Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention provides methods of transiently expressing a nucleotide sequence in one or more cells of a soybean plant, comprising: a) abrading the surface of a soybean plant and/or intact part thereof; and either (b1) immersing the abraded plant and/or abraded intact part thereof in a solution comprising Agrobacterium cells and a surfactant, wherein the Agrobacterium cells comprise the nucleotide sequence to be transiently expressed; (b2) applying a vacuum to the immersed soybean plant and/or intact part thereof of step (b1); and (b3) releasing the vacuum, thereby introducing the solution into the plant and/or intact part thereof; or (c) contacting the abraded plant and/or abraded intact part thereof with a solution comprising Agrobacterium cells and a surfactant, wherein the Agrobacterium cells comprise the nucleotide sequence to be transiently expressed, whereby the nucleotide sequence is transiently expressed in one or more cells of the plant.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of transiently expressing one or more nucleotide sequences in one or more cells of an intact whole soybean plant, comprising: a) contacting the surface of an intact soybean leaf of a whole soybean plant with an abrasive; b) contacting the abraded soybean leaf and/or the whole soybean plant comprising the leaf with a solution comprising bacterial cells competent for nucleic acid transfer and a surfactant, wherein the bacterial cells comprise the on…
