Autoluminescent Plants
Figure 3
DNA gel blot analysis confirms integration of aadA and the lux operon in the LUX-rps12/TrnV (A) LUX-trnI/trnA (B) plastid genomes.
Total cellular DNA isolated from transplastomic leaves was digested with the SmaI restriction endonuclease and probed with a fragment of the vector plastid-targeting region. Shown are also: the rps12 and trnV plastid genes; the trnI and trnA plastid genes; aadA, the selective spectinomycin resistance gene; the lux genes. The drawing is not to scale.
