Safflower is an important oilseed crop with a nutritionally desirable oil composition comprising low levels of saturated fatty acids and high levels of unsaturated fatty acids. In this study, a robust, genotype-independent plant regeneration protocol was developed for geographically diverse safflower genotypes, including one accession each from America, Australia, Egypt, Germany, Kazakhstan and three important Indian genotypes (Sharda, Bhima and PBNS-12). Use of cotyledonary nodes as explants resulted in genotype-independent regeneration on BAP (6-Benzylaminopurine), NAA (Naphthalene acetic acid) and ascorbic acid supplemented MS medium. Histological analysis revealed that multiple shoot apical meristems originated independently from peripheral cortical regions of explants. We developed a highly efficient in vitro micrografting method which enabled successful rooting of 85-90% of regenerated shoots. An efficient genetic transformation system was also established for three Indian genotypes viz., Sharda, Bhima and PBNS-12 using the Agrobacterium strain, LBA4404 and phosphinothricin as the selection agent. This is the first report on use of phosphinothricin-based selection and cotyledonary nodes as explants for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of safflower. Use of vacuum infiltration-assisted Agrobacterium infection and inclusion of a pre-culture step significantly increased transformation frequencies in all the three genotypes as seen by GUS assays on transformed calli. Genomic integration and transgene expression were confirmed by PCR, Southern hybridization and GUS assays. Most transgenic plants (90 %) exhibited a normal phenotype when grown under controlled conditions and produced viable seeds. This protocol would be useful for introduction of desirable traits in diverse genotypes of safflower.
