Abstract excerpt
A bacterial ethylene-forming enzyme (EFE) catalyzes oxygenation of 2-oxoglutarate to produce ethylene and carbon dioxide in contrast to a plant enzyme which uses 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid as a substrate. We constructed several lines of transgenic tobacco plants which expressed an EFE from Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola PK2. The gene encoding a chimeric protein consisting of EFE and...
