  • OPTIMIZED T-DNA TRANSFER AND VECTORS THEREFOR
    Publication number: 20100229260
    Abstract: The present invention relates to T-DNA vectors and methods for obtaining transgenic eukaryotes using said vectors. The transgenic eukaryotes are characterized in that they contain the T-DNA but not the illegitimately transferred vector backbone sequence. This is achieved by modifying the T-DNA borders such that they are more efficiently nicked or such that they allow elimination of illegitimately transferred vector backbone sequences by means of recombination.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 19, 2010
    Publication date: September 9, 2010
    Applicant: CROPDESIGN N.V.
    Inventors: ANNA DEPICKER, VLADIMIR MIRONOV, FRANKY TERRAS, WILLEM BROEKAERT, SYLVIE DE BUCK, CHRIS DE WILDE
