TLDR
In this paper, a novel process for the direct transfer of foreign genes to plant genomes is described, which comprises placing a gene under the control of plant expression signals and transferring it, by contact with protoplasts without the aid of natural systems for infecting plants, direct to plant cells from which genetically transformed plants can subsequently be derived.

Methods and compositions for the production of stably transformed fertile monocot plants and cells thereof

TL;DR: In this article, a reproducible system for the production of stable, genetically transformed maize cells, and to methods of selecting cells that have been transformed, is described. But the system is not applicable to the field of agriculture.

Fertile transgenic corn plants

TL;DR: Fertile transgenic Zea mays (corn) plants which stably express recombinant DNA which is heritable are provided wherein said DNA preferably comprises a recombinant gene which encodes a seed storage protein, so that the amino acid profile of the corn is improved as discussed by the authors.

Transformation and foreign gene expression in brassica species

TL;DR: In this paper, the Brassica species are transformed employing a manipulated Agrobacterium transformation system, followed by regeneration of the plant tissue into plants, and the cells and the plants produced thereby are capable of expressing the foreign gene.

Control of plant gene expression

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for making a genetically modified plant comprising regenerating a whole plant from a plant cell that has been transfected with DNA sequences comprising a first gene whose expression results in an altered plant phenotype linked to a transiently active promoter, the gene and promoter being separated by a blocking sequence flanked on either side by specific excision sequences.

Transformation of intact yeast cells treated with alkali cations.

TL;DR: The transformation efficiency with Cs+ or Li+ was comparable with that of conventional protoplast methods for a plasmid containing ars1, although not for plasmids containing a 2 microns origin replication.

Gene transfer into mouse lyoma cells by electroporation in high electric fields.

TL;DR: A simple physical model for the enhanced DNA penetration into cells in high electric fields is proposed, according to which the interaction of the external electric field with the lipid dipoles of a pore configuration induces and stabilizes the permeation sites and thus enhances cross membrane transport.

Transformation of yeast

TL;DR: This work has used recently developed hybridization and restriction endonuclease mapping techniques to demonstrate directly the presence of the transforming DNA in the yeast genome and also to determine the arrangement of the sequences that were introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of bacterial genes in plant cells.

TL;DR: Chimeric bacterial genes conferring resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics have been inserted into the Agrobacterium tumefaciens tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid and introduced into plant cells by in vitro transformation techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct gene transfer to plants.

TL;DR: Plants regenerated from transformed cell lines were phenotypically normal and fertile, and they maintained and expressed the foreign gene throughout the development of vegetative and generative organs.
