Re: [DIYbio] Re: Genomic integration of DNA

> Because of the flower dip method, I assume plant pollen (male gametophytes) can be transformed too by Agrobacterium??

In Arabidopsis only the ovules are transformed by Agro [1] but in
other species there have been reports of pollen being transformed [2],
although it was done with in-vitro culture of haploid pollen which was
then converted to diploid via colchicine treatment (dihaploid
induction).
