Super binary vector system enhanced transformation frequency and expression level of polyhydroxyvalerate gene in oil palm immature embryo

The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of two transformation vectors: binary and super binary vector in the process of gene transfer and expression in oil palm tissues. Two transformation vectors, namely pFA2 (binary vector, ~24.4 kb) and pFA3 (super binary vector, ~39.4 kb) that contai...
