ELECTROPORATION-MEDIATED MOLECULAR TRANSFER IN INTACT PLANTS

摘要

A method for producing a genetically modified plant by introducing a polynucleotide to an intact plant or plant cell(s) via electroporation, in the absence of cell wall-degrading enzymes. Genetically engineered plants produced by the method of the invention are also provided. The invention also provides a method for producing a polypeptide in an intact plant cell, including plant tissue or a whole plant by introducing a biologically active polypeptide directly into the plant.
