Abstract

The development of facile transformation methods is essential for the genetic manipulation of cereals to create novel phenotypes for exploitation by industry and to understand the molecular basis of genetical variation. Appropriate tissue culture protocols and DNA delivery systems are being developed to facilitate the development of transgenic plants in barley, wheat and rice, as are methodologies for the characterisation of transgenic plants using molecular and genetic approaches, including field trials.
