A chimaeric tryptophan decarboxylase gene as a novel selectable marker in plant cells.

Plant Mol. Biol. 22(5) , 907-12, (1993)

A novel selection system for plant genetic transformation was developed based on the enzyme tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC; EC 4.1.1.28) from Catharanthus roseus. This enzyme converts the toxic tryptophan analogue 4-methyl tryptophan (4-mT) into the non-toxic ...
