Sorghum can be difficult to transform due to explant availability, phenolic compound accumulation, and genotype dependence. This protocol has been successfully demonstrated in 13 sorghum genotypes. Seedling leaf whorl is transformed via Agrobacterium with the support of morphogenic transcription factors. 

Speakers will guide attendees through this protocol step-by-step, including practical tips and pitfalls to avoid. The “why” behind each step will also be discussed. Attendees are expected to read the protocol before the event and come prepared with questions. Expect lots of discussion in this interactive webinar!
