The Biology and Agronomy of Switchgrass for Biofuels (2005, background): “The biotechnological studies led to genetic transformations of switchgrass cells in callus or suspension (Somleva et al., 2002) and regeneration of transgenic plants from tissue cultures (Gupta and Conger, 1999).”
Switchgrass Breeding, Genetics, and Genomics (2012, background): “Agrobacteriummediated transformation tends to result in lower copy number and fewer genomic rearrangements than particle bombardment [82–84].”
Genetic modification of lignin biosynthesis for improved biofuel production (2009, methodology): “After extensive studies, the Agrobacterium method has been extended to various monocotyledonous (monocot) plants including some feedstock species such as maize and switchgrass (Ishida et al. 1996; Somleva et al. 2002).”
Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation of Switchgrass and Inheritance of the Transgenes (2009, background): “the opportunity to generate unique genetic variations; however, compared with major crops, efforts in developing transformation systems in switchgrass have been very limited [5, 6]. To date, there have been only three reports on stable transformation of switchgrass, one based on particle bombardment”
Factors influencing Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of monocotyledonous species (2007, background): “Agrobacterium-mediated transformation has even been extended to some liliaceous ornamental plants (Suzuki et al., 2001; 2002) and forage or turf grasses (Yu et al., 2000; Somleva et al., 2002; Bettany et al., 2003).”

The Switchgrass Genome: Tools and Strategies (2011, methodology): “Most of the work focused on the use of Agrobacterium infection for transformation, because this method tends to results in lower copy number and fewer rearrangements than the biolistic procedure (Dai et al., 2001; Hu et al., 2003; Somleva et al., 2002).”
Genetic improvement of C4 grasses as cellulosic biofuel feedstocks (2009, background): “High transformation efficiency protocols for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation need to be developed for Miscanthus to enable the effective employment of promising genes for crop improvement in further plant generations.”
