METHOD FOR TRANSFORMING MONOCOTYLEDONS USING SCUTELLA OF IMMATURE EMBRYOS

摘要

2148499 9506722 PCTABS00036 A method of transforming a monocotyledon which, as compared with the conventional methods, is shortened in the period from the transformation to the regeneration of a plant body, can generally be applied to a plant for which a means for regenerating a plant body from the protoplast is not established as yet, and can dispense with special apparatus, and for which necessary materials are readily available. The method comprises transforming a scutellum of a non-dedifferentiated immature embryo of a monocotyledon with an agrobacterium.
