pYAC-GN, a Yeast Artificial Chromosome Vector Which Codes GUS and APH(3')II Reporter Genes for Plant Cells

 

Summary

 

    The vector pYAC-GN has been constructed in order to be able to introduce YAC clones into plant cells for functional analysis of large fragments of DNA. To facilitate the selection of plant cells which have taken up YACs, the pYAC-4 was modified by insertion of GUS and APH(3')II reporter genes under 35S promoter of CaMV into the Clal and Sail sites respectively. The polylinker contaning NotI, Clal and Sail unique restriction sites was also introduced into EcoRI site of SUP4.
