Genetically modified crops (GMCs‚ GM crops‚ or biotech crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques. In most cases the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species. Examples include resistance to certain pests‚ diseases‚ or environmental conditions‚ or resistance to chemical treatments (e.g. resistance to a herbicide)‚ or the production of a certain nutrient or pharmaceutical agent.

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is routinely used for the transformation of many monocots‚ including rice. Several reports are available on the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of japonica and indica rice cultivars. However‚ the efficiency with which the indica rice cultivars are transformed is very low. Different explant types are
