METHOD OF IMPROVING GENE TRANSFER EFFICIENCY INTO PLANT CELLS

摘要

A method for gene introduction by which higher efficiency for gene introduction than that by the conventional Agrobacterium method may be attained simply and without injuring the tissue is disclosed. According to the method of the present invention, the efficiency of gene introduction into plant cells by a bacterium belonging to genus Agrobacterium is promoted by accompanying centrifugation of the plant cells or plant tissue.
