Barton and Chilton method
Binary Vector System (BVS)

The Barton and Chilton method is a method for producing genetically engineered plant cells using a disarmed Ti plasmid. Regenerated fertile plants can be recovered from plants cells transformed with T-DNA delivered by Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Relevant publications:
  • Chilton, M.-D. 1983. Scientific American 248:50-59. A vector for introducing new genes into plants.
Relevant issued patent:

The Binary Vector System (BVS) is one of the simplest and most reliable vector systems for Agrobacterium transformation of dicotyledonous plants. Use of BVS offers the advantage of direct cloning in E. coli, with vectors carrying multiple cloning sites, markers for direct screening of insertions, and expression cassettes for the transgene.
