Summary. We report here an efficient Arabidopsis leaf-disc transformation protocol yielding an average transformation frequency of 1.6 transgenic shoots per leaf explant 4 weeks after the bacterial infection period. Subsequent cultivation in vitro is such that a high percentage (85–90%) of the primary transformants produces seeds with an average seed yield of 100–300 seeds per plant. This improved transformation protocol yields mainly (70%) transformants segregating for a single T-DNA locus of which 68% actually contain one T-DNA insert. The objective is to generate a pool of independent transformants harboring an activator T-DNA construct in a gene tagging approach to isolate genes involved in morphogenesis and auxin signal transduction.
