MoClo Assembly

For protocols and outline of MoClo, see [http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/sb4001504 "Engler et al.:A modular cloning toolbox for plant cloning] or RFC 105.

If using MoClo, it is recommended that you use the [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1484316 selection casette] as the first of your level 1 parts.

After cloning into a level 1 construct, and amplifying the plasmid in E-Coli, it is suitable for direct electroporation into agrobacteria

Parts from other sources

If you're using Level 0 parts not from MoClo plasmids, you need to:

1. Make sure they don't have Bsa1, Bpi1 and BsmBI restriction sites

2. PCR Amplify them using primers:

Forward: AAAAGGTCTCANNNN_your_binding_forward_primer

Reverse: AAAAGGTCTCA[MMMM]'_your_binding_reverse_primer,

where NNNN denotes the according PlantSyntax/RFC105 code for the 5' end of the part, and [MMMM]' the reverse complement of the code for the 3' end.

3. Clone them into the appropriate acceptor.

See RFC105 for further details.
