چکیده

A genomic clone encoding ascorbate oxidase was isolated from pumpkin (Cucurbita sp.). This gene is consisted of four exons and three introns. Analyses of the promoter fusion to beta-glucuronidase reporter gene by transient expression assay in pumpkin fruit tissues suggested the existence of a cis-acting region responsible for auxin regulation.

Cloning and Functional Analysis of the Promoter of an Ascorbate Oxidase Gene from Gossypium hirsutum

Apoplastic ascorbate oxidase (AO) plays significant roles in plant cell growth. However, the mechanism of underlying the transcriptional regulation of AO in Gossypium hirsutum remains unclear. Here, we obtained a 1,920-bp promoter sequence from the Gossypium hirsutum ascorbate oxidase (GhAO1) gene, and this GhAO1 promoter included a number of known cis-elements. Promoter activity analysis in ov...

Characterization and expression of a new class of zinc finger protein that binds to silencer region of ascorbate oxidase gene.

A unique A/T-rich sequence (5'-AAAAAGTAAAAA-GTAAAAAAGTAAAAAG-3), referred to as the AGTA repeat, is found in the silencer region of the pumpkin ascorbate oxidase gene. A cDNA for protein (AOBP) that binds to the AGTA repeat was isolated from pumpkin by the southwestern method. The AOBP protein has a new class of zinc/DNA-binding domain named Dof/MOA domain that is highly conserved in many plant...

Role of Exogenous Application of Auxin on Antioxidant Enzyme Activities in Rice Under Salt Stress

Phytohormones such as auxin are known to be involved in alleviating the detrimental effects of salinity by modulating the activity of enzymatic antioxidants and improving antioxidant system, which help in sustaining plant growth. The present study envisaged revealing the role of exogenous application of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in improving defense mechanisms in two genotypes (FL485 and IR29,...

Selectable Marker Gene Removal and Expression of Transgene by Inducible Promoter Containing FFDD Cis-Acting elements in Transgenic plants

Abstract Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production without using SMG is not economically feasible. However, SMGs are non-essential once an intact transgenic plant has been established. Eli...

Marked increase in ascorbate oxidase protein in pumpkin callus by adding copper.

Ascorbate oxidase from pumpkin (Cucurbita sp.) was purified from a commercially available preparation. A single polypeptide band with M(r) 64,000 was detected after sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified enzyme. In double immunodiffusion tests, antiserum against the purified preparation formed a single precipitin line with the crude extract from pumpkin fruit t...
