Genetic Transformation

    Genetic transformation in plants is a process of inserting foreign genes originating from plants, animals, bacteria or humans in certain plants with the aim of obtaining new types of plants that are superior to their parents (Dwiyani et al., 2016). Genetic transformation in plants can be done in vitro and in planta. In planta transformation is a method that does not use tissue culture in the gene insertion process in plants (Kalbande and Patil, 2016). Plant breeders who will carry out genetic transformation must have sample plants as transformation targets as well as the gene to be inserted (gene of interest) in the plant.      The process of genetic transformation in plants goes through several stages, namely: insertion of the transgene; integration of the transgene into the plant genome; and expression of transgenes integrated into the genome. At the transgene insertion stage, a method is needed on how the transgene can be inserted into plant cells. If the...
