摘要: Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a protected crop in China with high economic value. Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation is a powerful tool to improve agronomic traits and obtain elite germplasm. However, current transformation protocols in melons are inefficient and highly genotype-dependent. To improve transformation in melon, we tested different infiltration methods for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Among these methods, micro-brushing and sonication for 20 s, followed by vacuum infiltration at -1.0 kPa for 90 s, resulted in the strongest green fluorescent protein signal and increased the proportion of infected explants. We transformed melon with developmental regulatory genes AtGRF5, AtPLT5, AtBBM, AtWUS, AtWOX5, and AtWIND1 from Arabidopsis and estimated regeneration frequencies as the number of regenerating shoots/total number of inoculated explants in the selection medium. The overexpression of AtGRF5 and AtPLT5 in melon resulted in transformation efficiencies of 42.3% and 33% in ZHF and 45.6% and 32.9% in Z12, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the control. AtGRF5 and AtPLT5 expression cassettes were added to CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing vectors to obtain transgenic phytoene desaturase CmPDS knockout mutants. Using AtGRF5 or AtPLT5, multi-allelic mutations were observed at CmPDS target sites in recalcitrant melon genotypes. This strategy enables genotype-flexible transformation and promotes precise genome modification technologies in melons.
