Abstract excerpt
Tobacco plants have been developed which constitutively express high levels of the biotin-binding proteins, avidin and streptavidin. These plants were phenotypically normal and produced fertile pollen and seeds. The transgene was expressed and its product located in the vacuoles of most cell types in the plants. Targeting was achieved by use of N-terminal vacuolar targeting sequences derived from potato...
