Vectors for transforming plants with the use of agrobacteria which have
been modified so as to elevate the possibility of the recognition of the
border sequences of the vectors by vir proteins of the agrobacteria,
thereby lowering the possibility of the transfer of DNAs other than T-DNA
into plant chromosomes. More particularly, the above-vectors are those to
be used in transforming plants which have right and left border sequences
which can be recognized by the vir proteins of the agrobacteria, a T-DNA
sequence which is located between these border sequences and into which a
gene to be transferred into plants can be inserted, and a replication
origin enabling the replication of the vectors in bacteria, characterized
by having a plural number of left border sequences.
