The understanding of the physical and genetic structure of plant genomes and the
determination of phenotypes via interactions of coding and non-coding regions
with the environment has quickly become the key to the future of plant breeding
and agriculture. In Transgenic Wheat, Barley and Oats: Production and
Characterization Protocols, expert investigators contribute the latest protocols
for the transformation, regeneration and selection of these three species, using
both biolistics and Agrobacterium tumefaciens, in order to fill the need for
techniques and resources in this vital area of research. Covering such topics as
in vitro Agrobacterium co-cultivation, the manipulation of gene expression, and
GM risk assessment, this versatile collection focuses
