Abstract excerpt
An Ltp2 promoter was isolated from barley as an aleurone-specific promoter, and its tissue specificity was maintained in transgenic rice. Expression of the Ltp2-gus gene in rice could be detected by X-gluc staining of the seeds. Previously, we reported the isolation of silenced plants in the R2 generation and the involvement of antisense gus transcripts in aleurone-specific Ltp2-gus gene silencing in transgenic...
