title: Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of bread and durum wheat using freshly isolated immature embryos.
abstract: Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of wheat is becoming a viable alternative to the more established biolistic protocols. It offers advantages in terms of simple, low-copy-number integrations and can be applied with similar efficiencies to specific durum wheat and spring and winter bread wheat types varieties.
