A process for the incorporation of foreign DNA into the genome of dicotyledonous plants.

摘要

A process is disclosed for the incorporation of foreign DNA into the genome of dicotyledonous plants comprising infecting these plants or incubating dicotyledonous plant protoplasts with bacteria suitable or made suitable for that purpose, which are provided with one or more tumour-inducing plasmids or derivatives therefrom, originally originating from Agrobacterium, or from bacteria which contain the T-DNA originating from the above-meant plasmids, and/or the virulence genes originating from the above-mentioned plasmids, incorporated elsewhere in the bacterial DNA.
