silicon carbide whisker

[C. S. Prakash]

I do not know about the patent, but I am positive that the first report of
use of silicon-carbide whisker mediated transformation was by Dr. Andrew
Cockburn of USDA/ARS who transformed mosquito eggs initially and then many
plants. Group led by Dr. Martin Wilson of ICI Seeds first reported the
development of fertile transgenic plants (corn) using this approach in
1994.
