenic plants without selectable marker genes, is of great interest in public and environmental safety. For generating such marker-free transgenic plants, possibility has been offered by Multi-Auto-Transformation [MAT] vector system, which combines positive selection, using the isopentenyl transferase (ipt) gene, with a site-specific recombination that generates marker-free plants. In this studyAgrobacterium tumefaciensstrain EHA105 harboring anipt-type MAT vector,pMAT21, containinglacZ, gusgenes and the removable cassette in the T-DNA region was used to produce marker-free transgenicKalanchoe blossfeldianaPoelln., employingiptgene as the selectable marker gene. Co-cultivated explants were cultured on hormone- and selective agent-free MS medium, and 85% of the regenerated shoots showedipt-shooty phenotype with GUS expression. Forty-one morphologically normal shoots were produced during the subculture. More than ninety percent of the normal shoots wereipt−,gus−butlacZ+as determined by PCR analyses. These results indicate that theiptphenotype was clearly distinguishable from non-transgenic as well as transgenic marker-free shoots. This study opens interesting perspective for the generation of marker-free transgenicK. blossfeldianawith objective useful transgene.
