The efficiency of Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation of the model legume Medicago truncatula cv. Jemalong (genotype 2HA) was evaluated for strains LBA 4404, C58pMP90, C58pGV2260 and AGL1. Binary vectors carrying promoter-gus/gfp reporter gene fusions and the nptII gene as selectable marker were used for plant in vitro transformation/regeneration. The highest transformation efficiency was obtained with the disarmed hypervirulent strain AGL1 (Ti plasmid TiBo542), for which the percentage of explants forming kanamycin (Km)-resistant calli was double that obtained with each of the other three strains. In addition, we were able to reduce the time necessary for plant regeneration using AGL1, with 24% of the explants generating Km-resistant transgenic plantlets within only 4-5 months of culture. Transgene expression in planta was analysed and found to be conserved in the T-1 descendents.
