    pierce plant cell walls, and to allow specific genetic material to enter the plant (Gan and Carol, 1989). Gold or tungsten particles are coated with plasmid DNA; these particles are then transferred to large macro projectiles (Gan and Carol 1989). Using air pressure, the projectiles are fired at a petri dish containing plant tissue (Gan and Carol 1989). Through the use of a perforated plate only the smaller golden or tungsten particles enter the plant cells (Gan and Carol, 1989). This method of gene insertion
