Abstract
Non-vacuum gene guns such as HandyGun are fl exible tools for bombardment of targets of varying size.
Construction of HandyGun is simpler and cheaper than vacuum gene guns and will be described here. The
conditions for maximal transient transformation ef fi ciency of plant cells with plasmid DNA using HandyGun
will be provided.
