Abstract excerpt
Inducible gene expression systems are needed in functional genomics of tree species. A glucocorticoid-inducible gene expression system was established in a gymnosperm species Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana Mill.) through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation. The results demonstrate that expression of the m-gfp5-ER reporter gene was tightly controlled and 0.1 microM of the glucocorticoid...
