Abstract excerpt
The plant genome responds to the bacteriophage P1-derived loxP-Cre site-specific recombination system. Recombination took place at loxP sites stably integrated in the tobacco genome, indicating that the Cre recombinase protein, expressed by a chimeric gene also stably resident in the genome, was able to enter the nucleus and to locate a specific 34 bp DNA sequence. An excisional recombination event was monitored...
