METHOD FOR GENERATING SPLIT, NON-TRANSFERABLE GENES THAT ARE ABLE TO EXPRESS AN ACTIVE PROTEIN PRODUCT

摘要

A new type of transgene system is disclosed which allows efficient protein expression in a target host such as a plant, but avoids the undesirable result of the migration of the transgene into related host systems and/or to the environment via the pollen. The methods described herein may also be applied to the expression of virtually any protein of interest (e.g. a toxic protein) in eukaryotic (yeast, insect, mammalian cells, etc.) and prokaryotic (E. coli, etc.) organisms.
