, (2008/06/13)
A method for selecting from a population of cells genetically transformed cells into which a desired nucleotide sequence has been introduced, wherein in the transformed cells the desired nucleotide sequence or a co-introduced nucleotide sequence induces or increases a positive effect of a compound or nutrient supplied to the population of cells, thereby allowing the transformed cells to be identified or selected from non-transformed cells, e.g. for the preparation of genetically transformed plants not containing as a selection marker a non-native nucleotide sequence coding for toxin, antibiotic or herbicide resistance; as well as novel glucuronide compounds, including cytokinin glucuronide compounds, for use in the method.
