Variety description

10 August 2026

This line is used under laboratory conditions as an elite commercial line for refining genetic engineering protocols. Scientists use it to improve Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer methods, as it belongs to the category of 'recalcitrant' objects, meaning it is difficult to manipulate.

Publications do not contain information on maturity group, morphological traits, or yield, as this line is not an agricultural variety intended for commercial sowing and crop production.
