Selectable marker genes that usually encode antibiotic or herbicide resistances are widely used for the selection of the transgenic plants, but they become unnecessary and undesirable after transformation selection. An important strategy to improve the transgenic plants' biosafety is to eliminate the marker genes after successful selection. In the FLP/frt site-specific system of the 2 microm plasmid of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the FLP enzyme efficiently catalyzes recombination between two directly repeated FLP recombination target (frt) sites, eliminating the sequence between them. By controlled expression of the FLP recombinase and specific allocation of the frt sites within transgenic constructs, the system can be applied to eliminate the marker genes after selection. Through a series of procedures, the plant FLP/frt site-specific recombination system was constructed, which included the frt containing vector pCAMBIA1300-betA-frt-als-frt and the FLP expression vector pCAMBIA1300-hsp-FLP-hpt. The FLP recombinase gene was introduced into transgenic (betA-frt-als-frt) tobacco plants by re-transformation. In re-transgenic plants, after heat shock treatment, the marker gene als flanked by two identical orientation frt sites could be excised by the inducible expression of FLP recombinase under the control of hsp promoter. Excision of the als gene was found in 41% re-transgenic tobacco plants, which indicated that this systerm could make a great contribution to obtain the marker free transgenic plants.

Objective To observe the association between adiponectin gene polymorphism, serum adiponectin lev-els with the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients with essential hypertension (EH). Methods A total of 414 patients with EH (234 cases with CAD and 180 cases without CAD) and 185 control subjects were recruited in this study. Serum adiponectin levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent as-say (ELISA). Adiponectin single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs266729,rs7649121,rs1501299 and rs3774262 were geno-typed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results Serum adiponectin levels were significantly lower in EH with CAD group than those in control group and EH without CAD group. Adiponectin SNP rs7649121 AT genotype reduced the risk of CAD compared with AA genotype (adjusted OR=0.566,95%CI 0.346-0.925,P=0.023). Logistic regression analysis showed that age and LDL-C were risk factors of CAD, and adiponectin was the protective factor for CAD in EH patients. The severity of coronary artery stenosis was negatively related to the level of adipo-nectin. Adiponectin levels were not affected by the adiponectin gene polymorphism. Conclusion The decreased serum adi-ponectin level was the independent risk factor for CAD in EH patients, which was negatively related to the severity of coro-nary artery stenosis. Adiponectin SNP rs7649121 may contribute to the risk factors of CAD in EH patients.
