plant transformation

Biography:

  • Sinica’s Transgenic Plant Core Lab, one of its core facilities. 
  • Here we provide Agrobacterium-mediated transformation services for four model plants: Arabidopsis, tobacco, tomato and rice. 
  • We spent some eight years establishing consistent stable transformation protocols and have started to develop additional transformation systems such as transient expression with protoplasts and stable systems for Petunia, potato, Brachypodium distachyon etc. 
  • Over the past decade, I have given several lectures and a workshop on plant transformation at Academia Sinica.
