TL;DR: A highly efficient Agrobacterium-mediated stable transformation system using axillary shoots as the initial explant is reported and evidence suggesting that alternative and/or aberrant splicing may serve to influence the ability of the plant to produce functional UGT76G1 transcripts, and possibly produce enzyme variants within the plant is found.
