Zusammenfassung:Transformation/regeneration system was developed for agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated gene transfer in tomato. Transformation efficiency depended on variety and type of tissue of tomato. Cotyledon disc transformation was superior to leaf disc transformation. Transformants derived from cotyledon disc transformation yielded 1-10 plantlets per tissue within 2-3 weeks. Transgenic tomato plants expressed kanamycin resistant gene and GUS (beta-glucuronidase) activity.
