Maize LEC1 Improves Transformation in Both Maize and Wheat

  • Chapter
Plant Biotechnology 2002 and Beyond

Abstract

Since ectopic expression of LEC1 in Arabidopsis can lead to adventive formation of embryo-like structures (Lotan et al., 1998), it was hypothesized that ectopic expression of the maize LEC1 (Lowe et al., 2001) gene could be used to induce somatic embryogenesis in maize and wheat leading to an improved culture response and higher transformation frequencies.
