Abstract excerpt
The vsp1 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a storage protein that accumulates in vegetative organs. Transgenic plants expressing a vsp1 promoter-gus (beta-glucuronidase) gene fusion were found to contain high GUS activity when challenged with jasmonate, a volatile plant hormone. The induction of vsp1-gus expression by jasmonate could be measured in tobacco mesophyll protoplasts, after transient expression. A...
