Abstract excerpt
Premature termination of translation has often been associated with decreased mRNA accumulation in plants, but the affected step in gene expression has not been identified. To investigate this problem, the expression of wild-type and mutant alleles of the bean phytohemagglutinin (PHA) gene has been examined in tobacco cells and transgenic plants. Measurement of mRNA decay rates in stably transformed cell lines...
