1.In this method, transformation of female gametes is accomplished by simply dipping developing
Arabidopsis inflorescences for a few seconds into a 5% sucrose solution containing 0.01-0.05% (vol/vol)Silwet L-77 and resuspended Agrobacterium cells carrying the genes to be transferred. Treated plants are allowed to set seed which are then plated on a selective medium to screen for transformants.

2.In Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), dormancy can be released by exposing imbibed seeds to low temperatures (i.e. stratification) or by an extended period of dry seed storage (i.e. after ripening).
