https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Mubritinib-TAK-165.html One of the key factors for ensuring a successful genetic transformation is to effectively introduce genetic materials, such as plasmid DNA, into plant cells. A biolistic gun is one of the two best established and most popular tools for delivery of DNA into maize cells. It is the method that generated the first fertile transgenic maize plant. In this chapter, we describe steps involved in introducing single or paired plasmid DNAs into immature embryos of maize Hi II hybrid genotype, using Biolistic® PDS-1000/He particle delivery system. While we focus on the biolistic delivery process in the protocol presented here, we also provide step-by-step information required for successful regeneration of transgenic maize plants.Genetic improvement of rice is crucial to achieve global food security as rice is an important staple crop for more than half of the global population. One of the methodologies for genetic improvement is biolistic delivery of genetic components into plant cells. In this chapter, we describe steps involved in introducing plasmid DNA carrying gene of interest into rice mature embryos using Biolistic® PDS-1000/He particle delivery system. We also provide information required for recovery of transformed plants and production of transgenic seed for next generation analysis. Using this protocol, typical 50-70 putative independent transgenic callus lines can be generated from 100 bombarded embryos. Transgenic rice plantlets can be produced within 2 months after the initiation of seed germination for transformation.Biolistic delivery of biomolecular cargoes to plants with micron-scale projectiles is a well-established technique in plant biotechnology. However, the relatively large micron-scale biolistic projectiles can result in tissue damage, low regeneration efficiency, and create difficulties for the biolistic transformation of isomorphic small cells or subcellular target organelles (i.e., mitocho
