Abstract

Novel compositions and methods useful for genetic engineering of plant cells are provided. In particular, plastid constructs comprising recombining sites are provided. Such constructs find use in methods for site specific recombination in plant cell plastids. Plant cells and plants comprising the constructs described herein, as well as plant cells and plants produced by the methods of the present invention are of interest.
