Abstract
The technique of genetic transformation of plant cells and regeneration of transgenic plants is possible in many species. The general objectives are to apply this technology in two major areas: the molecular definition of the genetic elements that regulate the expression of genes, and the rapid and directed genetic improvement of existing agricultural, horticultural, and ornamental varieties.
