About this Research Topic
To make PACs effective platforms, solutions must be found to overcome the obstacles in their application. For instance, innovative techniques for PAC assembly and efficient site-specific recombination methods for integrating numerous genes into PACs are required. By bringing together the greatest ideas, promoting communication, and presenting advancement in PAC study, this Research Topic aims to present an overview of this topic by presenting current developments. Theoretical perspectives are also welcomed.
We welcome submissions of original research, reviews, and methods, including (but not limited to) research on the following sub-themes:
- Novel practices in constructing plant artificial chromosomes/plant mini-chromosomes.
- Heredity characteristics of plant artificial chromosomes.
- Site-specific recombination systems in plants
- Applications of plant artificial chromosomes
Keywords: Plant artificial chromosomes, site-specific recombination, plant genetic engineering,minichromosomes, Chromosome engineering
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
