Construction of cauliflower nuclear transformation plasmid
Cauliflower nuclear transformation plasmid was constructedusing pBluescript (3 kb) (Agilent Technologies, US), an hptII cassette (2.9 kb) from pCAMBIA1303 and a BoMinD cassette (3 kb)from pNAV42 + BoMinD (Chikkala et al., 2012). Firstly, the hptIIcassette from pCAMBIA1303 was cloned into pBluescript usingSacI and SacII restriction enzymes, then the BoMinD cassette frompNAV42 + BoMinD was cloned into pBluescript + hptII using XbaIand Asp7181 restriction enzymes (Fig. 1A).
