  • Patent number: 10253322
    Abstract: Mesocotyl meristem explants that contain multiple primary meristems are transformed via particle bombardment or Agrobacterium-mediated methods. Regeneration is through an organogenesis pathway that allows for secondary multiple bud formation. This method allows for the genotype independent transformation of varieties of wheat.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7026528
    Abstract: Disclosed are processes for producing stably transformed fertile wheat a system of transforming wheat via Agrobacterium. This invention provides methods transforming a variety of explants, such as freshly isolated or pre-cultured immature embryos, embryogenic callus and suspension cells. Also disclosed are methods for recovering transgenic plants after transformation within a short period of time, if the explants are regenerable at the time of transformation. Thus the frequency of somaclonal variation associated with prolonged in vitro culture period is significantly reduced. The transformation frequency using this system is comparable to or better than published methods using other systems, such as microprojectile bombardment.
