Zusammenfassung:Methods to increase transformation frequency in plants when using Agrobacterium as the transformant are described. The methods include exposing plant cells to Agrobacterium cells in a liquid medium containing a surfactant. Some methods include exposing the plant cells to continuous light after exposure to the Agrobacterium cells. Examples of plants useful with these methods include maize plants (e.g., immature maize embryos).
