Transformation of Chenopodium

[Carl Johnson]

Dear Everyone,
	We would like to transform Chenopodium rubrum using
Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (or another method?). But we do not
know if Chenopodium is easy to culture in vitro and regenerate from the
cultured tissues and if it is able to be transformed by Agrobacterium
tumefaciens. Have any of you developed an effective method for
transformation of Chenopodium that you would be willing to share?
	Thank you!
