POTATO TRANSFORMATION COMPOSITIONS, SYSTEMS, METHODS, MICROORGANISMS, AND PLANTS
First Claim
1. A method for transforming and/or transfecting at least one cell of ‘
- Atlantic’
potato with an exogenous nucleic acid, the method comprising;
growing a ‘
Atlantic’
potato;
removing one or more leaf sections;
cultivating the one or more sections on a callus induction medium; and
contacting the one or more leaf sections with Agrobacterium comprising the exogenous nucleic acids under conditions that permit transfer of the exogenous nucleic acid to the one or more sections to produce at least one transformed and/or transfected plant cell.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates, in some embodiments, to potato transformation compositions, systems, methods, microorganisms, and plants (e.g., one or more potato chipping varieties). In some embodiments, a method of transforming and/or transfecting a plant (e.g., ‘Atlantic’ potato) may comprise (a) growing an ‘Atlantic’ potato plant (e.g., from a tuber) for from about 3 weeks to about 4 weeks, (b) removing one or more leaf sections (e.g., each section from about 0.5 cm to about 1 cm in its longest dimension) from the plant, (c) cultivating the one or more sections on a callus induction medium comprising zeatin for about 2 days, and/or (d) contacting the one or more sections with Agrobacterium comprising the exogenous nucleic acids under conditions that permit transfer of the exogenous nucleic acid to the one or more sections to produce at least one transformed and/or transfected plant cell.

17. A method for constitutively expressing an exogenous nucleic acid in a plant cell, the method comprising:
-
cultivating a section of a plant comprising a plant cell on a callus induction medium comprising a cytokinin for up to about 4 days; contacting an expression cassette or expression vector with the cytosol of the plant cell, wherein the expression cassette or expression vector comprises (i) the exogenous nucleic acid, (ii) an expression control sequence operable in the plant to drive constitutive expression of the exogenous nucleic acid, and (iii) a 3′
termination sequence operably linked to the exogenous nucleic acid,wherein the plant is the Atlantic cultivar of potato, and wherein the exogenous nucleic acid is expressed. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
