Abstract
The present invention provides novel DNA constructs and methods for stably transforming the plastids of higher plants. The constructs described herein contain unique promoters that are transcribed by both nuclear encoded plastid polymerases and plastid encoded plastid polymerases. Use of the novel constructs of the invention facilitates transformation of a wider range of plant species and enables tissue specific expression of a transforming DNA in plastids of multicellular plants.
