Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are essential mineral macronutrients critical for plant structure and function. Both contribute to processes ranging from cellular integrity to signal transduction. Since plants require these nutrients in high concentrations, replenishing them in soil often involves chemical fertilizers.

- * Various transformation systems such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, biolistics, protoplast methods, and nanoparticle techniques are discussed, each with their own challenges like efficiency, cell stability, and regeneration.
- * Recent advancements in these biotechnological methods are highlighted, focusing on improvements that enhance success rates in plant transformations and the introduction of new plant model systems benefiting from these developments.
Species in the genus Plantago have several unique traits that have led to them being adapted as model plants in various fields of study. However, the lack of a genetic manipulation system prevents in-depth investigation of gene function, limiting the versatility of this genus as a model. Here, a transformation protocol is presented for Plantago lanceolata, the most commonly studied Plantago species.
