Abstract
A set of module vectors for stable or transient gene expression in plants was constructed with regard to the majority of factors ensuring efficient heterologous gene expression in plants. The vectors are convenient to clone new regulatory elements and genes of interest via simple molecular cloning procedures. The vectors can be used to obtain transgenic plants with stable heterologous gene expression as well as to achieve transient expression because one vector includes the gene for the tomato bushy stunt virus p19 protein, which acts as a suppressor of posttranscriptional gene silencing.
