Ziel

A selection system is proposed for plant transformation that is exclusively based on genetic information already present in the host plant and not requiring anti-biotic resistance genes. Driving force for this approach is the public concern about a potential spread of antibiotic resistance genes in soil and intestinal bacteria possibly accentuated by the agricultural use of transgenic crops. The projects based upon truncated tubules lacking the binding site for carbonate herbicides. The expression of this truncated tubule is driven by the homologous tubule pro-motor within a DNA fragment devoid from exogenous sequences (minimal expression unit). The suitability of this selection system is demonstrated for rice as a model system for Graining crops
