The authors have developed a simple and easy method for site_specific mutagenesis of any genes on plasmids using long distance inverse PCR in the presence of Pfu_DNA polymerase. The efficiency of this method is higher than 90% and the entire procedure can be performed just in one tube. No subcloning is needed. This method is especially useful for obtaining mutant genes on large plasmids such as Ti plasmids used for plant transformation.展开更多

In this study, the differential display technique was used to clone morphogenesis-related genes from A. philoxeroides roots treated with drought, which would help to improve crop plants＇ drought-tolerance by transgenic method; by 15 pairs of primer combinations, twenty putative drought up-regulated gene segments induced by drought were obtained; and one of them was confirmed by reverse northern blot, and subsequently cloned and sequenced. A homologous analysis revealed that it might be a new sequence. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that the gene was up-regulated by drought and salt stress.展开更多
