Promoter, Enhancer and Gene Trap for Isolation of Genes
Although transformants for a large number of traits have already become available, all genes are not tagged in these transformants. Therefore, a major effort is needed to isolate any new gene that is not tagged in any of the available transformants. A large number of transformed plants will have to be produced and propagated to isolate these new genes. Furthermore, the insertion of transposon or T-DNA may nor result in perceptible phenotypic change. Therefore, if a new gene (for which mutation could not be produced so far through transposon tagging or T-DNA insertion) needs to be isolated, one may like to use a new strategy to clone the gene of interest.
