Abstract

Fertile transgenic Zea mays (corn) plants which stably express heterologous DNA which is heritable are provided along with a process for producing said plants. The preferred process comprises the microprojectile bombardment of friable embryogenic callus from the plant to be transformed. The process may be applicable to other graminaceous cereal plants which have not proven stably transformable by other techniques.
