Abstract excerpt
The expression of class I patatin genes is restricted to potato tubers but can be induced in other tissues by exogenous sucrose. Here we show that tuber-specific and sucrose-inducible gene expression is reduced in transgenic potato plants by mutations in a conserved 10 base pair motif within the B-box of the patatin promoter. In a southwestern screen, we have isolated a novel DNA-binding protein designated...
