Enhancing tomato regeneration and genetic transformation efficiencies via exogenous chemical treatment and the GRF5 gene modulation

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Supplementation of Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut Medium with phloroglucinol enhanced regeneration efficiency in tomato tissue culture. Heterologous expression of an Arabidopsis growth-regulating factor gene, GROWTH-REGULATING FACTOR5 (GRF5), in tomato improved regeneration and transformation efficiency, suggesting a synergistic effect between phloroglucinol treatment and GRF-mediated pathways.
