Gardening can be tough, make it worth it
You’re walking down the street; you glance over and see this gorgeous garden. The walkway leading to the garden is clear and uncluttered just inviting you to take a look. From where you stand, you see rows of green vegetables intermixed with herbs and flowers. While viewing the lush ground full of fresh, weed free compost, your mind starts to wander. Can I walk over and take a closer look? Would the owners mind if I stroll over and get ideas for my own garden? The pathway is so inviting, but you are afraid to trespass.
This scenario happens more often than you would think and it can happen in your garden too. You spent a lot of time making your garden a spectacular showpiece and, of course, you want people to enjoy the fruits of your labor, but no one comes to visit. An occasional visitor may stroll through and stop by a particular specimen and think to themselves, “I wonder what this is? I want one of those for my garden.” Then there is the visitor who may even stop at your front door and ask, “may I stroll through your garden” and of course you say, “I’d like to show it to you.” I find that I spend too much time and hard work too have one or two visitors per week.
What can you do about it? It’s really very simple. Just following a few friendly suggestions can make your garden an exhibition that would leave most professionals in awe. Here’s what to do. Do what the professionals do.
First of all, let the visitors know that they are welcome by putting up a decorative little sign that says “Welcome.” That is all that is needed to let the visitor know that they are allowed to browse and will not be chased off by dogs. The sign should be small and complement the garden. Second, make sure the path is clear, clean and free of any debris. You don’t want your new friend stepping on a rake. This next step is one that is used by professionals, but it will beautify your garden and give your visitor the information that they need to know. Here it is; place row markers at the start of each row and plant markers at the foot of selected plants. My personal favorite is the Italian Cashmere Garden Marker which displays a drawing of the plant, the botanical name, and the common name. These markers can be viewed at the authors web address. The picture will show you the beauty it will add to your garden while appeasing your visitors with much needed information.

Question about selectable markers – what do hygromycin, ampicillin, basta, and kanamycin do?
What specifically (I know that they make them less viable/and even dead in some cases) do these agents do to plants that aren’t resistant to them (by having the selectable marker)? In other words, how do they work on the organism? They each do something different, does anybody know what each/any does?
Basta is an herbicide, it’s trade name is Finale. I just didn’t know how it works. The gene that conveys resistence is the Bar gene if that rings any bells.

I know how they work for bacteria but I was asking about plants and resistance. Bacteria have a different kind of cell wall than plants but can the mechanism still be the same?
Hygromycin B is an aminoglycosidic antibiotic produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus. It is used for the selection and maintenance of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells transfected with the hygromycin resistance gene, hph. Hygromycin B kills bacteria, fungi and higher eukaryotic cells by inhibiting protein synthesis. The resistance gene codes for a kinase (Hygromycin phosphotransferase, HPT) that inactivates Hygromycin B through phosphorylation. Cloning of the resistance gene and fusion with eukaryotic promoters has resulted in the development of vectors that permit selection for resistance to Hygromycin B in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Ampicillin is one of the most widely prescribed antibiotics. It is considered a penicillin and is a close relative of another penicillin, amoxicillin. Unlike penicillin, ampicillin and amoxicillin can penetrate and prevent the growth of certain types of bacteria, called gram-negative bacteria.
Ampicillin differs from penicillin only by the presence of an amino group. The amino group helps the drug penetrate the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. It inhibits the third and final stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis, which ultimately leads to cell lysis.
Kanamycin works by affecting 30S ribosomal subunit and causing a frame-shift or it prevents the translation of RNA. This means that instead of a codon CAT (for example in sequence CATG), a codon ATG is read by aminoacyl tRNA (aa-tRNA). Aminoacyl tRNA is consequently carrying a different amino acid, because the anticodon on the aa-tRNA is different. The protein needed cannot be synthesised – a completely different protein is synthesised or a protein similar to the one needed, but not folded correctly; it depends of the site and severness of the frame-shift. A bacterium is destroyed because it cannot produce any of its proteins correctly.
Hope this info helps; I don’t find anything for “basta” that looks like it relates in any way to the rest of the question….
