PROCESSES AND VECTORS FOR PRODUCING TRANSGENIC PLANTS

摘要

A process for producing transgenic plants or plant cells capable of expressi ng a coding sequence of interest under transcriptional and translational contro l of host nuclear transcriptional and translational elements is described by introducing into the nuclear genome of host plants or plant cells a vector comprising said coding sequence of interest which is devoid of (a) an upstre am element of initiation of transcription functional in the host plants or plan t cells and operably linked to said coding sequence of interest and required f or its transcription; (b) an upstream element of initiation of translation functional in the host plants or plant cells and operably linked to said coding sequence of interest; and subsequently selecting plant cells or plant s expressing said coding sequence of interest.
