Two plant codon-optimized genes, CrylA(b) and CrylA(c), each consisting of 1,845 bp, have been synthesized using polymerase chain reaction techniques. A maize ubiquitin promoter was used to rapidly test the synthetic CrylA(c)gene. This construct was tested in a maize endosperm-derived suspension culture system. The use of maize endosperm culture in combination with a maize ubiquitin promoter has been found to be a quick and efficient system for testing the activity of synthetic genes
