Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of bar in the Plastid Genome Confers Herbicide Resistance
TL;DR: Ex expression of a bacterial bar gene in tobacco plastids that confers field-level tolerance to Liberty, an herbicide containing PPT is reported, indicating that subcellular localization rather than the absolute amount of the enzyme is critical for direct selection of transgenic clones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of a chimeric uidA gene indicates that polycistronic mRNAs are efficiently translated in tobacco plastids
Jeffrey M. Staub,Pal Maliga +1 more
TL;DR: The encoded reporter gene product, beta-glucuronidase (GUS) accumulates to high levels in the transplastomic plants indicating that promoter-distal cistrons can be efficiently translated in plastids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relocation of the plastid rbcL gene to the nucleus yields functional ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase in tobacco chloroplasts.
Ivan Kanevski,Pal Maliga +1 more
TL;DR: It is reported that the nuclear rbcL functionally complements the defective plastids when the Rubisco large subunit is targeted to chloroplasts by a transit peptide, indicating that the evolutionary process that relocates functional plastid genes to the nucleus has not yet occurred in the case of the rBCL gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
RNA polymerase subunits encoded by the plastid rpo genes are not shared with the nucleus-encoded plastid enzyme
Germán Serino,Pal Maliga +1 more
TL;DR: Deletion of each of these genes yielded photosynthetically defective plants that lack PEP activity while maintaining transcription specificity from NEP promoters, and data indicate that no functional copy of rpoA, rpoB, rPoC1, or rpoC2 that could complement the deleted plastid rpo genes exists outside the plastids.
