Aa. Shadenkov et al., VIRD2-INDEPENDENT BUT MOBA-DEPENDENT TRANSFER OF BROAD-HOST-RANGE PLASMID RSF1010 DNA FROM AGROBACTERIUM INTO PLANT-CELL NUCLEUS, Molecular biology, 30(2), 1996, pp. 272-275
A study was made of the efficiency of plant transformation with Agroba
cterium tumefaciens strains carrying a binary vectors composed of a Ti
plasmid (virD2(+) or virD(2-)) and the H22Kneo construct (oriT-mob-re
taining derivative of the broad-host-range plasmid RSF1010). The pH22K
neo DNA was shown to be efficiently transferred to the plant cell nucl
eus even in the absence of a functional VirD2.
