  • Title: New vectors and marker excision systems mark progress in engineering the plastid genome of higher plants.
    Author: Maliga P.
    Journal: Photochem Photobiol Sci; 2005 Dec; 4(12):971-6. PubMed ID: 16307109.
    Abstract:
    The transformation of the plastid genome, until recently restricted to tobacco, is now being extended to a rapidly growing list of crops. This perspective provides an overview of emerging trends of technology development in the field with a focus on vector design and marker excision systems. The new tools will facilitate engineering of the photosynthetic machinery and enable novel agricultural and industrial applications.
