N2 - The genetic transformation of most agriculturally important plant species is now possible. However, the application of this technology to rational plant-improvement is currently limited by a shortage of cloned genes for important traits. Recent technological advances in plant-gene isolation and identification, such as map-based cloning, insertional mutagenesis and large-scale cDNA sequencing, have accelerated the rate of gene isolation and significantly expanded the opportunities for genetic engineering of crop plants.
