This resource provides a photographic tour of the process of creating a genetically modified plant, from initial seeds to a greenhouse of transgenic plants. Using tomato plants as an example, a stage-by-stage description of the plant transformation method is given, with photographs accompanying each stage. The resource is produced by the Partnership for Plant Genomics Education (PPGE) and is of interest to college and undergraduate students. The PPGE aims to develop educational programmes and materials concerning plant genomics and biotechnology for college students and teachers, and is funded by the University of California at Davis and the US National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education and the Plant Genome Venture Fund. The tour is written by Brad Hall of the University of California, Davis, with photographs provided by the author and by Calgene, Inc., Davis, CA, and the University of California Davis Biotechnology Program, Meyer Hall.
