Abstract

A major goal of plant biotechnology is to improve existing cultivars and to develop new and elite cultivars. Different
approaches for elimination of selectable marker genes have been developed over the last several years, and further improvements
are now underway. These techniques are in the process of being applied to many useful crop species. It seems that concerns
about uncontrolled spread of the transgene(s) in ecosystem will become irrelevant in the near future. Some of the new
approaches remain speculative but in the time to come, it is expected that many new useful genes will be discovered, in this
context, the focus would shift from frequency of transformation to the development of tailor-made transformation system.
