Embodiment 1

[0055] This example illustrates the isolation and mutagenesis of the atDMCl promoter. Turning now to Figure 3, it shows the known restriction map of the Arabidopsis Ecotype Lansburg, and a cloning scheme for the isolation of the atDMC1 promoter region. The atDMCI promoter of the present invention can be generated using standard molecular genetic cloning methods and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) known in the art. Genomic DNA was isolated from Arabidopsis Ecotype Lansburg and PCR amplified using primers DMC1 (5'-gttaacaccgtttatatgagacaaaatcagctatg-3'; SEQ ID NO: 1) and DMC4 (5'-catceccacttgcgaattcactacc-3; SEQ ID NO: 2). The resulting product was then digested with restriction enzymes HindIII and EcoRI to generate a HindIII / EcoRI DNA fragment. Genomic DNA was then amplified by PCR with primers DMC3 (5'-ggtagtgaattcgcaagtggggatg-3'; SEQ ID NO: 3) and DMC2 (5'-tgctctagactcgctctaagactctctaagctaggaagagtgagag-3'; SEQ ID NO: 4), and the resulting product was amplified by EcoRI Dig...

Embodiment 2

[0057]This example illustrates the construction of a NOS blocking sequence between two FRT sites. Turning now to Figure 2, it shows a schematic diagram of the cloning method that can be used to obtain blocking sequences between FRT sites. The FRT site of this example contains a minimal FLP recognition sequence and additional flanking repeats to ensure efficient recombination. Lower case letters in the FRT sequence represent restriction enzyme specific sequences, while upper case letters represent FRT nucleotides. Plasmid pMUCBS (this is pMUC9 with pBS+(KS) polylinker; Jones, J. et al., 1985) was digested with BamHI and PstI restriction enzymes, and ligated to FRT-3 / FRT-4 shown in SEQ ID NO:5 sequence. The FRT-1, FRT-2, FRT-3 and FRT-4 sequences shown in the figure are synthetic oligonucleotides, which were synthesized using standard methods well known in the art. The resulting DNA was then digested with XhoI, filled in to remove overhangs, digested with PstI and ligated to ...

Embodiment 3

[0059] This example illustrates the construction of a DNA sequence containing the transiently expressed atDMCI promoter and Cre gene separated by a blocking sequence between the FRT site-specific recombination sequences. Turning now to Figure 5, it shows a schematic diagram of the cloning strategy used to construct the DNA sequence containing the Cre gene under the control of the atDMCI promoter. The plasmid generated in Example 1 was digested with HindIII / XbaI. Plasmid pED23 (Dale et al., 1990), which contains the 35S promoter operably linked to a Cre recombinase gene which is further operably linked at its 3' end to a NOS terminator, was also digested with HindIIII / XbaI. sequence. The two digests were then ligated, digested with XbaI, and filled in to remove overhangs. The block sequence between the FRT sites of Example 2 was also digested with SpeI, filled in to remove overhangs, and then digested with KpnI. The two resulting DNA fragments were ligated to generate the fo...

Abstract

A method for making a genetically modified plant expressing a transgene with a desirable trait that is transmitted poorly, the trait being lost in ensuring generations due to excision of the transgene. The method involves hybridizing a first plant regenerated from a plant cell that has been transfected with DNA sequences comprising a first gene whose expression results in an altered plant phenotype linked to a promoter, the cassette of gene and promoter flanked on each side by the first specific excision sequences, a second gene that encodes a recombinase specific for the first specific excision sequences linked to a transiently active promoter, the gene and promoter being separated by a blocking sequence flanked on each side by the a second specific excision sequences to a second plant regenerated from a second plant cell that has been transfected with DNA sequence comprising a third gene that encodes a recombinase

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The present invention relates to methods of site-specific recombination in plant cells, and DNA vectors that can be used in such methods. More particularly, the present invention relates to recombinant DNA vectors containing recombinase-specific sequences, and methods of producing modified transgenic plants that have been modified to allow the use of two site-specific recombination system to eliminate one or more controlled-use genes present as transgenes. The methods and vectors of the invention can be used to express one or more transgenes with a desired trait and prevent transmission of the transgenes to progeny of the plant. In addition, expression of the transgene can be restricted to a particular stage of plant development, a particular plant tissue, particular environmental conditions, or a particular time or location, or a combination of these circumstances. The two site-specific recombination systems can be contained in one transge...
