Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application is a continuation in part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07 / 508,045, filed Apr. 11, 1990, which is in turn a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07 / 467,983, filed Jan. 22, 1990, both of which are incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] This invention relates to fertile transgenic plants of the species Zea mays (oftentimes referred to herein as maize or corn). The invention further relates to producing fertile transgenic plants via particle bombardment and subsequent selection techniques. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Genetic engineering of plants, which entails the isolation and manipulation of genetic material (usually in the form of DNA or RNA) and the subsequent introduction of that genetic material into a plant or plant cells, offers considerable promise to modern agriculture and plant breeding. Increased crop food values, higher yields, feed value, reduced produc...
