Seventeen cDNA clones of genes corresponding to mRNAs expressed preferentially in floral organs of Arabidopsis thaliana were obtained by differential screening of a flower bud cDNA library, and classified into five groups (1A, 17A, 1B, 4B and 5B) by cross-hybridization and restriction analysis.

โฆ Synopsis
Genes homologous to the auxin-inducible Ntl03 glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene of tobacco, were isolated from a genomic library of Arabidopsis thaliana. We isolated a 2 clone containing an auxininducible gene, AtlO3-1a, and part of a constitutively expressed gene, AtlO3-1b. The coding regions of the Arabidopsis genes were highly homologous to each other and to the coding region of the tobacco gene but distinct from the GST genes that have been isolated from arabidopsis thusfar. Overexpression of a cDNA clone in Escherichia coli revealed that the AT103-1A protein had GST activity.
