Abstract

Gene transfer technology underpins both crop plant genetic engineering, where it is an obvious prerequisite, and the plant sciences generally, where it is becoming an essential tool for tackling fundamental problems in physiology, biochemistry, developmental biology, molecular biology and genetics. In particular, the use of transgenic plant technology will undoubtedly lead to the development of genetic-based strategies for gene cloning, enabling the linkage of genotype to phenotype, and therefore will provide revolutionary new approaches for identifying genes useful in pure and applied research.
