Preparing maize callus cultures, useful for regeneration of whole plants, comprises recovering coleoptile leaf tissue of seedlings and inducing callus formation by culturing in presence of proline, silver nitrate and auxins
Preparing a maize callus culture (A), comprises: (a) recovering leaf tissue from the coleoptile region of a seedling; and (b) inducing callus formation by culturing the tissue in the presence of proline, silver nitrate and at least one auxin, is new. Independent claims are also included for: (1) producing a maize suspension culture by conventional conversion of (A); (2) preparing transgenic maize callus, comprising suspension or protoplast cultures by standard processes, but including subjecting (A) to transformation; (3) producing transgenic maize plants, or their parts, by subjecting leaf tissue (from step (a)) or the new callus to transformation then regeneration; (4) preparing optionally transgenic maize plants, or their parts, by regeneration of (A); and (5) transgenic maize plants, or their parts, produced by the method of (4).
