In recent years, transgenic technology has been increasingly applied to improve the yield and quality, increase the resistance of disease, pest and stresses in wheat. The review pays particular attention to the current research progress on wheat transformation techniques, including expression vectors, reporter genes, selectable markers, genes of interest, explants and transformation methods. Based on this, the existing problems in wheat transformation techniques are discussed and the prospect of genetic breeding in wheat is also reviewed.展开更多
