Abstract excerpt
The promoter of the S Locus Glycoprotein (SLG) gene of Brassica is a tightly regulated promoter that is active specifically in reproductive organs. In transgenic tobacco, this promoter is active exclusively in cells of the pistil and in pollen. We transformed tobacco with truncated versions of the SLG13 promoter fused to the beta-glucuronidase reporter gene. We show that the promoter has a modular organization...
