Abstract
99 words
Sweetpotato is cultivated worldwide as a valuable source of
food. Weevils cause 60-100% loss of productivity. The present
study aims at genetically transforming selected Ugandan
sweetpotato cultivars with genes that confer resistance to
weevils. A tissue culture method is being optimised to be coupled
with Agrobacterium transformation technique for regeneration
of transgenic sweetpotato. Preliminary results show ability to
form embryogenic callus in six tested cultivars. Magabali cultivar
has shown best response of 72% embryogenic callus. Plant
genotype, plant organ and concentration of growth hormone in
media have shown significant effect on somatic embryogenesis
and could affect plant regeneration efficiency.
