ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods for producing transgenic plants based on an optimized transfer of DNA fromAgrobacteriumto plant cells, and/or on an optimized integration of the transferred DNAs into plant cell genomes. It also providesAgrobacterium-transformation vectors that can be used to limit or eliminate the transfer of undesirable DNA. The present invention can be applied to essentially any species of plants, including many recalcitrant plant species.
