POLYNUCLEOTIDE AND METHOD FOR SELECTIVELY EXPRESSING A PROTEIN IN A TARGET CELL OR TISSUE OF A PLANT

摘要

A method is disclosed for constructing a synthetic polynucleotide from which a protein is selectively expressible in a target cell of a plant, relative to another cell of the plant. The method comprises selecting a first codon of a parent polynucleotide for replacement with a synonymous codon which has a higher translational efficiency in the target cell than in said other cell, and replacing said first codon with said synonymous codon to form said synthetic polynucleotide.
