Genetic transformation in plants using site-specific recombination and wide hybridization

摘要

The methods of the invention provide a means for targeting the insertion of a nucleotide sequence of interest to a specific chromosomal site within the genome of a plant cell. The invention provides a unique application of wide hybridization and site-specific recombination to bring together and recombine well defined chromosomal fragments. The invention provides novel methods to generate transgenic plant lines and new hybrid plant varieties.
