Regeneration of adventitious shoots in process of genetic transformation

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 36))

Abstract

The basis of genetic transformation is the fast and stable introduction of foreign DNA into the genoms of single cells, followed by repeated divisions, and finally regeneration of the whole plants from the progeny of these cells. Regeneration is therefore a very important element of the transformation process and knowledge of regeneration from desirable plant genotypes should precede transformation experiments. Such information can identify the most productive organs and tissues, the proper physiological status of donor plants, and appropriate hormone treatments for efficient regeneration. An effective regeneration system is characterized by an unlimited supply of sterile explants and the ability to maintain long-lasting regeneration from single cells.
