Research Abstract |
To aim at establishing a high-efficient homologous recombination system in higher plants, we investigated a relationship between occurrence of circularized T-DNA and transformation efficiency. A co-infection with a target construct and a Cre-expressing construct to Arabidopsis seedlings was found to be effective in the circularization of T-DNA and integration into chromosomes.
