Abstract

The invention provides Agrobacterium strains capable of producing a cite-specific recombinase capable of effecting site-specific recombination of a first and a second recombination site in Agrobacterium strains, when present therein, comprising a structural DNA sequence encoding said recombinase and a DNA sequence capable of controlling expression in Agrobacterium strains. The invention also provides methods for using the strains to transform plant cells.
