Plasmids #46965, #46966 and #46968 are described in:

Targeted mutagenesis in the model plant Nicotiana benthamiana using Cas9 RNA-guided endonuclease. Nekrasov V, Staskawicz B, Weigel D, Jones JD, Kamoun S. Nat Biotechnol. 2013 Aug 8;31(8):691-3. PMID 23929340.

ID Plasmid
46965 pK7WGF2::hCas9: Expesses the human codon usage Cas9 nuclease (Mali et al. Science 339, 823-826, 2013) with an N-terminal GFP tag from the 35S promoter in the plant tissue.
46968 pICSL01009::AtU6p: Encodes the Arabidopsis U6 promoter in a level 0 vector (Weber et al. PLoS One 6:e16765, 2011). It is used to place an sgRNA uder the Arabidopsis U6 promoter.
46966 pICH86966::AtU6p::sgRNA_PDS: Expresses an sgRNA targeting the PDS gene in Nicotiana benthamiana from the Arabidopsis U6 promoter.
48075 pICH86966: A binary vector for plant gene expression (S. Marillonnet, described in Weber et al. (PLoS One 6:e16765, 2011).
