ABSTRACT:
The invention provides engineered plant minichromosomes generated by telomere mediated truncation of native chromosomes. These minichromosomes are faithfully transmitted from one generation to the next and provide an ideal platform for breeding genes into desired plant varieties with out problems, such as linkage drag, associated with standard breeding methods.
