Abstract
The present invention provides a method for transforming plants cells by introducing a heterologous gene into competent plant cells with a gene for tolerance to HPPD inhibitors as a selection marker wherein a step for bleaching the competent plant cells is carried out prior to transforming the cells by introducing a suitable amount of HPPD inhibitor into the cell culture medium. The invention also provides methods for preparing transgenic plants comprising a heterologous gene.
