Antibiotic Resistance Genes and their Uses in Plant Genetic Transformation - Overview
The production of transgenic organisms usually involves the delivery of a construct containing DNA of interest accompanied by a selectable marker gene, often an antibiotic resistance gene. This enables the selective destruction of cells not containing the introduced DNA. Selection is thought to be necessary for delivery techniques in which only a minor fraction of the treated cells become transgenic.
