PROCESS FOR THE GENETIC MODIFICATION OF MONOCOTYLEDONOUS PLANTS OF THE FAMILY GRAMINEAE USING AGROBACTERIUM

摘要

The process for introducing genetic material into monocotyledonous plants or viable parts thereof comprises transfer microorganisms which are able to introduce said genetic material into monocotyledonous plants or viable parts thereof, and which contain the genetic material to be introduced in a transportable form, being inoculated in the form of a bacterial suspension into the meristematic tissue regions of the plant or viable part thereof. It is also possible, by suitable choice of the time of application with regard to the state of development of the recipient plant, for the transformation frequency to be additionally increased.
