Despite the extensive research on this class of compounds, little information is available on the chemical stability of cytokinins in solution or following an autoclave cycle with Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium. This work describes the stability in aqueous solutions of five widely used adenine-based cytokinins: trans-zeatin (tZ), 6-(γ,γ-dimethylallylamino) purine (2iP), kinetin, benzyladenine (BA), and <i>m</i>-topolin. High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) were used to quantify and identify their degradation. BA, kinetin, 2iP, and <i>m</i>-topolin were stable at 1.0 mg mL<sup>-1</sup> in 0.05 N KOH, with no statistically significant concentration changes (<i>p</i> > 0.05) after 90 d of storage at temperatures of -20°C, 2-6°C, or 25°C. The cytokinin tZ was used as a model compound to evaluate stability under alkaline and acid conditions as well as after repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Trans-zeatin retained >90% of the initial concentration of 1.0 mg mL<sup>-1</sup> when dissolved in 0.01 N KOH and stored at -20°C and 2-6°C for 90 d, with only the 2-6°C temperature treatment showing a statistical significant concentration change (<i>p</i> = 0.03). The 1.0 mg mL<sup>-1</sup> tZ solution in 0.01 N KOH was stable through six repeated freeze-thaw cycles over 90 d without any significant change in concentration compared to the initial freeze-thaw. Yet, tZ showed highly significant concentration changes when dissolved at 50 mg mL<sup>-1</sup> and 0.5 N KOH. All of these adenine-based cytokinins showed exceptional stability following an autoclave cycle at 121°C, 110 kPa for 30 min when in solutions of 1.0 mg mL<sup>-1</sup> in 0.05 N KOH, with no significant degradation detected.

Nodal stem segments of <i>C. alba</i> cultivars 'Aurea' and 'Elegantissima' were cultured on media enriched with six different sources of macronutrients. Media were supplemented with either <i>N</i><sup>6</sup>-benzyladenine (BA) or thidiazuron (TDZ) in combination with 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA).

Use of longer co-culture periods could potentially increase transformation efficiencies by allowing more time for <i>Agrobacterium</i> to interact with plant cells, but bacterial overgrowth is likely to occur, leading to severe tissue browning and reduced transformation and regeneration. Low bacterial inoculum levels were therefore evaluated as a means to reduce the negative outcomes associated with long co-culture. The use of low inoculum bacterial suspensions (approximately 6 × 10<sup>2</sup> bacteria mL<sup>-1</sup>) followed by long co-culture (15 d) led to the production of an average of three transformed sunflower shoots per explant while the use of high inoculum (approximately 6 × 10<sup>8</sup> bacteria mL<sup>-1</sup>) followed by short co-culture (3 d) led to no transformed shoots. Low inoculum and long co-culture acted synergistically, and both were required for the improvement of sunflower transformation. Gene expression analysis via qRT-PCR showed that genes related to plant defense response were generally expressed at lower levels in the explants treated with low inoculum than those treated with high inoculum during 15 d of co-culture, suggesting that low inoculum reduced the induction of plant defense responses. The use of low inoculum with long co-culture (LI/LC) led to large increases in sunflower transformation efficiency.

We therefore review the state of knowledge on the current use of biotechnology applied to cassava cultivars and its implications for breeding the crop into the future. The history of the development of the first transgenic cassava plant serves as the basis to explore molecular aspects of somatic embryogenesis and friable embryogenic callus production. We analyze complex plant-pathogen interactions to profit from such knowledge to help cassava fight bacterial diseases and look at candidate genes possibly involved in resistance to viruses and whiteflies-the two most important traits of cassava. The review also covers the analyses of main achievements in transgenic-mediated nutritional improvement and mass production of healthy plants by tissue culture and synthetic seeds. Finally, the perspectives of using genome editing and the challenges associated to climate change for further improving the crop are discussed.
