Comparative transcriptome and functional analyses provide insights into the key factors regulating shoot regeneration in highbush blueberry.

ABSTRACT: Establishing an efficient plant regeneration system is a crucial prerequisite for genetic engineering technology in plants. However, the regeneration rate exhibits considerable variability among genotypes, and the key factors underlying shoot regeneration capacity remain largely elusive. Blueberry leaf explants cultured on a medium rich in cytokinins exhibit direct shoot organogenesis without prominent callus formation, which holds promise for expediting genetic transformation while minimizing somatic mutations during culture. The objective of this study is to unravel the molecular and genetic determinants that govern cultivar-specific shoot regeneration potential in highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). We conducted comparative transcriptome analysis using two highbush blue
