Abstract excerpt
The tomato anionic peroxidase genes (tap1 and tap2) are induced by wounding and pathogen attack. The 5'-flanking region of tap1 confers wound- and pathogen-inducible beta-glucuronidase (GUS) expression in tobacco plants transformed with a tap1/GUS chimeric fusion gene construct. A series of nested 5' promoter deletions in the tap1/GUS fusion gene construct was created, and introduced into tobacco protoplasts via...
