Article Synopsis
- A new technique called GiFT (genotype-independent fast transformation) has been developed for improving Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, specifically for soybean, allowing for efficient and rapid transformation regardless of the genotype.
- The method simplifies the process by using germinated seeds as explants, minimizing in vitro manipulation, and enabling direct soil transplanting, which leads to the establishment of healthy transgenic plants in about 35 days.
- GiFT is versatile, successfully applying both traditional binary vectors and CRISPR-Cas12a for genome editing, while enhancing operational efficiency and lowering costs associated with tissue culture in plant biotechnology.
