Abstract excerpt
To investigate the sequences responsible for the regulated expression of tapetal-specific oleosin-like genes, ca. 2 kb of the 5'-upstream regions from two divergent genes, OlnB;4 and OlnB;13, were isolated, sequenced and fused to the reporter gene beta-glucuronidase for study in transgenic Brassica napus plants. Although the proteins encoded by these two genes are highly divergent, except for the conserved...
