Transformation and foreign gene expression with woody species.

摘要

Woody species, particularly poplar, are produced by transformation of shoot cultures with the foreign DNA and regeneration of plants from transformed cells, where the plants are capable of expression of the foreign gene. Particularly, poplar shoot cultures are employed and are transformed employing a manipu­lated <Underline style="single">Agrobacterium</Underline> transformation system, followed by regeneration of the plant tissue into plants.
