“…Three months after cultivation, the transformed orchids generated leaves and roots ( Figures 7D-7F). Successful Agrobacterium-mediated gene transformation into Dendrobium orchids has been infrequently reported (Men et al, 2003;Atichart et al, 2007;Phlaetita et al, 2015). The efficiency of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation depends upon several factors, such as the type of explants, strain and concentration of bacterial cells, type of inoculation medium, incubation and cocultivation time, the Agrobacterium-eliminating agent, and the method used to screen and regenerate the transgenic plants.…”
