Heat shock induced excision of selectable marker genes in transgenic banana by the Cre-lox site-specific recombination system

► Selectable marker genes are needed for generating transgenic banana, but are ideally absent from the final transgenic plant. ► We developed an efficient method to excise the marker gene from the genome of transgenic embryos after the selection step. ► The marker removal system is based on the site...
