<p>A method for transforming monocotyledenous plants such as rice, wheat, rice, corn, barley, sorghum, millet, teff, rye, and oats involves contacting the flowers of the monocotyledenous plant with an Agrobacterium solution or suspension, and subjecting the plant to a vacuum such that the Agrobacterium enters the flowers of the plant. The method is useful in the generation of transgenic monocotyledenous plants. The method is preferably carried out in a vacuum chamber, which forms part of an apparatus useful in the practice of the invention.</p> |
