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 bombardme”
Genetic modification of lignin biosynthesis for improved biofuel production (2009, background): “The early reports on grass transformation were mainly based on particle bombardment (Conger et al. 1993; Denchev et al. 1997; Wang and Ge 2006).”
The Switchgrass Genome: Tools and Strategies (2011, background): “Genetic engineering research off ers an opportunity to generate unique genetic variation that is either absent or has very low heritability (Wang and Ge, 2006).”
Downregulation of Cinnamyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase (CAD) Leads to Improved Saccharification Efficiency in Switchgrass (2011, background): “Like many other monocot species, switchgrass is considered recalcitrant for genetic transformation [26].”
