Description

Baker Ds Cre-lox

transformed with T-DNA lox-Dslox comprised of: CaMV 35S - lox (pairs of lox sites recombine site-specifically in presence of Cre transposase) - surA,B (chlorsulfuron resistance) interrupted by a Ds element, so that the exisiting line is chlorsulfuron susceptible; the Ds element contains CaMV 35S - bar (PptR gene, conferring phosphonothricin resistance), a lox site adjacent to a promoterless AAC (encoding gentamycin-3-N-acetyltransferase, conferring gentamycin resistance); the Dslox construct is in R orientation; supF from yeast; Nos-NptII (KanR gene conferring kanamycin resistance); combined phosphonothricin, chlorsulfuron selection after crosses to Ac line (CS8110) confirms transposition events; gentamycin selection after crosses to Cre line (CS8111) confirms lox-lox recombination with potential chromosomal rearrangements
