Abstract
The cell cycle’s impact on plant transformation has been investigated by various groups, showing that S-phase (Villemont et al., 1997), M-phase (Okada et al., 1986) or both (Meyer et al., 1985) appears to be correlated with increased transformation frequencies. While such studies show that cell cycle progression influences transformation, no methods have been reported that stimulate transformation by expressing cell cycle genes.
