aEroSol bEam injEction: How it workS Genetic/trait material is suspended in an aerosol solution. The aerosol solution is forced through a small nozzle, and then into a vacuum chamber in which the target plant material is staged. As this ‘stream’ of aerosolized mixture moves from an area of extremely high pressure to extremely low pressure, the velocity of the stream increases to supersonic speed. The mixture enters the target plant material with minimal cell disruption. StinE’S biotEcH accompliSHmEntS: Released the first biotech soybean.
