Abstract

The project aim is the development of an efficient and robust transformation system for wheat, over a period of five years. The basis of the system will be particle bombardment of primary embryogenic cultures. The project will be a collaboration between Rothamsted Experimental Station and the ZENECA Seeds Plant Biotechnology Section; the latter will provide intellectual input, training to Rothamsted staff via secondments and experimental materials. Five staff are requested for the programme, and the cost (spread over five years) is estimated at o1.1 million.
