The importance of particle bombardment technology in agricultural biotechnology and its impact on basic studies in plant molecular biology is vividly illustrated by the fact that prior to its development only a few plants, primarily Solanaceous species, could be engineered using conventional gene transfer methods.
Microprojectile bombardment employs high-velocity metal particles to deliver biologically active DNA into plant cells.
