چکیده
Wang Y. (2014): Green tissue-specific analysis of a cloned rbcS promoter from Lemna gibba. Czech J. Genet. Plant Breed., 50: 235–240. Many plant genetic engineering taskss require the spatial expression of genes which in turn depends upon the availability of specific promoters. The present paper analyses the green-tissue characteristics of a new L. gibba rbcS promoter driving the expression of the gus gene in transgenic tobacco. A 1491 bp rbcS (small subunit of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase) promoter was isolated from Lemna gibba. The sequence analysis revealed that this promoter is different from the previously reported rbcS promoter and is named SSU5C. A 1438 bp fragment of the SSU5C promoter was fused with the gus gene and transgenic tobacco plants were generated. The analysis of T1 tobacco p1438-gus revealed that GUS expression driven by the SSU5C promoter was detected in the green part of vegetative organs. The promoter deletion analysis confirmed a region from position –152 to –49 relative to the start of transcription containing boxes X, Y and Z, while a positive regulatory region conferred green tissue-specific expression. Further functional analysis of constructs of box-X, Y, Z, which was fused with the basal SSU5C promoter, confirmed that the boxes X, Y and Z represent the new minimized functional promoter, respectively, and are able to direct green tissue-specific expression. This promoter may be used for gene expression in a tissue-specific manner in plant molecular breeding.

A light-regulated DNA-binding activity interacts with a conserved region of a Lemna gibba rbcS promoter.
We have characterized a DNA-binding activity, designated light-regulated nuclear factor (LRF-1), which interacted with a specific sequence located 150 nucleotides upstream from the transcription start site of a phytochrome-regulated Lemna gibba rbcS gene (SSU5B). There was a higher level of LRF-1 activity recovered from nuclei of light-grown plants than from dark-treated plants. In light-grown ...

متن کاملPost-transcriptional regulation of organ-specific expression of individual rbcS mRNAs in Lemna gibba.
Many studies of nuclear genes encoding chloroplast proteins have focused on the transcriptional regulation of their expression. The genes (rbcS) encoding the small subunit (SSU) of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, a major stromal protein, comprise one such group. We have examined the role played by post-transcriptional events in determining the relative levels of individual rbcS...

Two small regions of the promoter of an Lhcb gene encoding a light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein were identified as essential in conferring phytochrome responsiveness by using a transient expression assay. Initially, 5' deletion analysis of cabAB19, an Lhcb2 gene of Lemna, showed that sequences within the region from -174 to -104 relative to the start of transcription were necessary for ph...

To assess the tolerance and phytoaccumulation ability of the duckweed Lemna gibba L. to copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni), the aquatic plants were exposed to different concentrations of Cu and Ni (0.1 – 2.0 mg/L) in quarter Coïc and Lesaint solution at pH = 6.0 (± 0.1) and under a daily regime of 12 h light. Copper and nickel were tolerated by L. gibba at concentrations ≤ 0.3 mg/L and ≤ 0.5 mg/L, res...
