Abstract
The present invention provides a method to increase the susceptibility of cultured Zea mays cells to stable transformation with recombinant DNA via electroporation, by pretreating the Zea mays cells with certain pectin-degrading enzymes, so that the cells retain their ability to regenerate fertile, transgenic Zea mays plants containing the DNA which is also heritable.
