AGL1 Agrobacterium Cells

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.

    product description

    AGL-1 (pSoup) 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.

    The presence of the pSoup helper plasmid is required for the replication of pGreen, 62SK, and pGs2 series plasmids, helping to enhance the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of dicotyledonous plants like Arabidopsis thaliana, tobacco, and potato, as well as monocotyledonous plants such as corn.

    Product Specifications Competent cell type: ElectroCompetent Species: A. tumefaciens Strain: AGL-1 (pSoup) Transformation efficiency: ≥2 x 108 cfu/µg pCAMBIA1391z DNA Blue/white screening: No

    The presence of the pSoup helper plasmid 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. These features help to enhance the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of dicotyledonous plants like Arabidopsis thaliana, tobacco, and potato, as well as monocotyledonous plants such as corn.

    product description

    GoldBio’s AGL-1 Agrobacterium chemically competent cells allow you to obtain high transformation efficiency in applications such as gDNA or cDNA library construction. Our AGL-1 strain harbors the C58 chromosomal backbone with an insertion mutation in its recA recombination gene. This mutation stabilizes recombinant plasmids. AGL-1 also has rifampicin and carbenicillin resistance genes in the genome useful for selection. A functional T-DNA binary system can be built using our AGL-1 strains as the T-DNA region has been deleted from the Ti plasmid pTiBO542 and instead it has a binary vector containing the missing T-region. The binary system makes possible to transfer genetic material into a host plant S genome. Therefore, our system is often used for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in mono and dicotyledonous species such as Arabidopsis thaliana, maize, and other plants.

    pSuperAgro v4 was designed to include AcdS and GabT activity, driven by a single lac promotor, which both suppresses ethylene evolution and degrades gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) during co-cultivation. The combined suppression of ethylene and reduction of GABA significantly increases T-DNA transfer and increases transient and stable transformation frequencies in both tomato and grass plants.
