Cell genetic engineering: Transmission genetics of plants

Abstract

Achievements of cell and genetic engineering that led to formation of a new genetics chapter— transmission genetics—have been described. Results have been analyzed and new opportunities in the field of transgenomic somatic hybrids and cybrid obtaining, production of transgenic plants with agronomic pharmaceutical application, development of transplastomic plants, and accumulation of recombinant proteins by using the transient expression of foreign genes in plants have been shown.
