Question

Is ROP a selectable marker?


Open in App
Solution

ROP:

  1. Selectable marker genes are conditionally dominant genes that conduct the capability to grow in the presence of picky agents similar to antibiotics and dressings, which are naturally toxic to plant cells or hamper plant development.
  2. By strengthening the affinity between two complementary RNAs, the tiny dimeric protein known as Repressor of Primer (Rop) contributes to the mechanism that regulates the copy number of plasmids belonging to the ColE1 family.
  3. The ROP gene encodes a protein that is involved in replication and regulates the number of copies produced.
  4. It specifies the proteins required for plasmid replication.
