Markers for Chloroplast Transformation | Biotechnology

In this article we will discuss about the markers for chloroplast transformation. Generally, dominant antibiotic resistant genes are used in plastid transformation. Intro­duction of antibiotic resistant gene in the plastid genome facilitated the maintenance of high number of plastid genome copies in a cell. Chloroplast transformation invariably and unavoid­ably produces chimeric tissues, which requires identification of transplastomic cells in order [...]
