Abstract

Since the late 70s both recombinant DNA technology and plant cell and tissue culture techniques have been applied to change the properties of crop plants. Ten years later, these technologies have been used more or less routinely to modify specific traits in a large number of dicotyledoneous plants, including important crop plants like tomato, potato, cotton and oil seed rape. The application of plant cell and tissue culture techniques as well as DNA-transfer technology to cereal crops has made considerable progress in the past decade. This has resulted in stable transformation methods for [hybrid] maize, rice and wheat in the early 90s.
