Transformed cells were initially selected for 2 weeks on nutrient medium supplemented with kanamycin 20 mg L-1 during callus induction, and then subcultured with 50 mg L-1 until adventitious bud and shoot differentiation. Different factors involved in the early stages of the T-DNA transfer process were studied. Agrobacterium-mediated DNA delivery was most successful when epicotyl fragments excised from 45-day-old seedlings were co-cultivated with an exponentially growing culture of A. tumefaciens at an OD600nm of 0.3, for 5 days in the presence of 50 mu M of acetosyringone. Kanamycin resistant calli were observed on 88.89 % of the explants and transgenic rooted C. cunninghamiana plants were obtained in 6 months. Evidence of genetic transformation was demonstrated by -glucuronidase histochemical assays and polymerase chain reaction analyses. The possibility to obtain transgenic nitrogen-fixing nodules after inoculation by the soil actinomycete Frankia was established. %$ 084 ; 076
