Abstract: Susceptibility of the acceptors to antibiotics and transient expression of β-glucuronidase (Gus) gene were used to determine the optimized conditions for transformation of transverse thin cell layer (tTCL)of aloe (A.arborescens)mediated by Agrobacterium Tumefaciens.The results showed that both cefotaxime and carbenicillin were insusceptible while both kanamycin and hygromycin were rather sensitive to aloe.The transverse thin cell layer (tTCL)from top-part of the bud had higher percentage of shoot generation and Gus gene transient expression.Acetosyringone (AS)was necessary in aloe genetic transformation.

Key words: Aloe, Agrobacterium Tumefaciens, genetic transformation, transverse thin cell layer
