    Notes: Abstract  An improved broccoli transformation system was developed by optimising several factors that affect the rate of effective Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Leaf explants of cultivar Shogun were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4T harbouring the binary vector pART278. The T-DNA of this binary vector contains a neomycin phosphotransferase II (NOS-NPTII-NOS) gene for kanamycin resistance and a β-glucuronidase (35S-GUS-OCS) gene. Several media and factors were evaluated including combinations of arginine, mannopine, acetosyringone and the use of feeder cell layers. The new protocol includes the use of 200 μm acetosyringone in LB medium for bacterial growth, the use of a Brassica campestris feeder cell layer, 10 mm mannopine and 50 μm acetosyringone in the co-cultivation medium and 1 mm arginine in the selection medium. The use of this optimised protocol produced transformation rates of 33% in preliminary experiments transforming broccoli with the antisense 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) oxidase gene from pTOM13.

    Notes: Abstract Broadening of the genetic base and systematic exploitation of heterosis in cultivated lentils requires reliable information on genetic diversity in the germplasm. The ability of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) to distinguish among different taxa of Lens was evaluated for several geographically dispersed accessions/cultivars of four diploid Lens species. This study was carried out to assess whether RAPD data can provide additional evidence about the origin of the cultivated lentil and to measure genetic variability in lentil germplasm. Three cultivars of Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris, including one microsperma, and two macrosperma types, and four wild species (L. culinaris ssp. orientalis, L. odemensis and L. nigricans) were evaluated for genetic variability using a set of 1 11-mer and 14 random 10-mer primers. One hundred and fifty-eight reproducible and scorable DNA bands were observed from these primers. Genetic distances between each of the accessions were calculated from simple matching coefficients. Split decomposition analysis of the RAPD data allowed construction of an unrooted tree. This study revealed that (1) the level of intraspecific genetic variation in cultivated lentils is narrower than that in some wild species. (2) L. culinaris ssp. orientalis is the most likely candidate as a progenitor of the cultivated species, (3) L. nigricans accession W6 3222 (unknown) and L. c. ssp. orientalis W6 3244 (Turkey) can be reclassified as species of L. odemensis and (4) transmission of genetic material in Lens interspecific hybrids is genotypically specific, as identified by the RAPD markers in our study.
