Abstract:

In planta transformation methods for obtaining transgenic plants without de-differentiation and redifferentiation of receptor cells have been explored bec-ause of their advantages of genotype independence, ease of operation, high efficiency, lack of somatic mutation, and genetic stability through future gener-ations. Most methods use meristematic tissues or reproductive cells as recept-ors. This review focuses on the current progress of in planta transformation methods, with an emphasis on their applications and prospects for genetic transformation and functional genomics research in Brassica napus.
