ABSTRACT
This section describes a set of methods for callus induction followed by the successful regeneration of whole plants and obtaining a culture of transgenic hairy roots from buckwheat plants (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.). Callus induction and regeneration are key steps for many biotechnological, genetic, and breeding approaches, such as genetic modification, production of biologically active compounds, and propagation of valuable germplasm. Induction of hairy roots using Agrobacterium rhizogenes is also an important tool for functional gene research and plant genome modification. While many efforts were invested into the development of the corresponding protocols, they are not equally efficient for different cultivars. Here, we have tested and optimized the protocols of callus induction, regeneration, and transformation using A. rhizogenes for a set of cultivars of F. esculentum, including wild ancestor of cultivated buckwheat F. esculentum ssp. ancestrale and a self-pollinated accession KK8. The optimal medium for callus induction is Murashige-Skoog basal medium with 3% sucrose which includes hormones 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid 2 mg/L and kinetin 2 mg/L; for shoot initiation 6-benzylaminopurine 2 mg/L, kinetin 0.2 mg/L, and indole-3-acetic acid 0.2 mg/L; for shoot multiplication 6-benzylaminopurine 3 mg/L and indole-3-acetic acid 0.2 mg/L; and for root initiation half-strength Murashige-Skoog medium with 1.5% sucrose and indole-3-butyric acid 1 mg/L. A. rhizogenes R1000 strain proved to be the most efficient in inducing hairy roots in buckwheat and T-DNA transfer from binary vectors. Seedling explants cut at the root area and immersed in agrobacterium suspension, as well as prickling the cotyledonary area with agrobacteria dipped syringe needle, are the most labor-effective methods of infection, allowing to initiate hairy root growth in 100% of explants.
