    Successful efforts describing in vitro culturing, regeneration, and transformation of grain sorghum were reported, using particle bombardment, as early as 1993, and with
    Agrobacterium tumefaciens
    in 2000. Reported transformation efficiencies via
    Agrobacterium
    routinely range from 1 to 2%. Recently, such efficiencies via
    Agrobacterium
    in several plant species were improved with the use of heat and centrifugation treatments of explants prior to infection. Here, we describe the successful use of heat pretreatment of immature embryos (IEs) prior to
    Agrobacterium
    inoculation to increase routine transformation frequencies of a single genotype, P898012, to greater than 7%. This reproducible frequency was calculated as numbers of independently transformed IEs, confirmed by
    PCR
    , western, and
    DNA
    hybridization analysis, that produced fertile transgenic plants, divided by total numbers of infected IEs.
