Greenhouse gains: Cucumbers get a genetic upgrade through innovative pollen tech

Genetic modification in horticultural crops, particularly within the Cucurbitaceae family, is often hindered by complex tissue culture requirements and environmental pressures such as climate change. Traditional transformation techniques, like Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer, frequently encounter barriers that limit their success in certain plant species.

Conducted by scientists at Pusan National University and published in Horticulture Research, this study unveils an advanced pollen magnetofection technique for developing genetically modified cucumbers.
