Binary vectors and uses of same
Abstract:
The invention relates to binary vectors based on compatible and autonomous origins, specifically based on the pBBR1 and RK2 replication origins. These binary vectors are useful for having a wide range of hosts, for their maintenance in Agrobacterium sp. and Escherichia coli, and as a new tool for plant synthetic biology as well as a flexible framework for assembly, transfer and characterization of multiple DNA elements. The binary vectors disclosed are small, preferably less than 3.8 kb in size, stable, include an origin compatible with the most commonly used binary T-DNA vectors, comply with current standards for plant synthetic biology, and allow the administration of multiple T-DNA cassettes by means of the multiplexing of the vectors. The present invention also relates to methods for transferring and expressing nucleic acid sequences using said binary vectors, and to the uses of the same.
