GV3101 (pSoup) Agrobacterium Chemically Competent Cells

GoldBio’s GV3101 competent Agrobacterium cells are a highly efficient tool for genetic transformation of dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plant species, such as Arabidopsis thaliana, tobacco, potato, and corn. These cells carry the nopaline-type Ti plasmid pMP90 (pTiC58DT-DNA) that contains the vir genes required for the transfer and integration of T-DNA into the plant genome. Additionally, the cells are resistant to rifampicin, gentamicin, and tetracycline, which allows for selection of transformed cells.The pSoup plasmid carried by the cells is required for the replication of pGreen, 62SK, and pGs2 series plasmids. The p19 protein is derived from tomato bush dwarf virus and further improves the stability of heterologous gene transcripts by inhibiting RNA silencing of foreign genes. These combined properties make GV3101 competent Agrobacterium cells an ideal choice for cDNA or gDNA library construction and the generation of transgenic plants with desirable traits.Kit ComponentsCompetent Cells1 x 12 mL Recovery Media1 x 25 µl Control Plasmid (pCAMBIA1391z Control, 10 ng/µl)
