Morphogenic gene-based transformation of a maize leaf segment. Left: green fluorescent calli on leaf segments from maize seedlings transformed with expression cassettes including Wus2 and Bbm. Middle, right: after excision of Wus2 and Bbm, calli grow and readily regenerate into leaf-derived T0 plants (right). (Figure courtesy of Ning Wang.)
