Abstract excerpt
The S-locus glycoprotein gene of Brassica is derived from the genetic locus that controls the self-incompatibility response and the specific recognition between pollen and stigma. The promoter of this gene was used to direct expression of the diphtheria toxin A chain gene and the Escherichia coli beta-glucuronidase gene in transgenic Nicotiana tabacum. Expression of the promoter in cells of the pistil and in...
