Most genetically modified plants are made with anti biotic-resistant genes and promoters derived from plant pathogens. To promote public acceptance, we have adapted a selectable marker and promoters all of which were derived from Arabidopsis thaliana to transformation. We have employed the gene for acetolactate synthase with its own promoter as a selectable marker, and the actin 2 gene promoter to strongly express an objective gene.
