Abstract
The construction of four plasmids optimized for transgenic studies in barle y and other monocot plants is presented. All vectors contain the promoter a nd first intron of the rice actin 1 (Act-1) promoter to drive expression of the coding sequence of choice. Two of the vectors utilize the gene for gre en fluorescent protein (GFP) from Aequorea victoria as a screenable marker.
