Title - A method for the production of transgenic plants using apical shoot tips

Claim 1

A method for producing a transformed plant comprising,

1) isolating apical shoot tips from three day old seedlings;

2) chilling the isolated apical shoot tips for a sufficient period of time to slow the metabolic activity of cells and to accumulate the cells at a single stage of cell division or mitosis;

3) dissecting the apical shoot tips to expose meristematic cells;

4) introducing a transforming agent into the dissected apical shoot tips, wherein said transforming agent is a DNA molecule comprising a gene conferring a desired phenotypic trait to the plant; and

5) regenerating a transgenic plant from shoots which form on the meristematic cells.

Claim 19

A method for producing a transformed cotton plant comprising,

1) isolating apical shoot tips from three-day-old seedlings;
2) chilling the isolated apical shoot tips for a sufficient period of time to slow the metabolic activity of cells and to accumulate the cells at a single stage of cell division or mitosis;
3) dissecting the apical shoot tips to expose meristematic cells;
4) introducing a transforming agent into the dissected apical shoot tips, wherein said transforming agent is a DNA molecule comprising a gene conferring a desired phenotypic trait to the plant; and
5) regenerating a transgenic plant from shoots which form on the meristematic cells.

Claim 22

A transformed cotton plant produced by:

a) isolating aan apical shoot tip from a three day old cotton seedling;
b) chilling the isolated apical shoot tip for a sufficient period of time to slow the metabolic activity of cells and to accumulate the cells at a single stage of cell division or mitosis;
c) dissecting the apical shoot tip to expose meristematic cells;
d) exposing the dissected meristematic cells to a recombinant Agrobacterium comprising a gene conferring a desired phenotypic trait to a plant; and
e) regenerating a transgenic cotton plant from the shoot which form from the meristematic cells.

Claim 25

A method for producing a transformed cotton plant as is herein described in the detailed description.

c) dissecting the apical shoot tips to expose meristematic cells;
d) introducing a transforming agent into the dissected apical shoot tips, wherein said transforming agent is a DNA molecule comprising a gene conferring a desired phenotypic trait to the plant; and
e) regenerating a transgenic plant from shoots which form on the meristematic cells.

Claim 7

A method for producing a transformed cotton plant comprising,

a) isolating apical shoot tips from three-day-old seedlings;
b) chilling the isolated apical shoot tips for a sufficient period of time to slow the metabolic activity of cells and to accumulate the cells at a single stage of cell division or mitosis;
c) dissecting the apical shoot tips to expose meristematic cells;
