Transient expression of the beta-glucuronidase gene in tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana by bombardment-mediated transformation. 
Particle bombardment has proved to be useful for the transformation of plants.  We have previously reported successful transient expression of the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene in cultured plant cells and tissues and the stable transformation of various plants using a pneumatic particle gun.  In this chapter, we describe transient expression of the GUS gene in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves and roots using the pneumatic particle gun.
