Simple method for transformation and gene editing in medicinal plants

Xuesong Cao et al. J Integr Plant Biol. 2024 Jan.

Abstract

A sample delivery method, modified from cut-dip-budding, uses explants with robust shoot regeneration ability, enabling transformation and gene editing in medicinal plants, bypassing tissue culture and hairy root formation. This method has potential for applications across a wide range of plant species.

Keywords: gene editing; medicinal plants; tissue culture-free transformation.
