Abstract excerpt
An intron-containing beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene has been used widely in promoter analyses and as a plant transformation marker. Maximal plant gene expression requires accurate and efficient removal of the intron from the expressed pre-mRNA transcripts by splicing. Detailed analysis of splicing of potato ST-LS1 and pea legumin introns from GUS constructs revealed the activation of a cryptic 5' splice site in...
