Agroinfection of bipartite geminiviruses is routinely done by mixing two Agrobacterium strains that independently harbor partial tandem repeats of DNA A and DNA B. We report here an improved agroinfection method for bipartite geminiviruses that utilizes one strain of Agrobacterium that harbors DNA A and DNA B partial tandem repeats on two compatible replicons. A cointegrate vector, pGV2260::pGV1.3A, with the partial tandem repeat of Mungbean yellow mosaic virus-Vi (MYMV-Vi) DNA A and a binary vector, pGA1.9B, with the partial tandem repeat of MYMV-Vi DNA B gave an agroinfection efficiency of 24% when harbored in two Agrobacterium strains and an efficiency of 61% when harbored in one Agrobacterium strain. A combination of binary vectors, pGA1.9A with MYMV-Vi DNA A partial tandem repeat and pGA1.9B with DNA B partial tandem repeat, gave an agroinfection efficiency of 74% when harbored in two strains. But pGA1.9A and pPZP1.9B (a partial tandem repeat of DNA B), when present in the same Agrobacterium strain, gave 100% agroinfection. Accumulation of viral DNA was shown by Southern blotting. The single-strain method using two compatible replicons consistently gave 100% agroinfection efficiency.
