Abstract excerpt
SAG101, a leaf senescence-associated gene, was cloned from an Arabidopsis leaf senescence enhancer trap line and functionally characterized. Reporter gene and RNA gel blot analyses revealed that SAG101 was not expressed until the onset of senescence in leaves. A recombinant SAG101 fusion protein overexpressed in Escherichia coli displayed acyl hydrolase activity. Antisense RNA interference in transgenic plants...
