摘　　要：Wheat （Triticum aestivum L.） is a major staple food crop worldwide. It is economically important because it can be grown in a wide range of climates and geographic regions, and it has made an enormous contribution to the increase in global food production over the past four decades （Dixon et al., 2009）. Wheat is produced on more than 18% of the arable land in the world, and is the most cultivated crop after maize and rice （FAOSTAT data, 2014）. Despite its global strategic significance, progress in genomic and genetic engineering research on wheat has lagged behind that on other major crops due to the difficulty of culturing tissues, and the complexity of its hexaploid genome. The first successful wheat trans- formation was achieved by particle bombardment （Vasil et al., 1992）. Since then additional transgenic wheat plants have been obtained by various transformation methods （Harwood, 2011）. Microprojectile bombardment is considered to be a promising method, since it is robust, versatile and relatively efficient in terms of gene delivery.Wheat （Triticum aestivum L.） is a major staple food crop worldwide.
