Current Status of Binary Vectors and Superbinary Vectors

A binary vector was invented soon after it had been elucidated that crown gall tumorigenesis was caused by genetic transformation of plant cells with a piece of DNA, T-DNA for transferred DNA, from a Ti plasmid (tumor-inducing plasmid) harbored by the soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens ([
