Kanamycin selection of transformed Arabidopsis
CSH Protocols
|April 10, 2012
Abstract:
INTRODUCTIONThe most commonly used markers for selection of transgenic Arabidopsis are resistance to the antibiotic kanamycin and to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium. Resistance to kanamycin is conferred by a bacterial gene encoding the enzyme neomycin phosphotransferase (NPT). In this protocol, kanamycin-resistant seedlings are selected on solid medium.

Overview
Transgenic Plants
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
