Abstract
Many plants are recalcitrant to available plant transformation methods, which hinders the development of genetically modified plants. To address this problem, the present invention provides constructs comprising a WUSCHEL-like homeobox 2a (WOX2A) gene from maize operably connected to a promoter. Methods of using these constructs to induce somatic embryogenesis in the tissues from a cereal monocot plants and plants produced using these methods are also provided.
