Plant transformation is a staple of contemporary biotechnology, providing the capacity for the introduction of new genes into plant genomes. This session will discuss conventional and state-of-the-art transformation techniques, such as Agrobacterium-mediated delivery and biolistic methods. Participants will discover the use of selectable markers and reporter genes to detect successful transformations. The session emphasizes regeneration of transformed plants using tissue culture. Researchers will present applications in enhancing crop yield, stress tolerance, and nutritional quality. Case studies will show how transformation has yielded transgenic plants of international significance. Biosafety and regulatory aspects pertaining to genetically modified organisms will also be covered in the session. Participants will learn about problem areas like low transformation efficiency and tissue-specific barriers. Sophisticated molecular tools that enhance transformation accuracy will also be presented. This session brings basic molecular biology together with practical applications in agriculture, emphasizing plant transformation as an important technique for research and biotechnology.
Welcome to Plant Biology Conference 2026, where global researchers, academicians, and ecologists unite to share advancements in plant genetics, physiology, biotechnology, ecology, and sustainable agriculture and conservation practices.
