Process for the incorporation of foreign dna into the genome of dicotyledonous plants

摘要

The invention relates to a process for the incorporation of foreign DNA into chromosomes of dicotyledonous plants by infecting the plants or incubating plant protoplasts with Agrobacterium bacteria, which contain one or more plasmids, wherein bacteria are used which contain at least one plasmid having the vir-region of a Ti (tumour inducing) plasmid but no T-region, and at least one other plasmid having a T-region with incorporated therein foreign DNA but no vir-region, as well as to a Agrobacterium bacteria wherein at least one plasmid which has the vir-region of a Ti (tumour inducing) plasmid but no T-region and at least one other plasmid which has a wild type T-region with incorporated in it foreign DNA but no vir-region.
