Polygalacturonase (PG, EC 3.2.1.15), an enzyme commonly found in ripening fruit, has also been shown to be associated with abscission. A zone-specific rise in PG activity accompanies the abscission of both leaves and flowers of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plants. Studies of transgenic pla

Transgenic potato plants, cultivar D6sir6e, were produced that contained the coat protein gene of potato leafroll luteovirus (PLRV). The transformed potato plants expressed the PLRV coat protein (CP) RNA sequences but accumulation of coat protein in transgenic tissues could not be detected. Upon ino
We have shown leaf-specific inhibition GUS gene expression in transgenic Nicotiana plants using an antisense RNA with a 41-base homology spanning the translation start codon of the gene. GUS was expressed from the nominally constitutive 35S promoter and the antisense RNA was expressed from the light
Plant haemoglobin genes are known to occur in legume and non-legume families and in both nodulating (e.g., Parasponia andersonii) and non-nodulating species (e.g., Trema tomentosa). Their presence in non-nondulating plants raises the possibility that haemoglobins might serve a function in non-symbio
