This work extends the range of species, cultivars and tissues that can be used for efficient transformation and is a beautiful example of what can be accomplished by combining basic research, technical expertise, and knowledge of practical problems
facing mainstream applications.
These projects worked to target specific concerns
facing the Bitcoin community, where Monero built a system for private transactions and Ethereum took smart contracts
mainstream to allow for the creation of more expansive DApps (Decentralized
Applications) on top of their blockchain.
