Abstract:Regenerating fertileArabidopsis thalianaplants from tissue culture cells with transformed plastid genomes is difficult, because of somaclonal variation in tissue culture cells. For nuclear gene transformation, tissue culture limitations were overcome in Arabidopsis by direct transformation of the female gametes using the floral dip protocol and identification of transgenic events in the seed progeny. DuringAgrobacteriumtransformation the VirD2 protein guides the T-complex, consisting of single stranded transfe… Show more
