Site-specific recombination for genetic engineering in plants

Site-specific recombination has been developed into a genetic engineering tool for higher eukaryotes. The manipulation of newly introduced DNA is now possible in the course of genetic transformation procedures, thus making the process more predictable and reliable. Also, a wide variety of chromosoma...

Description
Summary:Site-specific recombination has been developed into a genetic engineering tool for higher eukaryotes. The manipulation of newly introduced DNA is now possible in the course of genetic transformation procedures, thus making the process more predictable and reliable. Also, a wide variety of chromosomal rearrangements using site-specific recombination have been documented both in metazoan and plant species. Applying such methods to plants opens new avenues for large-scale chromosome engineering in the future.
