| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I examined capability of untouched rhizobium strains for a plant transformation technology. Firstly, I established a pathogenic (Ti/Ri) plasmids exchange method, which consists of curing of resident plasmid in recipient cell, addition of transfer origin to the Ti/Ri plasmid in donor cell and conjugation between the donor and the recipient cells. The method was applied to 12 Rhizobium strains for construction of hybrid strains harbor Ti/Ri plasmids from other strains instead of an original one. Total 61 strains including wild type and Ti/Ri-less strains were checked their transformation characteristics, such as an expression of virulence (vir) genes induced by phenolics. As a result, candidate strains useful for transformation, such as the strain strongly expresses vir genes by cocultivation with rice cultured cells, were obtained. The Ti/Ri plasmids exchange method enable us to evaluate the potential characteristics useful for transformation in diverse rhizobium strains.
