农杆菌介导的玉米遗传转化系统研究进展

Advance of Agrobaterium-mediated genetic transformation system of maize (Zea mays L.)

农杆菌介导的遗传转化由于具有独特的优点,一直受到育种家、分子生物学家和微生物学家的重视,因此近10年发展很快。玉米是重要的粮食作物,农杆菌介导的玉米遗传转化也取得了重大成就。文章就近年来玉米遗传转化取得的进展、影响转化的重要因素作一小结,并就目前转化存在的问题和前景作简单的讨论。

The Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system is more and more attractive to scientists of microbiology, molecular biology and crop genetics and breeding due to its unique advantages, which promote its development rapidly in the past decade. Great success has been achieved in the Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation system in maize （Zea mays L.）, an important food-supply crop. This article highlights the advances of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system of maize and the major factors of the transformation process. Then, comments on the problems remained and the prospects of this transformation system are made.
