Abstract:

Sesame is one of important oil crops. However, it was difficult to establish an efficient genetic transformation system, limiting the development of genetic engineering in sesame. In this paper, several influencing factors of establishing regeneration system in sesame were reviewed, including disinfectant, hormone treatment, photoperiod, sucrose concentration, explant type, basic medium, exogenous hormones and AgNO3. The genetic transformation methods were also summarized, and finally the prospects and problems of genetic engineering in sesame were discussed.
