Different approaches for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of citrus varieties starting from different tissue sources. (A) Juvenile internodal segments from nucellar seedlings. (B) Embryogenic callus obtained from unfertilized ovules. (C) Mature tissues, such as internodal segments from flushes and leaves. All the shoots or embryos, obtained from regeneration of transformed explants, are grafted onto vigorous rootstocks in order to induce early flowering, with the final aim to shorten the evaluation of the modified traits.
