Abstract

Biolistic transformation is the dominant method for construction of transgenic cereals. Although the biolistic approach can be optimized for transformation of any plant (and non-plant) species, the efficiency of generated transformants is significantly lower compared to Agrobacterium-based transformations. Protocols for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of grasses have been successfully developed during the past years. However, biolistic transformation continues to be of major importance for gene technological advances in cereals and other higher plants.
