THERMOLABILE CAFFEINE FRACTION OF TEA LEAVES AND USE OF THIS FRACTION IN AN EFFICIENT METHOD OF INTRODUCING AGROBACTERIUM-MEDIATED GENETIC TRANSFORMATION IN PLANTS

摘要

The present invention relates to a thermolabile caffeine fraction useful for an efficient Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation in plant systems to develop desired traits in plant, and a method of preparing said fraction from tea leaves and also, an efficient and cost-effective method of introducing said Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation into plant systems using said caffeine fraction of tea leaves.
