Abstract

Methods of alient genetical material transfer in intact plants via pollination-fecundation process are reviewed based on data from scientific publications, own author's works in the field of genetic plant ingineering are included. It gives an opportunity to assume a possible mechanism for exogenous DNA penetration into plant ovary.
