Solanum lycopersicum  ‘Heinz 1706’ is a pioneer model cultivar for tomato research, whose whole genome sequence valuable for genomics studies is available. Nevertheless, a genetic transformation procedure for this cultivar has not yet been reported. Meanwhile, various genome editing technologies such as transfection of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) ribonucleoprotein complexes into cells are in the limelight. Utilizing the Cas9-expressing genotype possessing a reference genome can simplify the verification of an off-target effect, resolve the economic cost of Cas9 endonuclease preparation, and avoid the complex assembly process together with single-guide RNA (sgRNA) in the transfection approach. Thus, this study was designed to generate Cas9 - expressing ‘Heinz 1706’ lines by establishing an  Agrobacterium tumefaciens -mediated transformation (ATMT) procedure. Here, we report a rapid and reproducible transformation procedure for ‘Heinz 1706’ by fine-tuning various factors:  A. tumefaciens  strain, pre-culture and co-culture durations, a proper combination of phytohormones at each step, supplementation of acetosyringone, and shooting/rooting method. Particularly, through eluding subculture and simultaneously inducing shoot elongation and rooting from leaf cluster, we achieved a short duration of three months for recovering the transgenic plants expressing Cas9. The presence of the  Cas9  gene and its stable expression were confirmed by PCR and qRT-PCR analyses, and the  Cas9  gene integrated into the T 0  plant genome was stably transmitted to T 1  progeny. Therefore, we anticipate that our procedure appears to ease the conventional ATMT in ‘Heinz 1706’, and the created Cas9-expressing ‘Heinz 1706’ lines are ultimately useful in gene editing  via  unilateral transfection of sgRNA into the protoplasts.
