Abstract
•First report of ornamental Mecardonia transformation with wild-type A. rhizogenes.•Efficient transformation method involves direct shoot regeneration.•Bacterial oncogenes were detected in Ri-lines by PCR and qPCR.•Plant architecture and flower related traits were improved in specific Ri-lines.•Identified oncogenes would be considered useful in Mecardonia breeding.
