The present invention relates to a method of preparing a transformed
Cucumis melo using Acrobacterium tumefaciens, more particularly, to a
method for preparing a transformed Cucumis melo, which comprises the
steps of: (a) inoculating a cotyledon from Cucumis melo with
Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring a suitable vector; (b) regenerating
the inoculated cotyledon in a regeneration medium containing 3.0-8.0 mg/l
of kinetin as growth regulator and 0.5-3.0 mg/l of IAA (Indole-3-acetic
acid) and culturing the inoculated cotyledon to obtain regenerated
shoots; and (c) culturing the regenerated shoots on a rooting medium to
obtain the transformed Cucumis melo.
