Smith, Roberta H.; Gould, Jean H.; Ulian, Eugenio (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992-11-17)The invention relates to a novel method for transforming and rapidly regenerating plant tissue. The method employs target tissues which are the shoot apices thereby expanding the species range for transformation and reducing ...
