InArabidopsis thaliana, various attempts have been made to create artificial chromosomes as a new tool for cytological and genetic analyses. However, most of the efforts have been unsuccessful until recently. Most eukaryotic chromosomes are linear, and therefore the Arabidopsis artificial chromosomes have also been designed to be linear and to carry the telomere structure at both ends. In contrast, circular artificial chromosomes were successfully created by the Cre/LoxPsystem combined with Ac/Ds transposon system, on the basis of the discovery that ring minichromosomes are relatively stable and transmissible to the next generations inA. thaliana. Because ring minichromosomes ∼1 to 6 Mb in size have been generated, in this article, the protocol for inducing large chromosomal rearrangements resulting in ring chromosome formation is described. © 2016 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
