Efficient transformation of oil palm protoplasts by PEG-mediated transfection and DNA microinjection.

Efficient transformation of oil palm protoplasts by PEG-mediated transfection and DNA microinjection.

Genetic engineering remains a major challenge in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) because particle bombardment and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation are laborious and/or inefficient in this species, often producing chimeric plants and escapes. Protoplasts are beneficial as a starting material for ge...
