Paromomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic and has a mode of action
similar to kanamycin and neomycin. It is used as a selective agent for the
incorporation of the NPT II (APH3’) gene in plant tissue. Because of the
switch of the 3’ NH2 and 6’ OH group in the 3-Amino-3-deoxylucose ring
of both antibiotics, paromomycin causes a higher misreading in plantcells
and can be a better selective agent than kanamycin and neomycin.
