Abstract
Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is a healthy cereal with a short lifecycle, and an efficient transgenic method for gene function analysis of sweet buckwheat is lacking. In this study, we developed a simple Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocol using a floral-dip. For this transformation experiment, the Agrobacterium strain GV3101 harboring binary vector pHZM69 with enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) as well as a resistance gene to the herbicide Basta was used. The effect of different cell densities (OD600 = 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0) applied for infection was measured, and maximum transformation efficiency (12.42%) was obtained with cell density of OD600 = 0.6, followed by OD600 = 0.4 (8.48%), OD600 = 0.8 (4.39%) and OD600 = 1.0 (3.62%). Here, sweet buckwheat was successfully transformed by Agrobacterium-mediated floral dip method, which could be a useful tool for the production of transgenic sweet buckwheat and promote genomic function analysis in sweet buckwheat.

The JCF publishes peer-reviewed original Research Articles and Opinions that are of direct importance to Food and Feed Safety. This includes Food Packaging, Consumer Products as well as Plant Protection Products, Food Microbiology, Veterinary Drugs, Animal Welfare and Genetic Engineering.
All peer-reviewed articles that are published should be devoted to improve Consumer Health Protection. Reviews and discussions are welcomed that address legal and/or regulatory decisions with respect to risk assessment and management of Food and Feed Safety issues on a scientific basis. It addresses an international readership of scientists, risk assessors and managers, and other professionals active in the field of Food and Feed Safety and Consumer Health Protection.
Manuscripts – preferably written in English but also in German – are published as Research Articles, Reviews, Methods and Short Communications and should cover aspects including, but not limited to:
· Factors influencing Food and Feed Safety
· Factors influencing Consumer Health Protection
· Factors influencing Consumer Behavior
· Exposure science related to Risk Assessment and Risk Management
· Regulatory aspects related to Food and Feed Safety, Food Packaging, Consumer Products, Plant Protection Products, Food Microbiology, Veterinary Drugs, Animal Welfare and Genetic Engineering
· Analytical methods and method validation related to food control and food processing.
The JCF also presents important News, as well as Announcements and Reports about administrative surveillance.
