In-situ cellular-scale injection for alive plants by micro-bubble injector

Abstract

We have succeeded in local and in-situ injection of reagent into a single plant cell by using the cavitation phenomenon of micro-bubbles. Micro-bubbles were generated electrically by a novel device called “micro-bubble injector”. This novel technology provides minimally invasive processing and high accessibility compared to conventional injection techniques which enable to inject to the material which have been difficult to be injected for a long time. This technology contribute to the biological and medical researches developments.
