The pattern of expression of the rolB gene, derived from the T-DNA of the plant pathogen Agrobacterium rhizogenes, has been investigated during the early stages of somatic embryo formation in suspension cultures of carrot (Daucus carota L.). The reporter gene GUS (Escherichia coli -glucuronidase), u

We report the identification, via their cDNAs, of genes which are temporarily transcribed during the initiation of somatic embryogenesis in carrot (Daucus carota L.) cells cultured in an auxin-free medium. Their expression is roughly associated with the first morphogenetic, or globular, stage. A cDN
A genomic clone has been isolated which contains an open reading frame of 1191 bp interrupted by two small introns. The ORF has been sequenced and the transcriptional start determined. The predicted amino acid sequence shows homology to the deduced amino acid sequences of two pollen-specific pectate
