Technical Abstract: This patent application describes replacing a genomic fragment of DNA with a new fragment of DNA through site-specific recombination involving two sets of recombination sites. The gene replacement can be used to facilitate plant breeding through the translocation of DNA from an existing integration site to a new integration site. The patent also describes a method to append DNA repeatedly into the same chromosomal location through site-specific recombination.
