✦ Synopsis

The ability to introduce foreign genes into plant cells and to study their transient expression as well as their stable integration into the plant genome, followed by the regeneration of fertile transgenic plants from single transformed cells, forms the basis of many exciting achievements. Together, these provide a new insight into the molecular basis of plant growth and development, and unique opportunities for engineering better and more efficient plants for the future.
