Genetic transformation of Petunia via pollen 25 Years of plant transformation attempts I

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 24))

Abstract

The first attempts to transform higher plants were published twenty-five years ago. Hess (1969) described with Petunia hybrida the partial correction of a white flowering mutant to anthocyanin synthesis type by incubating swelling and germinating seeds using wild type DNA; one year later, the transfer of a gene governing leaf shape was reported (Hess, 1970). Furthermore, in 1969 Ledoux and Huart reported on DNA uptake into Arabidopsis seedlings, and some years later on the DNA-mediated correction of thiamineless mutants of the same species (Ledoux, et al., 1974).
