mCherry, codon optimised for Nicotiana benthamiana and GoldenGate compatible

The sequence of mCherry, derived from part BBa_K133055, but codon optimised for Nicotiana benthamiana . It has extra 5' and 3' sites that make it GoldenGate Compatible. This is because there were no RFPs or derivatives in the iGEM parts registry that were GoldenGate compatible. This part expands the phytobrick registry and can be a powerful tool for plant cell imaging. RFP and its derivatives fluoresce in a different wavelength of light relative to GFP, which fluoresces in a similar wavelength to chlorophyll, and thereby is unfavourable to use a reporter gene in plants. mCherry also functions as a monomer, rather than a dimer like GFP, and consequently often has more consistent and higher levels of expression. This is an improved part.
