TRANSFORMATION STUDIES IN PEA – A REVIEW
1Indian Agricultural Research Institute,
PUSA, New Delhi- 110012, India.
ABSTRACT
Transformation is emerging as an important crop improvement tool. Crop breeding programs are
devised to accumulate alleles from within the gene pool and from cross-compatible wild species.
Transformation theoretically expands the sources of genes for plant improvement to all organisms,
far beyond the gene pool accessible via sexual hybridization. Advances in genetic engineering through
recombinant DNA technology and spatial and temporal targeted expression of genes facilitated transfer
of precise gene sequences. A key component of most functional genomics approaches is a highthroughput
transformation system useful for developing various gene identification strategies.
Transformation also offers strategies for over expressing or suppressing endogenous genes. Pea is an
important crop plant with well-defined genetics, and many pea genes have been isolated and studied
in other species. Thus, introducing new genes or manipulating endogenous gene expression via
transformation generates new phenotypic variation useful for investigating gene function and for
crop improvement. This review is an attempt to summarize the studies on regeneration and genetic
transformation in pea.
