One-step generation of composite soybean plants with transgenic roots by Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation

Background Agrobacterium rhizogenes -mediated (ARM) transformation is a highly efficient technique for generating composite plants composed of transgenic roots and wild-type shoot, providing a powerful tool for studying root biology. The ARM transformation has been established in many plant species, including soybean. However, traditional transformation of soybean, transformation efficiency is low. Additionally, the hairy roots were induced in a...
