Abstract:
With increase in the population food source must be produced at a higher speed to meet the food demand. With recent advancement in the field of genetic engineering, it is now possible to insert beneficial genes from a completely different species or even kingdom into a target plant, yielding transgenic plants with multiple ideal traits. Diverse methods of plant transformation have been described including biological, chemical and physical based methods. This review present the methods of gene transfer into plants such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation as well as non-biological based approaches and their applications.
