We report here expression of a protein based polymer gene (Gly-Val-Gly-Val-Pro)m , coding for three amino acids in a pentamer sequence repeated 121 times via the nuclear' ge~ome of tobacco cells. Transformed tobacco cells were obtained by particle bombardment. Stably transformed cells show the prese

Biodegradable polymers offer an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based polymers. Applications of protein based polymers include the use of these compounds in the fields of medicine, molecular-based energy conversions, the manufacture of unique fibers, coatings and biodegradable plas
Cymbidium mosaic virus (CyMV) is the most prevalent virus infecting orchids. Here, we report the isolation of partial cDNA clones encoding the genomic RNA of CyMV. Like most of the polyadenylated monopartite positive-strand RNA viruses, the open reading frame (ORF) coding for the viral coat protein
The expression of a stress- and salicylic acidinducible protein gene from tobacco, PR1a protein gene, was determined after its Introduction to lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) plants. The 5' flanking 2.4 Kb fragment from PR1a gene was joined to the bacterial Ξ² -glucuronidase (GUS) gene (PR-GUS) and intro
