Abstract excerpt
Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is a major technique for the genetic engineering of plants. However, there are many economically important crop and tree species that remain highly recalcitrant to Agrobacterium infection. Although attempts have been made to "improve" transformation by altering the bacterium, future successes might come from manipulation of the plant. Recent studies that identified several...
