Abstract
This invention relates to a method for genetically engineering coniferous plants. In particular, this invention relates to a particle-mediated gene transfer method for producing and developing transgenic somatic embryos for plants of the genus Pinus and Pinus interspecies hybrids. This method is well suited for producing transgenic clonal planting stock useful for reforestation.
