    The authors prove that the minimal possible cardinality for a generating set of the semigroup of all transformations of a finite set of cardinality at least three that leave a nontrivial uniform partition invariant equals four. For two other semigroups of all transformations which preserve (in a certain sense) the equivalence relation determined by a uniform partition as above it is shown that the minimal possible cardinality for a generating set is three.
