title: Elimination of selection markers from transgenic plants.
abstract: Selection markers, which were necessary for the isolation of transgenic plants, are no longer required in mature plants, especially when they are grown in fields. Regimes to achieve their efficient elimination, mostly through site-specific recombination or transposition, are being developed.
