Derivation of Recombinant
This system can be widely used, since Agrobacterium infects nearly all dicotyledonous plants. Such cloning in plants has proved to be of immense use to modify agricultural plants to increase their productivity.
Monocotyledonous plants to which our cereal crops belong are, however, difficult materials to be used for improvement through Agrobacterium mediated transformation; success, however, has been achieved in cereals also in recent years.
