ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an efficient, cost effective method for transforming, including stably transforming, plants including monocots, dicots and gymnosperms. The method of the present invention, which is less labor intensive than typical conventional transformation methods, comprises combining the plant and a vector which contains the foreign nucleic acid to be introduced into the plant sample. Preferably the plant sample is sonicated in the presence of the vector. The vector is preferably non-tumor inducing bacteria, more preferably Agrobacterium. The sonication duration is less than 15 minutes, preferably less than 6 minutes more preferably 60 seconds or less. After sonicating the plant sample is cultured under conditions that induce morphogenesis to produce plant tissue that will mature into a transformed plant.
