Abstract

Minichromosomes have been generated in maize using telomere-mediated truncation. Telomere DNA, because of its repetitive nature, can be difficult to manipulate. The protocols in this unit describe two methods for generating the telomere DNA required for the initiation of telomere-mediated truncation. The resulting DNA can then be used with truncation cassettes for introduction into maize via transformation. © 2016 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

期刊介绍： Sound and reproducible laboratory methods are the foundation of scientific discovery. Yet nuances that are critical for an experiment''s success are not captured in the primary literature but exist only as part of a lab''s oral tradition. Current Protocols in Plant Biology provides reproducible step-by-step instructions for protocols relevant to plant research. Furthermore, Current Protocols content is thoughtfully organized by topic for optimal usage and to maximize contextual knowledge. Quarterly issues allow Current Protocols in Plant Biology to constantly evolve to keep pace with the newest discoveries and developments. Current Protocols in Plant Biology is the comprehensive source for protocols in the multidisciplinary field of plant biology, providing an extensive range of protocols from basic to cutting edge. Coverage includes: Extraction and analysis of DNA, RNA, proteins Chromosome analysis Transcriptional analysis Protein expression Metabolites Plant enzymology Epigenetics Plant genetic transformation Mutagenesis Arabidopsis, Maize, Poplar, Rice, and Soybean, and more.
