Three methods are commonly used. Transformation with purified plasmid can be done with either electroporation or a simple freeze/thaw transformation method. Alternatively, a mobilizable plasmid can be placed into Agrobacteriumusing the triparental mating method. Here we present three detailed protocols for Agrobacteriumstrain construction using electroporation, the freeze/thaw method of transformation, and triparental mating UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/19roaQ8d2vcliIUkWpFdlISlqf3bhTh0A/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
