ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for transformingBrassicaplants to express DNA sequences of interest from the plant cell plastid. The method allows the transformation ofBrassicaplant tissue with heterologous DNA constructs. Such DNA constructs comprise, in the 5′ to 3′ direction of transcription, a promoter region functional in a plant plastid and a DNA sequence of interest. The invention further provides forBrassicacells in which the plastids contain heterologous DNA constructs.
