Abstract
This invention relates to genetically transformed, non-tumorous plant cells. A modified Ti plasmid is created which contains a left T-DNA border, one or more desired genes, and a right T-DNA border. This region does not contain tumorigenic or phytohormone-altering genes. The Ti plasmid is inserted into plant cells, where the T-DNA region is transferred into the plant genome. The transformed plant cells may be regenerated into morphologically normal plants which will pass the desired gene(s) to their descendants.
