Transformation of Tobacco, Tomato, Potato, and Arabidopsis thaliana Using a Binary Ti Vector System

G An et al. Plant Physiol. 1986 May.

Abstract

Using a binary tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid vector system, several plant species were transformed with a kanamycin resistance marker (neomycin phosphotransferase gene). Four Nicotiana species, seven tomato cultivars, two potato cultivars, and Arabidopsis thaliana were transformed by the binary vector transformation method. In this method, various plant organ pieces were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens cells carrying the binary vector, pGA472, and a helper Ti plasmid. We have also demonstrated that a wild type Ti plasmid can be used as a helper to obtain a transformed plant.
