  • Title: Geminivirus-based shuttle vectors capable of replication in Escherichia coli and monocotyledonous plant cells.
    Author: Kammann M, Matzeit V, Schmidt B, Schell J, Walden R, Gronenborn B.
    Journal: Gene; 1991 Aug 15; 104(2):247-52. PubMed ID: 1916295.
    Abstract:
    Shuttle vectors have been constructed that are able to replicate in either Escherichia coli or plant cells. They contain the ColE1 origin of replication and parts of the wheat dwarf virus genome, a geminivirus infecting a variety of species of monocotyledonous plants. Such plasmids are able to replicate in E. coli and wheat cells. The plasmids can be rescued in E. coli and show no changes during their passage through plant cells. Such an E. coli/plant cell shuttle vector system could be used for the amplification of foreign genes in plant cells, for studies on DNA rearrangement or the isolation of plant transposons.
