A chimeric Lhcb::Nia gene: an inducible counter selection system for mutants in the phytochrome signal transduction pathway.

Plant molecular biology - 1 Jan 1995

Heimer Y M, Brusslan J A, Kenigsbuch D, Tobin E M

Abstract excerpt

One approach towards understanding the transduction pathways of phytochromes is the selection of mutants impaired in various steps. We report here the construction of an inducible counter-selection system for such mutants employing the enzyme nitrate reductase. This enzyme can convert the benign substrate analogue chlorate to the toxic product chlorite, resulting in severe growth inhibition. An Arabidopsis...
