Transformation of Mecardonia (Plantaginaceae) with wild-type Agrobacterium rhizogenes efficiently improves compact growth, branching and flower related ornamental traits

Mecardonia constitutes an emergent crop in the floriculture market. In order to develop plants with improved compact growth by molecular breeding, we transformed Mecardonia cv. ‘Guarani Amarilla INTA’ using a wild-type strain of Agrobacterium rhizogenes. An advantage of using this approach is that g...
