Abstract
Pea explant material is transformed by incubation with Agrobacterium cells carrying an exogenous DNA sequence. The pea explant is preferably obtained from the plumule of a pea seed, and transformed shoots are preferably induced directly in the explant material without passage through a callus phase. Whole transformed pea plants may be regenerated from the transformed shoots by rooting and subsequent planting in the soil. The exogenous DNA will be stably incorporated into the chromosomes of the regenerated pea plant which will be able to express gene(s) encoded by the DNA sequence.
