A large-scale transformation procedure handling an adequate number of stable transformants with highly efficient positive-negative selection is a necessary prerequisite to successful gene targeting by homologous recombination, as the integration of a transgene by somatic homologous recombination in higher plants has been reported to be 10(-3) to 10(-5) compared with random integration by non-homologous end joining. We established an efficient and large-scale Agrobacterium-mediated rice transformation protocol that generated around 10(3) stable transformants routinely from 150 seeds and a strong positive-negative selection procedure that resulted in survivors at 10(-2) using the gene for diphtheria toxin A fragment as a negative marker. The established transformation procedure provides a basis for efficient gene targeting in rice.
