Abstract
A method to select and identify transformed plant cells by expressing a chimeric gene encoding an aminoglycoside-6'-N-acetyltransferase in the plant cells in the presence of an aminoglycoside antibiotic.
Claims12
A chimeric selectable marker gene, which when introduced in a plant cell renders said plant cell resistant to kanamycin;
- said marker gene comprising the following operably-linked DNA regions:
- a) a DNA region comprising a plant-expressible promoter;
- b) a DNA region encoding a polypeptide with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- c) a DNA region comprising suitable 3' transcription regulation signals active in plant cells.
