SynopsisPlant Transformation via Agrobacterium Tumefaciens compiles fundamental and specific information and procedures involving in vitro soybean transformation, which forms the basis for the Agrobacterium-mediated genetic manipulation of soybean using plant tissue culture. This method serves as one of the most preferred, reliable and cost-effective mechanism of transgene expression in both leguminous recalcitrant species and non-legume crops. The technology is favoured due to its simplicity, feasibility and high transformation rates that are so far achieved mostly in monocot plants and a few dicot genotypes. This book provides a comprehensive review of plant transformation which remains necessary for many researchers who are still facing protocol-related hurdles. Among some of the major topics covered in Plant Transformation via Agrobacterium Tumefaciens are the history and discovery of Agrobacterium bacterium, longstanding challenges causing transformation inefficiencies, types and conditions of explants, development of transgenic plants for stress resistance, and the role of transgenic plants on animal/human health, including the environment. Plant Transformation via Agrobacterium Tumefaciens helps the reader to understand how soybean, like many other orphan legume crops, faces the risk of overexploitation which may render the currently available varieties redundant and extinct should its narrow gene pool not improve. Plant transformation serves as a key technique in improving the gene pool, while developing varieties that are drought tolerant, have enhanced nutritional value, pest resistant and reduce the destruction by disease causing microorganims. This book is an essential foundation tool that is available for researchers and students to reinforce the application of Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation in soybean., This book presents information from authentic and highly regarded sources in plant biotechnology. It provides a comprehensive review of plant transformation in soybean. The book discusses protocol inefficiencies, type and conditions of explants, culture conditions, complexity in transformation processes, host-specificity, and Agrobacterium-genotype interactions. The book provides insights promoting soybean use in the manufacturing of health promoting supplements, feed production, food products and biodiesel production. It helps the reader in achieving successful soybean transformation and outlining the possibilities that could help reduce recalcitrance in soybean., This book provides a thorough explanation of biotechnology in soybean and other leguminous plants offering practical solutions to aid in genetic improvements. It demonstrates improvement techniques across a wide range of crop physiology and plant transformation laboratories.
