Ethylene (C2H4), a phytohormone that is produced in response to both abiotic and biotic stresses, is an important factor influencing the efficiency ofAgrobacterium-mediated transformation. In this study, effects of various ethylene inhibitors on the efficiency ofAgrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation in drought-tolerant wild watermelon was comparatively examined. Consequently, in comparison to the application of chemical inhibitors such as AgNO3and aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), lower ethylene level was observed when the infectingAgrobacteriumcontained a gene for 1-aminocyclopropane-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase (acdS), which cleaves ethylene precursor ACC into α-ketobutyrate and ammonia. GUS histochemical and spectrophotometric enzyme assays showed thatacdSwas more effective in enhancing gene transfer than the chemical ethylene inhibitors. Efficiency of transgenic shoots formation was higher inacdS- and AVG-treated explants. These observations demonstrated that controlling the ethylene level during co-cultivation and shoot formation, particularly using theacdS-harboringAgrobacterium,is advantageous for enhancing the transformation efficiency in this plant.
