Abstract
Bacteria of the species Agrobacterium are applied to particles which are used in a typical particle gun in a manner which retains their viability after the dry-down process involved in microparticle bombardment. When plant materials are bombarded with particles coated with the bacteria, high rates of stable transformation are achieved.
