“…Meanwhile, surfactants can reduce the surface tension of target organs and act as attractants to increase the penetration of bacteria into plant tissues ( Curtis and Nam, 2001 ). Studies of floral dip transformation has been reported for Arabidopsis thaliana ( Bent, 2006 , Clough and Bent, 1998 , Narusaka et al, 2010 , Zhang et al, 2006 ), Raphanus sativus ( Curtis and Nam, 2001 ), Scherenkiella parvula ( Wang et al, 2019 ), Amaranthus caudatus L. ( Yaroshko et al, 2018 ) and Zea mays ( Guiqin et al, 2012 ). However, the transformation efficiency was<5%.…”
