Chimeric genes containing the coding sequence for bacterial chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) have been introduced by electroporation into maize protoplasts (Black Mexican Sweet) and transient expression monitored by enzyme assays. Levels of CAT expression were enhanced 12-fold and 20-fold re

## Summary Transgene expression in maize cells changed from intronβindependent to intronβdependent by an exact exchange of the __bar__ coding region for that of __cat__. By deletion mapping an approximately 100 nucleotide sequence element at the 5β² end of the __cat__ coding region was identified th
The herpes simplex virus type 1 VP16 polypeptide is a potent trans-activator of viral gene expression. We have tested the ability of the VP16 activation domain to activate gene expression in plant cells. A plasmid encoding a translational fusion between the full-length 434 repressor and the C-termin
An endosperm derived tissue culture of maize (Zea mays L.) variety A636 has been characterised for its ability to synthesize zein protein and respond to a zein gene regulatory element. Western analysis with zein specific antibodies revealed the distinct presence of zein proteins of the 15, 19 and 21
