Kanamycin in Cereal Biotechnology: A Screening or a Selectable Marker?

Kanamycin in Cereal Biotechnology: A Screening or a Selectable Marker?

Blog Article

Kanamycin is a widely used selection agent in dicot-plant genetic transformation systems.In monocots, however, it does not seem to be effective as it has no or minimal effect on the normal growth here of non-transformed plants.Kanamycin was previously demonstrated to bleach the pigments of vibrating table for chocolate the non-transgenic plants.This may yield the idea that kanamycin can be used as an effective screening marker rather than a selectable marker in monocots.
