A novel method of transformation of orchid Doritaenopsis by pollen co-cultured with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. In the present study, a novel plant transformation technique for orchid Doritaenopsis has been developed. Gene transfer was affected by pollination of flowers with pollen co-cultured with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains EHA105 harboring plasmids pCAMBIA1301 or pCAMBIA1302, and strain EHA105 with an activation tagging vector (pTAG-8). The construct pCAMBIA1302 had GFP and pigment biosynthetic gene DFR (dihydroflavonol 4-reductase), while pCAMBIA1301 had £]-glucuronidase (GUS) and F3H (flavanone 3-hydroxylase) genes. Putative transformants (1016 nos) of Doritaenopsis cultivars SPH33 - Dtps.Sinica Sunday were obtained using Agrobacterium tumefaciens of 1*108 CFU/ml without acetosyringone and a coculture period of 12 h. Concentrations of acetosyringone (AS), Agrobacterium and co-cultivation period between pollen and Agrobacterium, before pollination had significant influences on capsule rate and number of transformants obtained among three cultivars of Doritaenopsis. In Doritaenopsis cultivars SPH33 - Dtps.Sinica Sunday, green fluorescent protein (GFP) activity could be seen in 4.89% of transformant seeds. Presence of hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) and GUS genes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and DFR gene by PCR-Southern in selected transformants was confirmed.
