Description
Using cell suspensions to transform some grass species by particle bombardment has a number of disadvantages including increased somoclonal variation in liquid cell culture and poor performance due to polysaccharide production. The use of calli avoids these problems, but the manipulation of calli through numerous media changes is laborious and time-consuming. We investigated a possible mechanism to facilitate the use of calli in transformation by immobilising calli on mesh.
