Abstract

Disclosed are novel DNA constructs for selecting plastid transformants in higher plants. Also disclosed are editing based selectable marker genes which require editing at the transcriptional level for expression of the selectable marker gene. Vectors including such edited upstream sequences operably linked to slectable marker genes facilitate the isolation of plastid, rather than nuclear transformants in higher plants.
