Removal of antibiotic resistance genes from transgenic tobacco plastids.

Nature biotechnology - 1 Nov 2000

Iamtham S, Day A

Abstract excerpt

Removal of antibiotic resistance genes from genetically modified (GM) crops removes the risk of their transfer to the environment or gut microbes. Integration of foreign genes into plastid DNA enhances containment in crops that inherit their plastids maternally. Efficient plastid transformation requires the aadA marker gene, which confers resistance to the antibiotics spectinomycin and streptomycin. We have...
