Dr. Carol Rhodes, a Sandoz research scientist, reports that the experiment involved the direct uptake of recombi- nant DNA into corn protoplasts and the subsequent growth of these protoplasts into plants. This is the first report of transformed corn plants being produced by this tech- nique. The long-term significance is the potential for the insertion of useful genes into a major world crop. Northrup King Seeds Ltd. predicts an exciting future in hybrid develop- ment as the results of this research begin to show in commercial seed produc- tion.0 KEN R.
