Extended Data Fig. 6. Transformation efficiencies of LAB, QLD and Northern Territory (NT) accessions.
Comparison of transformation efficiencies of LAB, QLD and Northern Territory (NT) accessions. (a) Regeneration, selection, shoot development, and root development of LAB, NT and QLD ecotypes post-transformation with a 35S:Cas9 cassette and kanamycin selectable marker (scale bar represents 1 cm). The dates on top of the image indicate the progression of transformation. (b) Comparison of time taken for regeneration, growth (1-2 cm shoots) and rooting of LAB, QLD and NT. ANOVA two-tailed test was performed to determine the significance differences. (Data are presented as mean values +/− standard error (n=3 biologically independent samples). (C) Comparison of regeneration frequency and transformation efficiency of LAB, QLD and NT. ANOVA two-tailed test without transformation was performed to determine the significance differences between percentage data derived from count data. Independent positive transformants of LAB n=72, QLD n=74 and NT n=21 (a single sister plant derived from one single callus) were used to calculate the transformation efficiency.
