title: In planta transformation of kenaf plants (Hibiscus cannabinus var. aokawa No. 3) by Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
abstract: Kenaf was transformed by inoculation of Agrobacterium tumefaciens onto the meristems of young plants in pots. The transformation was demonstrated by three lines of evidence: a phenotypic inheritance from T(0) to T(1) plants, detection of the transgene in both T(0) and T(1) plants, and rescue of plasmids composed of T-DNA of the binary vector and flanking plant genomic DNA from T(1) plants.
