The present invention provides a method for transforming a plant of the family Araceae, comprising introducing a foreign gene into an embryogenic callus of the plant through infection of the callus with Agrobacterium or a microorganism capable of introducing a gene therein by an analogous mechanism to that of Agrobacterium, thereby preparing a transformed embryogenic callus.
A novel method is provided, which makes it possible to perform mass propagation of a plant of the family Araceae, the family Bromeliaceae, or the family Marantaceae. Specifically, a method for producing an embryogenic callus, comprising culturing a leaf sheath or a part thereof of a plant selected from the group consisting of the family Araceae, the family Bromeliaceae, and the family Marantaceae as an explant and then inducing an embryogenic callus and a propagation method comprising regenerating a plant through induction of a somatic embryo from the embryogenic callus obtained by the above method are also provided herein.
