A DNA vector is provided for stable insertion and expression of heterologous genes in the plastid genomes of any Angiosperm plant cell. In this vector, foreign genes can be inserted in multiple cloning sites located at an artificial intergenic region obtained from the combination of atpB and rbcL operons that belong to plants of different Classes (dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous). The expression cassette is inserted into the plastid genome by homologous recombination between the atpB and rbcL border sequences of the vector with the corresponding homologous regions of plastid genome; in such a way that more than one gene of interest can be expressed under the transcriptional control of the rbcL promoter adjacent to the border region that encodes for the atpB gene.
