Abstract excerpt
The improvement of garlic plants (Allium sativum L.) via biotechnological approaches is currently limited by the lack of an applicable direct gene transfer system. In this paper, we present the development of a genetic transformation system using particle bombardment for gene delivery and immature clove-derived callus as the gene target. Plasmid DNA (pBI221.23), containing the selectable "hpt" gene for hygromycin...
