Innovative Vacuum and Electroporation Method: Benefits for Plant and Animal Transformations
The new Vacuum and Electroporation Method, developed by the National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences, Japan, offers significant advantages in plant and animal transformations. This technique eliminates the need for tissue culture and requires no specialized skills, resulting in a substantial reduction in labor. Mature seeds serve as starting materials, allowing for quick generation of transformed plants. In addition, the method is efficient and low-cost, with no need for complex procedures like microinjection for animal transformations. Pending patents highlight its innovative nature.
