| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the self incompatibility (SI)-assisted pollen-mediated transformation approach was proposed and tested for the alternative transformation technique for Prunus fruit trees. At first, the hairpin gene construct for silencing the pollen SI determinant gene was designed, and its silencing ability was confirmed by the assay using the genetic transformed tobacco plants. Next, the transient-expression vector was developed which contained the hairpin gene and GUS marker gene under control of the pollen-specific LAT52 promoter. The transformation efficiency of sweet cherry ‘Satonishiki’ pollen by particle bombardment was up to 1 % at the optimized condition. Finally, 500~ flowers on ‘Satonishiki’ potted trees were self-pollinated with bombarded-pollen, but no fruit was set. The further study testing the efficiency of the proposed approach was needed to make a conclusion.
