Translation initiation by non-AUG codons in Arabidopsis thaliana transgenic plants.

Abstract excerpt

The efficiency of translation initiation at codons differing at one or two nucleotides from AUG was tested as initiation codons for the phosphinotricin-acetyltransferase gene in T-DNA plant transformation in Arabidopsis thaliana. With the exception of UUA codon that differs from AUG at two nucleotides and does not permit any detectable activity, all the other codons (AUC, GUG, ACG, and CUG) present a...
