Abstract
Pineapple is a highly valuable tropical fruit crop with significant economic importance. In pineapple cultivation, several traits could benefit from genetic improvement, such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, fruit quality, shelf life, and yield. The methods used to genetically improve pineapple include traditional breeding, mutagenesis, biotechnology, genetic engineering, and in vitro culture. A few notable scientific groups worldwide performing pineapple genetic transformation include the South China Agricultural University, the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences, the University of Hawaii, and Del Monte. The main transgenes introduced into the pineapple genome are the antisense ACC oxidase gene, herbicide resistance genes, carotenoid biosynthesis genes, and disease resistance genes. Our group at the Bioplant Centre, University of Ciego de Ávila, Cuba, also transformed pineapple and evaluated the field performance over more than 8 years. We compared transgenic ¨Cayena Lisa Serrana¨ cultivar plants to macropropagated controls, evaluating physiological and biochemical indicators of the phenotype. Out of 160 characters evaluated, significant differences were observed in 88 characters between the transgenic plants and the conventionally vegetative propagated plants, and in 70 characters between the transgenic plants and the micropropagated plants. Overall, the phenotype of the transformed material conforms to the phenotype of the two controls. These consistent data reflect the usefulness of characterizing the modified plants.
