Abstract
The present invention is directed to a vector for transferring heterologous DNA into a plant cell. The vector is based on the bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) vector designed for the construction of genomic libraries with large DNA inserts, and the binary (BIN) vector designed for Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation. The BIBAC vector according to the subject invention allows the construction of plant genomic libraries with large DNA inserts that can be directly introduced into plants by transformation mediated by Agrobacterium.
