Abstract | ||||
Based on the Ac/Ds two element transposition system from maize an activation tagging approach was suggested for the hybrid aspen (Populus tremula x tremuloides) line ‘Esch5’. A glucocorticoidinducible two element Ac/ATDs element system was used to induce activation tagged variants following two independent transformation steps. In combination with a 35S enhancer tetramer and outward facing two CaMV 35S promoter located near both ends of the ATDs element, expression of genes can be elevated located adjacent to the new integration site of the element. As selective marker for ATDs transposition, knocking-out the expression of a phenotypic marker (rolC gene) was considered. | ||||
