This paper describes two by A. tumefaciens to introduce target genes into Populus alba X Populus glandulosa and comparatively analyzed two transgenetic systems. We summarized the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods. However, the dark-induced method had higher transformation efficiency and light-induced method has shorter period. So, a combination of the two methods can help maximize on efficiency and high levels of gene expression in transgenic plants. This study provides a useful foundation for further research toward the development of 84K Poplar.
