AGL-1 (pSoup-P19) electrocompetent Agrobacterium cells are a highly efficient system for genetic transformation in various plant species. This strain is derived from the C58 RecA-type Agrobacterium strain and carries the rifampicin, carbenicillin, and streptomycin resistance genes for selection purposes. The Ti plasmid pTiBo542DT-DNA used in this system has a deleted T-DNA region, and instead contains a binary vector that restores the T-DNA binary system function.
