Plants show amazing morphological differences in leaf form in response to changes in the surrounding environment, which is a phenomenon called heterophylly. Previous studies have shown that the aquatic plant Hygrophila difformis (Acanthaceae) is an ideal model for heterophylly study. However, low efficiency and poor reproducibility of genetic transformation restricted H. difformis as a model plant. In this study, we reported successful induction of callus, shoots and the establishment of an efficient stable transformation protocol as mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404. We found that the highest callus induction efficiency was achieved with 1mg/L 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 2mg/L 6-benzyladenine (6-BA), that efficient shoot induction required 0.1mg/L NAA and 0.1mg/L 6-BA and that high transformation efficiency required 100µM acetosyringone. Due to the importance of phytohormones in the regulation of heterophylly and the inadequate knowledge about the function of cytokinin (CK) in this process, we analyzed the function of CK in the regulation of heterophylly by exogenous CK applicationand endogenous CK detection. By using our newly developed transformation system to detect CK signals, contents and distribution in H. difformis, we revealed an important role of CK in environmental mediated heterophylly.
