Boca Biolistics is pleased to announce that our founders have partnered with the Canadian Private Equity Firm, Clairvest Group Inc . Clairvest has invested $25 million to acquire an equity stake in the company. (bocabio.com)
Two methods have been developed for direct gene transfer into plant cells-electroporation and biolistics. (jrank.org)
A number of alternative techniques are available, such as chemical sensitization of cells, electroporation and biolistics. (bionity.com)
Alternative techniques like chemical sensitivation of cells, electroporation and biolistics can also be used. (thehealthboard.com)
Agrobacterium2
Researchers have been using biolistics in delivering the genome editing complex in wheat due to difficulties in Agrobacterium -mediated genetic transformation in the species. (isaaa.org)
Before Bayer CropScience (BCS), I worked for 11 years at Ciba-Geigy (now Syngenta) starting in 1986 where I developed transformation technologies in maize including using Agrobacterium , protoplasts , biolistics and other transformation methods, and managed the maize transformation patent portfolio.

Transformation2
The most common delivery method is biolistics based transformation but due to the high frequency of gene silencing linked with high copy transgenes and low edit rate in wheat, a large population of transgenic plants are needed for recovery of desired mutations. (isaaa.org)
Plasmid vectors designed for nuclear transformation containing the chloramphenicol resistance gene under the control of the CaMV p35S promoter as well as several putative endogenous promoters were used to test a variety of transformation techniques including biolistics, electroporation and agitation with silicon carbide whiskers.

Cells3
Biolistics are mainly utilised in plant cell transformations, where the cell wall is a major obstacle in DNA uptake by cells. (bionity.com)
Biolistics is a promising way to deliver genes to desired cells however, commercial biolistic apparatuses or "gene guns" cost upwards of $30,000. (societyforscience.org)
In the method known as biolistics, cells are hit with extremely high speed particles, usually tungsten or gold, which are coated with DNA that then essentially sticks to the cell. (allthescience.org)
Chemical1
b) Chemical method, Micro injection, Biolistics or Genegun method. (biopassionate.net)
Plant1
Biolistics refers to the bombardment of plant tissues with microprojectiles of tungsten coated with the DNA intended for transfer. (jrank.org)
Gene gun2
New DNA can be introduced to create GM plants with desired genetic traits, using either biolistics (gene-gun) or Agrobacterium transformation. (agrenew.com.au)
In 1987, just one year after the USDA established its policy, a team of Cornell researchers announced the successful use of what's become known as a "gene gun"-or, less colorfully, "biolistics"-in which bits of DNA are literally blasted into a plant cell, carried by high-velocity particles.
