Root Transformation of Arabidopsis
This protocol was adapted from “How to Transform Arabidopsis,” Chapter 5, in Arabidopsis by Detlef Weigel and Jane Glazebrook. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, USA, 2002.INTRODUCTION
Arabidopsis can be stably transformed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transfer of T-DNA. We describe the generation of transgenic plants via root transformation in tissue culture, which can be useful for transforming sterile mutants.
