GoldBio’s AGL-1 Agrobacterium strains are engineered for high-efficiency plant transformation, offering a stable C58 chromosomal backbone with a recA mutation that improves plasmid stability and supports reliable cloning, and T-DNA delivery.
Each version in the AGL-1 collection is optimized for specific transformation needs, whether maximizing efficiency, enabling specialized vector systems, or boosting transient and stable expression in challenging plant species.
AGL-1 Variants
-
AGL-1 (Electrocompetent & Chemically Competent Cells)
Core AGL-1 strains, ideal for gDNA/cDNA library construction and routine Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in both monocots and dicots. -
AGL-1 (pSoup)
Includes the pSoup helper plasmid required for replication of pGreen, pGS2, 62SK, and related binary vectors, perfect for labs using pGreen-based systems. -
AGL-1 (pSoup-P19)
Adds the p19 silencing suppressor, improving transcript stability and dramatically increasing transient expression, especially in dicots like Arabidopsis, tobacco, and potato. -
AGL-1 (pSuperAgro® v4) – Electrocompetent & Chemically Competent Cells
An advanced, licensed strain featuring AcdS and GabT activity to suppress ethylene and degrade GABA during co-cultivation. The result: significantly enhanced T-DNA transfer, higher transformation efficiency, and improved performance in tomato, grasses, and difficult species.
