Abstract

Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a popular herb with high economic value and is currently threatened by a severe oomycete disease. An efficient transformation method is a prerequisite for gene functional analysis to accelerate molecular breeding and deploy effective disease management strategies, and breeding through genetic engineering. Here we present a detailed protocol for a highly efficient Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation method for sweet basil, which was established based on a previously reported method by other researchers, with modifications on several aspects, including growth of sweet basil, age of plants used for explants, preparation and concentration of Agrobacteria. This protocol allows researchers in academia and agroindustry to generate transgenic sweet basil plants in an easy, quick and highly reproducible manner. In addition, this protocol may be applicable to transform other species within the genus Ocimum.

Background

Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a popular herb, holding high economic value for its significant medicinal, culinary and cosmetic properties. Its global production is hampered by severe downy mildew disease caused by the oomycete pathogen Peronospora belbahrii. Traditional breeding involving interspecific hybridization in sweet basil has been a hassle with F1 sterility and difficulty in segregating out undesirable traits. On the other hand, genetic engineering of sweet basil offers a platform to study molecular biology, broaden sources of desirable traits and accelerate breeding process. A highly efficient CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing system for targeted mutagenesis of ObDMR1 gene was established for sweet basil using Agrobacterium-mediated stable transformation (Navet and Tian, 2020). Two independent constructs were used for transformation to express gene-editing reagents. With NPTII gene as the selectable marker, we obtained 34 and 48 kanamycin-resistant regenerated plants from 176 and 238 explants, yielding a transformation efficiency of 19.3% and 20.2% respectively. All kanamycin-resistant plants were tested positive for transgene integration. The transformation method we described (Navet and Tian, 2020) differs from the previous Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of sweet basil established by Deschamps and Simon (2002), which utilized the regeneration protocol by Phippen and Simon (2000), in certain aspects: mainly, growth of sweet basil, age of plants selected for explants, preparation of Agrobacteria, and Agrobacterium concentration used to infect explants. We established the protocol using sweet basil cultivar Genoveser. To shorten and simplify the process we used leaf discs from small young leaves (contrary to fully expanded leaves) as explants and a simple method to prepare Agrobacteria. Our lab has been successful in transforming sweet basil with diverse plant binary vectors following this method. Here we provide a detailed protocol for this convenient and reliable transformation method through which transgenic sweet basil plants with stable inheritance of the transgene can be quickly generated. This protocol is expected to enable researchers in academia and agroindustry to meet their needs in basil functional genomics and breeding for desirable traits.
