- Title
Adding diversity to plant transformation.
- Authors
Chilton, Mary-Dell
- Abstract
The article presents information on various innovations in the field of medical biotechnology. Patents on the DNA components or on the techniques may impede the production of genetically modified crops that could alleviate hunger and malnutrition in developing countries for introducing DNA into the plant genome and regenerating plants. Transgenic tobacco plants were regenerated from cells transformed by all three non-Agrobacterium strains. There is also good reason to hope that patent holders, having little to lose and much goodwill to gain, will offer contributions of intellectual property for such projects.
