Abstract

Today, cloning vectors that have been specifically designed to facilitate the fusion, overexpression or down-regulation of a variety of genes in plant cells are available from various sources. In most cases, their basic design allows the cloning of a single target gene, typically under a specific promoter, in parallel with the expression of selection and/or marker genes from the same vector. However, new and versatile systems now exist that expand the user's choice to a large number of promoters and terminators, and various autofluorescent tags confer the ability to express multiple genes from a single transformation vector.
