Abstract
Hygromycin resistance gene cassettes were designed to facilitate vector construction for plant transformation. Unique EcoRI, Pstl, and Sacll sites in the coding sequence of a hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene (hph) from Escherichia coli were eliminated. The mutated hph genes were used to form gene cassettes flanked by EcoRI-Sacll-Kpnl-Hindlll sites. Hygromycin resistance of wild-type and mutated hph genes was indistinguishable in E. coli and rice protoplast growth assay.Entities:
