Genetic Transformation of Plants

23 Volumes Set Whilst genetic transformation of plants is commonly viewed as a means of bringing about plant improvement, it has not so readily been recognised as a tool for analysing the function of plant genes. This book is unusual in that it focuses on the genetic transformation of a range of plants using a number of different methods. Many plants have been found to be quite difficult to transform, and so various techniques were developed. These techniques include: Agrobacterium suspension drops, electroporation, PEG, "whiskers", and various biolistic methods. A chapter on intellectual and property rights is included. alliinase levels, transgenic maize production, transgenic sorghum plants, sorghum transformation, pollen lots, tungsten microparticles, ferrodoxin oxidoreductase, trade secrecy protection, pollen transformation, immature wheat embryos, maize ubiquitin promoter, tissue electroporation, hairy root formation, hairy root lines, barley transformation, rol genes, soybean transformation, rhizogenes transformation, embryogenic cultures, spruce plants, plant regeneration, transgenic events, tungsten particles, transgenic breeding, particle inflow gun
