Applications of genetic engineering to crop improvement

1984

Whitfeld, P.R.

The most experimentally demanding aspect of gene manipulation is transferring genes back into plants. A system for gene transfer in some dicotyledonous plants that is based on the Ti-plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens already exists. The challenge is to develop a comparable one for monocotyledons, particularly for the cereals
