To screen a phage library, for example, recombinant lambda clones are plated out on appropriate bacterial medium using an appropriate E. coli host strain. The resulting plaques are lifted from the plates using nylon or nitrocellulose filters. The plaque lifts are processed through denaturation, neutralization, and washing treatments following the standard protocols outlined by Ausubel et al. (Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Greene Publishing, New York (1992)). The plaque lifts are hybridized to either radioactively labeled or non-radioactively labeled SDF DNA at room temperature for about 16 hours, usually in the presence of 50% formamide and 5�SSC (sodium chloride and sodium citrate) buffer and blocking reagents. The plaque lifts are then washed at 42� C. with 1% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) and at a particular concentration of SSC. The SSC concentration used is dependent upon the stringency at which hybridization occurred in the initial Southern blot analysis performed. For example, if a fragment hybridized under medium stringency (e.g., Tm-20� C.), then this condition is maintained or preferably adjusted to a less stringent condition (e.g., Tm-30� C.) to wash the plaque lifts. Positive clones show detectable hybridization e.g., by exposure to X-ray films or chromogen formation. The positive clones are then subsequently isolated for purification using the same general protocol outlined above. Once the clone is purified, restriction analysis can be conducted to narrow the region corresponding to the gene of interest. The restriction analysis and succeeding subcloning steps can be done using procedures described by, for example, Sambrook et al. (Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, New York (1989)).

DNA constructs of the invention may be introduced into the genome of the desired plant host by a variety of conventional techniques. For example, the DNA construct may be introduced directly into the genomic DNA of the plant cell using techniques such as electroporation and microinjection of plant cell protoplasts, or the DNA constructs can be introduced directly to plant tissue using ballistic methods, such as DNA particle bombardment. Alternatively, the DNA constructs may be combined with suitable T-DNA flanking regions and introduced into a conventional Agrobacterium tumefaciens host vector. The virulence functions of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens host will direct the insertion of the construct and adjacent marker into the plant cell DNA when the cell is infected by the bacteria (McCormac et al., Mol. Biotechnol, 8:199 (1997); Hamilton, Gene, 200:107 (1997); Salomon et al., EMBO J., 3:141 (1984); Herrera-Estrella et al., EMBO J. 2:987 (1983).
