Genetic engineering in plants typically relies on vectors that can efficiently deliver foreign DNA into plant cells. Ti plasmid (from Agrobacterium tumefaciens) and Caulimoviruses are well-established plant viral vectors. Geminiviruses are also used as vectors for some plant gene transformations. SV40 is a virus that infects monkeys and is used as a vector in animal cell culture, not for plants.
