Advances of Genetic Transformation of Turf Grass

The advances of techniques of plant regeneration and genetic transformation were reviewed in this paper. Plant regeneration system of the species of genus Lolium, Poa, Zoysia, Agrostis and Festuca were established by means of solid medium culture,suspension culture,and protoplast suspension culture. Based upon the established regeneration systems,the genetic transformation system of those species were also established by means of silicon carbide fibre,PEG,electroporation and microprojectile bombardment methods.
