A method for producing transformed cotton plants. The method comprising providing cotton explants, incubating the cotton explant in the presence of a vector comprising a selectable marker to produce treated explants, growing the treated explants to produce callus and selecting transformed callus.

Transformation of cotton plants

A vector for transforming cotton. The vector comprising integration sequences for integrating into the genome of cotton plants, a promoter for promoting transcription in cotton plants, a DNA sequence encoding a selectable marker and a termination signal for terminating transcription in cotton plants.

A plasmid comprising a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase gene and promoter isolated from maize. The phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase gene encodes a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase isozyme involved in C.sub.4 photosynthesis and which is not expressed in seeds.
