ABSTRACT:
Transgenic eggplants (Solanum melongena L.) are provided, along with improved culture media and methods enabling efficient regeneration of shoots from cultured explants. The regeneration media contain a combination of growth factors that significantly increase the efficiency of shoot regeneration. Selection media contain combinations of antibiotics particularly effective in supporting shoot regeneration and eliminating Agrobacterium from explants transformed via tDNA techniques. The invention also provides a transgenic eggplant comprising a Bt gene modified for expression in plants. These transgenic eggplants demonstrate significant resistance to the Colorado potato beetle in the greenhouse and in the field.
