The present invention provides a method for
plant genome modification, preferably for the
targeted modification of at least one genomic target sequence, for obtaining at least one modified
cell, wherein modification of a
cell is achieved by providing a
genome modification or editing
system together with at least one regeneration booster, or a combination of regeneration boosters, which is / are transiently active in the
cell and / or with at least one epigenetically regulating chemical. Preferably, the
effector molecules are introduced by means of particle bombardment. Furthermore, the modified
plant cell is regenerated to obtain a
plant, which inherits the modification to its progeny. In addition, methods, tools, constructs and strategies are provided to effectively modify the
genome of a
plant cell or at least one genomic
target site in a
plant cell, to obtain said modified cell and to regenerate a
plant tissue, organ, plant or seed from the modified cell. Finally, the present invention also relates to an
improved method of regenerating a
plant tissue, organ or a plant from a
single plant cell.
