pRI 101 DNA vectors are binary plant transformation vectors intended for foreign gene expression in plant cells. These agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation vectors carry the 35S promoter of caμliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) and the 5’ non-coding region (5’-UTR) of the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) gene. The 5’-UTR of ADH functions as a translation enhancer in plants. There are two types of pRI 101 DNA vectors, the pRI 101-AN DNA vector, which carries the 5’-UTR of Arabidopsis ADH (AtADH 5’-UTR), and the pRI 101 ON DNA vector, which carries the 5’-UTR of rice ADH (OsADH 5’-UTR). The pRI 101-AN DNA vector is for dicotyledonous plants such as tobacco or Arabidopsis while the pRI 101-ON DNA vector is for monocotyledonous plants such as rice.FeaturesAgrobacterium-mediated plant transformationEasy and stable integration of dicot and monocot target genes into plant chromosomesIncreased target gene expression via the 5'-UTR translation enhancer region  Vector versatility for dicotyledonous and monoctyledonous plant cells
