Abstract
The present invention provides a method for transforming plants with foreign DNA by introducing foreign DNA into chloroplasts. The invention provides cassettes which introduce genetic elements into chloroplast of target plants. The plants are transformed with the desired phenotype such as herbicide resistance or of other properties. Transformed plants are also disclosed.
