Optimization of particle bombardment parameters for DNA delivery into the male flowers of banana
The possibility of increasing the efficiency of banana transformation was investigated by particle bombardment of the male flowers of banana plants for constitutive expression of gfp gene. The effects of particle bombardment parameters, such as acceleration pressure, bombardment distance, chamber va...

The possibility of increasing the efficiency of banana transformation was investigated by particle bombardment of the male flowers of banana plants for constitutive expression of gfp gene. The effects of particle bombardment parameters, such as acceleration pressure, bombardment distance, chamber vacuum pressure, gold microcarrier size, gold quantity, DNA quantity, number of bombardments and pre-culture were examined. Single cauliflower-like bodies (CLBs) clusters, induced from meristemic parts of Musa sapientum cv.
