The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for delivering a polynucleotide from the exterior surface of a plant or plant part into the interior of a plant cell. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to compositions comprising at least one polynucleotide and at least one agent that is able to disrupt at least one barrier of the plant or plant part.

Compositions and methods for delivery of a polynucleotide into a plant

A method is provided for transformingplants to express DNA sequences of interest from the plant cell plastid. The method allows the transformation ofplant tissue with heterologous DNA constructs. Such DNA constructs comprise, in the 5' to 3&#x2032; direction of transcription, a promoter region functional in a plant plastid and a DNA sequence of interest. The invention further provides forcells in which the plastids contain heterologous DNA constructs.

Plastid transformation of Brassica

The present invention is directed to the modification of reserve polysaccharides in plants. Specifically, it has been found that host plants can be successfully transformed with a nucleic acid sequence capable of expressing a chimeric reserve polysaccharide modification enzyme gene sequence which will synthesize novel reserve polysaccharides in plants or convert the transformed plant's endogenous starch reserves to novel starch degradation products.

Glycogen biosynthetic enzymes in plants

A method is provided for transforming plants to express DNA sequences of interest from the plant cell plastid. The method allows the transformation of plant tissue with heterologous DNA constructs. Such DNA constructs comprise, in the 5&prime; to 3&prime; direction of transcription, a promoter region functional in a plant plastid and a DNA sequence of interest. The invention further provides for cells in which the plastids contain heterologous DNA constructs.

Methods for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and regeneration of strawberry plants are disclosed. Substitution of glucose or fructose for sucrose in various media preparations results in improved transformation efficiencies.
