Abstract excerpt
A mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) gene, tMEK2, was isolated from tomato cv. Bonny Best. By mutagenesis, a permanently active variant, tMEK2MUT, was created. Both wild-type tMEK2 and mutant tMEK2MUT were driven by a newly described strong plant constitutive promoter, tCUP, in a tomato protoplast transient gene expression system. Pathogenesis-related genes, PRlb1, PR3 and Twi1, and a wound-inducible...
