  • Plant transformation method using plant growth inhibiting hormone
    Patent number: 10550399
    Abstract: This invention provides a method of plant transformation via Agrobacterium comprising inoculating and infecting a plant with an Agrobacterium carrying a foreign-gene-containing vector under application of a plant growth-inhibiting hormone. This invention also provides a method of plant transformation via Agrobacterium comprising transforming a plant with an Agrobacterium carrying a vector comprising a T-DNA region in which a foreign gene is contained but no selectable marker gene is contained.
    Type: Grant
