Genomic DNA from Brassica napus was amplified using Phusion Proofreading polymerase (Thermo Fischer) and primers with specific restriction sites. The amplified DNA was separated on an agarose gel and extracted using a GeneJet gel extraction kit (Thermo Fischer) and then ligated into a pJET2.1 cloning vector using the CloneJet kit (Thermo Fischer). The insert was digested and separated on an agarose gel and then cloned into a pHPT1 binary vector [44 (link)], using T4 Ligase (Thermo Fischer). The resulting construct was transformed into Agrobacterium and then into Arabidopsis srr1–1 plants using the floral dip method.
