Efficient gene targeting in the moss Physcomitrella patens.

The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology - 1 Jun 1997

Schaefer D G, Zrÿd J P

Abstract excerpt

The moss Physcomitrella patens is used as a genetic model system to study plant development, taking advantage of the fact that the haploid gametophyte dominates in its life cycle. Transformation experiments designed to target three single-copy genomic loci were performed to determine the efficien...
