Plastid Transformation Suite

ICON GENETICS has developed a complete set of technologies necessary for plastid transformation of tobacco and other Solanaceae plants. Our systems for plastid expression allow construction of transplastomic hosts for high-yield production of specialty proteins. We provide the platform with a full freedom-to-operate. We provide our clients with necessary training, technology transfer and contract research services.

Our advanced plastid transformation suite includes:
• High expression vectors utilizing operon insertion
• New selection marker with a full freedom-to-operate
• Visible marker assisted selection - rapid achievement of homoplasmy
• New marker removal technology - antibiotic marker free transformants
• Inducible expression system available
• Modular vector system for cloning of large or problematic sequences
• Specialized host systems
• Recombinant proteins
• Artificial promoters
• 8 patents filed
