The expression pattern of this chimeric gene was studied, and the endogenous indoleacetic acid (IAA) levels in different organs were assayed. The results demonstrated that TA29 promoter was only able to direct the specific expression of iaaL gene in transgenic tobacco anther, and resulted in the decrease of endogenous IAA levels in transgenic tobacco anther. No significant phe-notype variation was observed among the transgenic plants at the whole plant level. However, the percentage of pollen embryogenesis was reduced to 11 % when anthers of the transgenic plants were cultured on the modified hormone-free Nistch H (NH) medium, while those of both CK1 and CK2 (see sec. 1.2.2) were more than 50% ; when the an-thers were cultured on NH medium supplemented with 0. 2 mg/L IAA, the percentage of pollen embryogenesis展开更多

Sequence analysis indicated that the isolated fragment was composed of 748 bp, encoding a glutamic acid rich (22 55%) and lysine rich (14 89%) protein which was hydrophilic throughout and contained seven imperfect repeated motifs of sequence V V E K K N/E E. It had 70 22% homology to the sequence of SB 401 cDNA reported by Liu et al. The deduced amino acid sequence shares 69 96% identity with the reported gene. Southern blot analysis indicated that tsb was one copy in the tomato genome tsb expressed only in pollen.展开更多

An important link in this transformation system is the delivery of foreign genes into pollen. However, DNA transfer into pollen is difficult because of the existence of a thick pollen wall, whereas pollen protoplast deprived of pollen wall should be advantageous展开更多
