As a model system for efficient analysis of plant gene function, Arabidopsis can easily be transformed by Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer. Among the various transformation methods developed during the past two decades, the vacuum infiltration transformation and the floral dip method are most widely used. Compared with conventional plant transformation methods that involve tissue culture and plant regeneration, vacuum infiltration and the floral dip method require minimal time and labor; furthermore, these two high-throughput transformation procedures can also be used in insertional mutagenesis, one of the most powerful tools for studying gene function. Here, we outline a detailed description with various fine-tuned steps for these two Agrobacterium-mediated floral transformation methods in Arabidopsis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D012231 Rhizobium A genus of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that activate PLANT ROOT NODULATION in leguminous plants. Members of this genus are nitrogen-fixing and common soil inhabitants.
D012639 Seeds The encapsulated embryos of flowering plants. They are used as is or for animal feed because of the high content of concentrated nutrients like starches, proteins, and fats. Rapeseed, cottonseed, and sunflower seed are also produced for the oils (fats) they yield.
