Journal ArticleDOI
Fertile transgenic wheat from microprojectile bombardment of scutellar tissue.
TL;DR: A reproducible transformation system for hexaploid wheat was developed based on particle bombardment of scutellar tissue of immature embryos and the presence of introduced foreign genes in the genomic DNA of the transformants and both marker genes were present in all plants analysed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene transfer to cereal cells mediated by protoplast transformation
TL;DR: Direct gene transfer to cereal cells was achieved by transformation of protoplasts with naked DNA using a selectable chimeric gene comprising the protein coding region of the Tn5 aminoglycoside phosphotransferase type II gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transposition of the maize controlling element “Activator” in tobacco
TL;DR: The results indicate that the maize controlling element Ac is capable of self-catalyzed transposition in tobacco and is among the types of excision products observed to result from Ac-catalystzed excision events in maize.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro fertilization with isolated, single gametes results in zygotic embryogenesis and fertile maize plants
Erhard Kranz,Horst Lörz +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here the possibility of regenerating phenotypically normal, fertile maize plants via in vitro fertilization of isolated, single sperm and egg cells mediated by electrofusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro fertilization of single, isolated gametes of maize mediated by electrofusion
TL;DR: Isolated egg cells of maize showed protoplasmic streaming during 22 days of culture, but they did not divide, but after fusion of the sperm with the egg cells, these fused cells did develop, with a mean division frequency of 83%, and grew to multicellular structures.
