An Efficient Technique for Obtaining Solanum nigrum L. Plants Via Transformation by Agrobacterium rhizogenes R1601

The aim of this work is to improve the medicinal plant Solanum nigrum which is distributed in Iraq and increase its alkaloid content. The present study succeeded in finding an efficient technique for regenerating a transformed plants via Agrobacterium rhizogenes. This bacteria acts as natural vector for genetic transformation. Obviously, this Technique is considered the first one which has found a scheme for genetic Transformation of S. nigrum plants.
