Abstract excerpt
Genomic and cDNA sequences corresponding to a ferredoxin-sulfite reductase (SiR) have been cloned from bulb onion (Allium cepa L.) and the expression of the gene and activity of the enzyme characterized with respect to sulfur (S) supply. Cloning, mapping and expression studies revealed that onion has a single functional SiR gene and also expresses an unprocessed pseudogene (φ-SiR). Northern and qPCR analysis...
