Abstract:
Plant transformation is an invaluable technique in plant genomics by which an extra foreign DNA sequence is introduced into a plant genome. Changing the plant genome is leading to owning new genetic characteristics. Model plant is a keystone in a study of the comprehensive plant phylum. Here, I describe an efficient method to transform the plant species Brachypodium distachyon which, due to its characters, is developing to be an important plant model.

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
