Genotype-independent Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated root transformation of chickpea: a rapid and efficient method for reverse genetics studies

Table 2 Efficiency of root transformation of C. arietinum (cultivar Annigeri) with different bacterial suspension media

Bacterial suspension media	Total number of explants inoculated	Explants with antibiotic selection positive roots (%)
MS salt^**	50	72.50 (± 2.5)^a*
Water^**	50	73.33 (± 3.8)^a

Each value represents the mean of three independent experiments with standard deviation (SD). Approximately 50 seedlings were examined for each individual experiment
^∗Values in the same column followed by same letter showed no significant difference among different suspension medium (Fisher’s LSD test, P < 0.05)
^**Co-cultivation was done at 22 °C for 4 days
