The selectable marker system, which utilizes the pmi gene encoding for phosphomannose-isomerase that converts mannose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate, was adapted for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). Only transformed cells were capable of utilizing mannose as a carbon source. The highest transformation frequency of 23% was obtained with 10 g/l mannose and 10 g/l sucrose in the medium. Molecular, genetic analysis, and PMI activity assay showed that the regenerated shoots contained the pmi gene and the gene was transmitted to the progeny in a Mendelian fashion. The results indicated that the mannose selection system, which is devoid of the disadvantages of antibiotic or herbicide selection, could be used for cucumber Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.
