Plant Protoplasts and Genetic Engineering II

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 9))

  • 255 Accesses

Abstract

Biotechnology offers several potential benefits in agriculture. Two main areas of interest are: (1) the production of improved food crops and (2) the utilization of plants for the production of commercially important products, as is routine in yeasts and other microorganisms. In order to realize the potential of plant genetic engineering, systems which allow the transfer and expression of foreign genes into plant cells must be developed. To date, three main avenues of investigation have been followed to develop such systems, these are: the use of viral vectors, naked DNA transformation, and the natural gene transfer system of Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
