Agrobacterium-
mediated Transformation
Introduction
What is plant transformation and transgenic plants. The term transformation is used exactly as described by Griffith in 1929.Transformation - changing the phenotype of an organism by the addition of foreign DNA to is genome
And transgenic plants are generated by introducting foreign DNA into a plant tissue and regnerating plants contain the foreign DNA.
Types of Plant Transformation
- Agrobacterium-mediated
- A. tumefaciens
- A. rhizogenes
- Uptake of naked DNA
- electroporation
- PEG-mediated
- particle gun
