US scientists are using nanotechnology to penetrate plant cell walls and deliver a gene and a chemical triggers with great precision. The work could lead to a powerful new tool for targeted delivery into plant cells.
The research is highlighted in the May issue of Nature Nanotechnology. Kan Wang of Iowa State University and his colleagues point out that introducing a gene into a plant cell is possible but chemical activation usuall involves an imprecise …
