  • Plasmids for plant transformation and method for using the same
    Patent number: 7029908
    Abstract: The invention provides novel Ti-plasmid vectors for Agrobacterium-medicated plant cell transformation. Plamsids of the invention are constructed with a DNA sequence (ie., a negative selectable maker or a DNA sequence that inhibits DNA unwinding) flanking the T-DNA bordered gene of interest that reduces or eliminates the occurrence of transformants with vector read-through DNA sequence. The invention also provides methods of plant cell transformation utilizing these novel vectors.
