  • Patent number: 6794190
    Abstract: The invention provides a high capacity binary shuttle vector having T-DNA region and Ri ori and capable to integrate a large genome fragment in it; a genomic library having the ability to transform a plant, especially monocotyledonous ones; a plant transformed with the high capacity binary shuttle vector; and a method of searching for a useful gene by use of the above vector. The present high capacity binary shuttle vector can introduce a large genome fragment of 10 kb or more, easily, efficiently and stably into a plant, especially monocotyledonous ones under those conditions in which the rearrangement or deletion of these genome fragments does not occur. The invention also provides some other vectors derived from the above Ri ori driven vectors, which can integrate circular genome library plasmids with a lox site, or which can efficiently transform plants with genes of arbitrary expression properties.
