Particle bombardment or biolistic transformation is an efficient, versatile method. This method does not need any vector for the gene transfer and is not dependent on the cell type, species, and genotype. The success of any transformation technique depends on the starting experimental materials or the explants. Here, we describe the factors that have influenced the choice of explants in biolistic transformation. Many general factors in the selection of explants in the development of transgenic plants are presented here. Therefore, this chapter provides extensive guidelines regarding the choice of explants for researchers working on various plant genetic transformation techniques.
