Method for Transforming a Plant Cell or Plant Tissue Using Agrobacterium, Transgenic Plant, Transgenic Cell or Transgenic Tissue, Culture Medium and Use of a Method for Transforming a Plant Cell or Tissue

摘要

There are provided compositions and methods for transforming plants, preferably monocot, and even more preferably, sugarcane. The transformation methods involve infection of plant tissue with Agrobacterium, and co-cultivation using culture medium comprising high concentrations of gelling agent, with the result of inhibiting the exacerbated growth of the bacteria and increasing the transformation frequencies. The invention includes regenerating transformed plants, and the transformed plants themselves.
