transformability

[pb23]

Dear Netters,
After a recent Crown Gall meeting, and after spending about 6 months trying
to transform Landsberg erecta, and talking to others, I am curious to know
what genotypes/ecotypes are generally considered "easy" to transform and
which are considered "hard or impossible" to transform.  We changed over to
WS and find it easy with our vectors to transform, and someone else
suggested "RLD".  I would be happy to post a summary of the results of this
"survey".

Thanks,
